How to write a Loving Wives tale?

[Wifetheif]

As an experiment, I wrote a throwaway story for Loving Wives. I tried to write a story that had all the incel faves, BBC, and burn the bitch. The scores are not high, which I expected. However, I have nearly equal parts favorited and comments. More favorited in fact. One comment was that it wasn't my best story, which is an understatement. In any event, the story is free of the usual vitriol and one bombing of my other stories. It seems to have set off a mini-reading binge of some of my older stories so that is a win. You CAN write for the incels. It won't be a particularly good or imaginative story but it WILL save you the noxious blowback.

Incel. That's a new word for me. I had to look it up. It's not a group I'd ever have thought to direct a story to. I didn't care for the story. I wouldn't worry about comments and ratings. I will check out some of your other work though.

LW is a dumpster fire .. one group wants the more degrading stuff done by wife by cheating on everyone..

The other group look at it like a biblical sin and any sign of cheating is met with 1* review bombs.

I knew an author whose stories i beta read literally cried when he saw his story at 2* with plenty of bad reviews initially..

I told him to keep trying and he wrote more on it

 

[sirhugs]

just don't include a tentacle monster...that seems to square the "sins" quotient:

Not Another Loving Wives Tale!

and all I wanted to do was have a bit of fun revisiting my earliest category twenty years later... no wonder I moved on to other categories... safe areas like incest.

If you like to experiment, I suggest writing a Loving Wives story from the perspective of the “other man.” By changing the perspective you can tell a story about extra-marital sex and get good ratings. I’ve done it a couple times. You’ll still get some wacko comments but deleting those is easy.

But I LOvE the wacko comments!

My incest stories score much better, but my LW stories are more fun to write. I love the comments. The haters are so passionate. I have one LW story with over 300 comments. They are as fun to read as the story.

Writing in LW is like playing Thermonuclear War on a computer. The only winning move is not to play.

Saying that, you'll get some great feedback in LW because people are there for the hate and love, for whatever reason. I stumbled into that section when I wrote a not-great story years and years ago and I almost quit writing erotica because of the feedback. But I got several messages telling me readers had massive orgasms and they loved what I wrote.

I watched one of my stories get over 25 comments when people were fighting about STD rates in seniors, for example. It's wild. It's for the lulz.

Why do you write anything? Is it to move or emotionally touch someone?

With the LW stories, you can do that. A good swinger story or wife sharing story can touch the readers and draw out a very strong emotional response.

Some readers might fawningly love a good romance story. They just don't tend to react with comments to say so.

In Loving Wives, the readers react with anger, hate, jealousy, and resentment, and many do comment, just in very insulting ways. But you know you got to them!

Posting to Loving Wives resembles fighting a duel with grenades in a closet. No matter what you try you are almost guaranteed to get hurt. Avoid 90 percent of the trolls and publish in a different category.

Best to hide behind all those high-heel shoe boxes in a loving wife's closet. As they collapse, they cushion the kinetic energy, dampen the sound, and grab many of the grenade fragments. Less hurt overall hiding behind those.

I've posted one story there just to tick off a bucket list item. Comments weren't scathing, just low scoring. I knew that reputation it had before posting there. So, I 'met expectations,' you might say. More than likely, I'll 'skirt' that category in the future.

Had to look up limnophile ... a new vocabulary word for me - lover of marshes, ponds, and lakes.

I think something got in my eye and I can't see well.
Tell me you didn't actually say that the subject or the target audience affects the quality of the story and its creativity. There's no way in hell you said that, right?

Sure, Dick and Jane readers have one purpose and one kind of readers. Poetry can be of various forms all with different target audiences and requirements of creation. Writing a bodice ripper for a female audience or a stroke story for a male audience tell essentially the same story but via two radically different highways. Writing a loving wives story for incels is quite different from writing a loving wives' story for a well-rounded audience is something else again. Writing a western is different from writing the tale of the south seas. I write my stories primarily for myself but also for the audience I expect to read it. That's just writing 101.

In my case, the love of having sex in lakes. Or pools, showers, etc. Check out my story "What's a Limnophile?" if you would like further information.

