I must ask...

[Chicklet]

why do people feel it is necessary to e-mail an author and tell them what kind of orgasm the reader has just had? It's so dumb.

My feeling is that the reader believes it's the best way they know how to let the author know that their story was hot. Most readers won't know how to critique a story the way most of us would. They just know they had a good time reading it. The "I came so many times" type feedback can seem redundant after awhile, but I find it flattering that they will at least take the time to tell me that.

another note

I just got a feedback with this guy asking if, since so many women on the internet are already showing it, if he could see a picture of my breasts. you know, because he "knows me" through my writing.

hey, my breasts are out there, you just have to find them (ah hem, look sideways) laziness irritates me, and requests like that are rude.

Dear Chickie,
I think that's better than having someone specifically ask NOT to see them.

Chicklet: I don't think it's rudeness or laziness; I'd call it stupidity. I don't mind the O reports; it's the wanna be my soulmate that uhinges me, esp. when badly written. P

lmao

quite right

 

[daisie]

What's worse is, feedback telling you that they took the advice given in your fiction and managed to get their sister-in-law into bed.

That was my favorite.

[Chicklet]

a few people have responded to my incest story telling me that i should be ashamed for sleeping with my brother. more have told me "you should have let your brother finish."

 

[TheEarl]

No-one's ever polite enough to inform me how they came to my stories .

I think it's because they feel that. 'Wow, that made me come' isn't sufficient to convey their gratitude for you writing that story.

[Chicklet]

maybe it's cause you don't have a picture of a hot chick in your profile...

I don't either, but I get a lot of that.

Actually, I enjoy my feedback emails. Yes, I'm starting to get some. I didn't use to.

I have a few readers who are very inventive in their discriptions on what my writing does to them.

One sweetie said she had to wipe the steam off the monitor to send the feedback.

Another said she had been watching the new story area for the next chapter. I made sure to tell her it would be a while, and not to spend every waking hour searching for it. I can only write so fast. But, I love her devotion.

Now, I doubt either of these ladies actually did what they said during or after reading my stories, but they were creative enough to tell me they liked my story and get a smile out of me, at the same time.

I look forward to another writer reading my stories, and giving me their views. It has been my experience that another writer won't tell you how your story got them all hot and bothered. After all, we are more cultured than that.

Other authors tell you how you used certain phrases well, or how you slipped out of POV in one spot. One may tell you should use cock with pussy, or dick with cunt, depending on the style of your writing, that is.

But, it all comes down to the readers, doesn't it. I'm glad I have a few creative enough to make me smile. Well, nobody has ever asked to see my tits.

My favourite piece of graphic feedback ended with "and I'm sending you an invoice for batteries" roflmao

[gauchecritic]

I had a feedback for a mature story from a lady who felt it was important to let me know she was in her 50s and the kind of orgasm she gained. Unfortunately I think she was writing to the character in the story rather than me, which was a shame.

SMUK:

My favourite piece of graphic feedback ended with "and I'm sending you an invoice for batteries"

That doesn't strike me as very complimentary, i.e., if you story were high on the arousal meter it shouldn't have taken long for her to arrive. The fact that she ran out of batteries, presumably for those delicate household applicances, means your tale slowed things down. Or, to give you the benefit of the doubt--she was a slow reader.

just saying, SM. your fan, Perdita

 

[SlaveMasterUK]

I personally would like to believe, since it's a longer story, that it kept her coming over and over again until the batteries died...

Having received lots of similar emails I've been forced into realising the 'Standard Stereotypical Litland Reader' was not the kind of person I initially expected.

Now that my writing has evolved, the feedback sticks out like a sore thumb. The majority of people who read and comment on my writing are people who are looking for a relaxing read with the ultimate glory of an orgasm. It's as simple as that.

When my stories don't give them that satisfying glory, I hear about it i.e. 'this was too 'flowery' for my liking' and similar variations.

With the realisation of the need of the basic majority of readers on this website, I've gained a freedom within myself to write as I see fit and to take comments in a more analytical way than they're meant.

Don't take it to heart Chicklet, just take it from a different perspective.

Readers, fans, .........

I haven't posted a story for a couple of months. In the past week I've gotten several unsolicited messages from readers asking when they could expect a new one. One even expressed the hope that I hadn't quit writing.

I thought those were .... sweet.

My small imagination is at fault. Your explanation makes fine sense. Good show and all that. I'll get a new battery pack and check you out tonight.

*sigh*

I got one once from someone who wanted to be friends.

I must try and be more dirty.

 

[Rainbow Skin]

Oh. My. God.

And then I just checked my e-mail and got my best feedback ever (apart from dear openthighs_sarah). No mentions of orgasms at all, but a writer appreciating another writer. *sigh*

 

[pop_54]

Ho hum

Jeez I've never had anyone tell me they came during my stories, I think I'm the only one who Jack's off over them.

I have had a few disturbing efforts from folks who've taken something a bit too seriously and believed it all.

Hey Mr, "Why don't you have her raped to death and her body burried in the garden" It's freekin fiction, she aint real, he aint real, and they aint fucking, fucking for real!!!!!!!!!

pops..........

 

[Sabledrake]

I've gotten a few of those "your story made me come so hard I passed out" or "I got a blister on my weenie from rubbing so much" kind of mails. It's mostly a matter of a few blinks, and a "well, happy to be of service" sort of reply

And a few requests for a pic. Trust me, folks, there's a reason I don't post a pic. I would much rather have people imagine me to be some smoldering sexpot. A pic might scare them off from my stories!
