Sometimes I see new posters having a pop at this board. They think there’s a lot of mean bitching and they say it’s clique-y.

I’m not sure what they expect from an internet chat board where writers of smut get together. I don’t know why they think it will be different to Real Life communities, where people who have been chatting for a long time develop close-knit cosy friendships and are cautious about getting to know new people before cuddling up to them.

This is my li’l thread for saying Thank You to people who post on here: new and old, trolls and tarts ... I mean auspicious writers of elegant and refined porn.

I came on here two years ago. My life then was crap. I was looking at losing everything. Not just my job, everything.

I was kinda wary about posting on here, I thought it would be full of stalkers and Dirty Old Men.

Well, I was right about the Dirty Old Men, thank God! After a bit, I got my courage up and I flirted very outrageously with one Dirty Old Man. TBH, I treated him pretty badly. He ignored me for a long time. Eventually I got the chance to say, Sorry, I was just a stupid Newbie, sorry I was rude to you. He is a real good friend nowadays, even if he does say I am too young for him :(.

What I actually found on here were all kinds of friends. People let me cry on their virtual shoulder about my crap life. They flirted with me and made me feel good about myself. They listened to my points about writing and said they were useful, and I felt better about myself. They gave me reality checks, they said: “You are not unreasonable, people are being mean to you, you deserve better.” People I met on here have sometimes sent me presents in Real Life. I have been known to knit an Elf Hat for Someone, LOL. Sometimes people even gave me good advice about my writing! So many people have been kind to me on here that it would take forever for me to post all your names.

Some people are also saying there is too much other stuff going on in here. We should focus on serious important threads talking seriously about our serious writing.

I mean, seriously?!! :D We are writers! We look for inspiration everywhere, we love to read about strange news items and to play word games in order to get the creative juices going. OK, sometimes we get other juices going and are inspired by each other <snerk>, and that’s fun too. There is always flirting going on by the water cooler in any office, as well as some good bitching about how other things in your life are going wrong - things that prevent you from getting on with your writing so you get a cup of virtual tea off someone and feel better and go back to your writing.

On here I have had good advice for everything from which category to post my stories in, to how to change the water in the wishy-washy-wiper bottle in my car. I come in here most days to see my friends, read about writing problems and practice my flirting, I mean writing skills :eek:, in the word game threads.

This is not a democracy. It’s a site owned by people who are pretty generous about allowing all kinds of ‘free speech’ (*cough cough*bitching!). It must be run well because lots of people come in and put stories up and also come on this board to chat and make friends and get advice.

I love it here, trolls and all. In fact, if only I hadn’t been elected a School Governor I would get a t-shirt saying: ‘I :heart: Authors’ Hangout on Literotica’ and post pictures of my tits in it. Uh ... not that ... lovingly cared for antiques, these days, guys. You are not missing anything ;).

Thank you everyone who posts in here. Yes, you too, trolls. Sometimes I come on in a mood and put a li’l cracker up your bum and have a real good larf about it – thank you so much for that. And sometimes you too give me good advice about writing, thank you sincerely for that.

If someone was kind to you, feel free to pop in here and say Thank You. There is a lot of secret kindness going on here although we do like to play a li’l mindfuck game when we are bored :devil:.
 
Thank you, JamesBJohnson.

Once you read my Gay Male fantasy story even though you don't like either Gay Male or fantasy, it was very kind of you.
:rose:

And thank you too for that time you said you would not kiss my ass, allowing me to say: "Oh please kiss my ass!" Please feel free to come in here and refuse to kiss my ass as much as you like.
 
Well Said, Duchess.
Personally, I'm glad we no longer see politics (as in US politicians) and extreme views thereon, nor the vitriolic rants about how 'men are the cause of all trouble'.
I'm a bit concerned about some of the trolls who seem to think someone's comments are a suitable target for extreme rudeness (at best).
I also have my 'ignore' list. It helps me handle my Blood Pressure.

Every now & again, someone will answer a question that's been in my mind, thus precluding my asking it and thus appearing to be the complete twit.
To those with the guts, I say a sincere "Thank You"

Go fuck yourself. I don't do 2nd chances.
 
Thank you, Naoko. That was a lovely post, and encouraging for a relative newbie.
 
Thank you, Naoko for starting this thread! I could not agree more. I also came to Lit when I was having a Hard Time in my life and not only did I find a place to post the kind of stories I wanted to write, I found so many friends here as well.

So thank you Literotica for being a place I can write and get feedback and not feel like a Big Freak. I haven't found a better site to post erotic stories and participate in so many interesting and lively discussions.
 
A Big a Thank You to Slyc Willie for being genius enough to start the FAWC competition. It's been so much fun to participate in a themed writing challenge without the worry and angst of scores and number of reads. It has made my writing better and the critiques and discussions and debates are priceless.
 
Another BIG THANK YOU to patientlee for starting the Camp NaNo Cabin. Yes, I'm behind in my word count but it is so much fun to take on this challenge with the friendly support of so many writers I like and admire.
 
I would also like to send a special thank you to Stella Omega. She does not post often here in the AH but her awesomeness transcends.

Thank you Laurel for going through my many stories, when you have hundreds of them to look through every day, for putting a note of explanation when I got something wrong and they couldn't go straight up so I could put it quickly right.

And once I got in a mess and had to hurriedly message to ask for a story to be taken down. Thank you for sorting it out for me and getting back to reassure me it would be fine - with everything else on your hands.
 
Thanks for a great post. I still feel like a newbie here, but I'm too unaware to know if anyone actually put me down or resented if I was butting into a clique. But no one ever out-and-out told me to get lost.

Well maybe they did, but I didn't notice. Kind of like in real life.

Get lost, 49Greg. (Sorry, couldn't resist--besides, it's how Laurel is trying to paint me. Might as well help her out on that. :D)
 
Thank you TXRad, for doing battle quietly and consistently with **** and his fake competitions.

A while back, you used to bump Lovecraft's thread that exposed **** in here. Every time you saw **** floating his thread about his fake competition you would bump LC's thread, so new people would know it was fake. We used to join in and help you and I even looked forward to ****'s thread, cuz then I could go and bump you or SweetMaj and we would giggle about it.

The other day I was cruising the Feedback Forum, and I saw that **** has a thread there where he tries to promote his fake competition. I saw that you had posted in it! and when I had a look I found that you often go in there and leave a little warning to people that it's a fake.

I hate to blow your cover, so I just want to assure everyone that in spite of this you are a really really Dirty Old Man, honest, he is dreadful - ooh! pinch the other cheek then ;).

:rose::kiss:

You'll be okay, just add your 2 pesos, like I do.
 
Hullo Serafina1210, 49greg and JaxRhapsody, thank you for posting in my thread. :)

Maybe you have to have a thick skin in Authors' Hangout (personally I use Dr Hauschka rose day cream). I don't have anyone on Ignore, I just use my natural ignorance and rudely fail to pick up any posts I think are offensive. I figure what the F, this is an internet board. If I take things personally on here, I probably need to take a break. (Although, OK, if I am feeling a bit :devil:, I deliberately pick up posts and smack people's noses cuz I am a MILF and I do not like to see the little ones being mean to each other.)

There are a lot of threads here where people only chat in a friendly way, no mean stuff, and although they seem clique-y it's really not that hard to go in, and say: "Hullo, I'm new. What's happening in here?" Then people offer you a virtual cup of coffee or something a bit harder :devil: - uh, I mean booze by that ;). Virtual booze leaves no hangovers so you can have as many drinks as you wish with friends on those threads. There are soft things too if you prefer soft things.