I personally enjoy writing stores for the Loving Wives category, when I have a decent plot to tell. Why? I get a great number of reads, probably more than any other category. Plus I get feedback. Some i expect because of the way I chose to tell the story. (And telling the story is my goal.)
I recently told a story from a husband's perspective and deliberately left out his wife's reactions, explanations etc. I did not want to delve into it. It was not part of the story I wanted to tell. Yes some lambasted me for the telling.
I also see some authors are very thin skinned when it comes to criticism of their own stories but will quickly impugn your IQ, sexual orientation, or character when he or she does not care for your story. Often, I score a story on its telling. Since I do not have a lot of time, I begin to read those stories with a score of 3.5 or above. Sometimes I will read others if I recognize the author, but if the story is does not appeal, I drop it.
Scoring is easier in other categories, although some of mine did not fare well because I do not generally try to write jerk off material.

I feel like the LW category label is too broad when compared to all the other categories. Seriously, when someone is looking for hands tied and nipples fried - they go to the BDSM, looking for dueling swords - the gay section, brotherly love - incest... etc. However, the LW encapsulates so many different story angles! There's the 'cheating bitch' stories, 'my gullible neighbors wife' stories, the 'watched and loved it', 'watched and hated it', 'my revenge', 'moved on', 'my wife invited her friends', 'my wife can make a great sandwich'.... the list of different angles and emotions an author can take is endless!
So, generally, I feel that often readers tend to be confused and insulted when the expectations of what they wanted to read doesn't match the plot line.
Perhaps the LW category should be further broken down in sub-classifications. Or maybe it's best to leave it as is... because, sometimes the chaos is the enjoyment.

Wow, the famous-infamous Loving Wives. From what I noticed it's a minefield.
But it's also fun to read hating comments there, so I do it as a form of weird entertainment.

The hateful readers in the Loving Wives category are NOT surprised when they click on a story which SAYS "Swinger Wife Fuck Another Guy". They will still click on it to post their comments and 1-bomb it.

It's their form of entertainment: Posting hateful comments!

Check out my story ‘you only think you’re in control’ and the over 300 comments. They’re a riot.

I just pictured a crowd of Loving Wives characters rioting in front of Lit World HQ, demanding "more love, less hate".

 

[FromDarkwater]

Meh, at the beginning of my story, I added a spoiler alert to tell the reader to either expect it or fuck off and find something else. I had one anon commenter say he did exactly as I instructed and "fucked off" immediately, but then pointed out I was a terrible writer. So, I was left to question:

So what is it? You fucked off after the intro paragraph or you read all the way to end to figure out I was a shitty writer?

Personally, I think it's sad when an individual has to prove their superiority under the guise of anonymity. Seems like wasted effort when we cannot shower them with recognition for being so masculine.

 

[FromDarkwater]

Or, perhaps the infamous 'anon commentor / 1-bomber' actually enjoyed the LW story so much that they masterbated to orgasm. Then, in a fit of remorse, feels like the only to way to redeem themselves is insult the author for embarassing them...

Yeah, I'll stick with that narrative as I read the insulting comments. It just means that I am a decent writer accomplishing the goal!

My latest story posted to Loving Wives yesterday. It was an ending to the open-ending story "JUST ONCE... IF YOU DON'T MIND?", where the original author almost two years ago invited other to write their own sequels (which I just did).

To underscore my opinion that commenter are being entertained, the latest comment on "JUST ONCE... DAMAGING CHOICES" (described as a sequesl) is: "
When is this story ever going to end? Do we really need to continue reading different variations of such an old story? Stop beating a dead horse and write something new. Otherwise an hack can do this."

This reader clicked on the story KNOWING it was a sequel to an older one, merely to post that comment. With so many stories posted daily to LitE, that commenter still felt the draw of hating yet another story he knew he would hate!

It's like watching racing cars, waiting and hoping for an accident, or "rubber-necking" as they pass car accidents with blood & gore or see a brutal fight. Some people come away saying "That was disgusting! ... Let's turn around to see it again or watch the reruns."
