Hey all,
The name's Seth. I love writing and after writing a short story (action/thriller) a few weeks ago, I have decided to give Erotica a try. I was quite horny the other day haha and managed to whip up a nice little story:
http://www.literotica.com/s/the-consultant-5
I love the idea of women, especially married women being naughty, and seeing as there is an entire section devoted to it (Loving Wives) it seems a lot of others do to.
Anyway, the feedback on it so far has been great, at least for a first story. The story rating is a 3.98 and has lots of positive comments. The thing is though I personally think I could have done better. You should read it for yourself, but I know that there are several plot holes/flaws as well as a disney, happy, over the top ending which seems a bit lame.
So I decided to write a 'spin-off' story, using a similar concept:
http://www.literotica.com/s/taming-the-gold-digger-ch-01
I liked how this 2nd story turned out. I think it was more well written, had a better plot and was a lot steamier, yet somehow the ratings are a lot worse?? (About 2.5 or so).
Why is this? I mean, I personally thought the 2nd story was hotter which should in turn equal better ratings, but I guess not. That's why I'm making this thread. Or maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on the ratings?
Seeing as I'm a newbie now is the time to really learn the craft of this trade, so if you take the time to read both these stories I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
