Loving Wives recently

[Gamblnluck]

I'm not sure if others have picked up on the trend. Comments for most stories have dropped off to a trickle. Unlike what many here on AH claim, people are not engaging. There are MAYBE two or three stories getting above a 3.5 daily. Some of those get a little discussion but most of the others don't. I have no way to judge views, but I'm guessing they are down.

Most comments need to be approved, so they are likely suffering from the same lack of moderating power that plagues story publishing. It's likely temporary.

I've just submitted a Halloween contest story in that category, so I guess I'll be checking if you're correct.

It used to be the most active category. Maybe the readers are getting tired of cheating wives...

Two things

1-and most likely, they're falling behind on comment moderation, or the comments are getting lost which is what's happening with stories.

2-And this would be wishful thinking on the part of many, they're actually moderating the comments and a bunch are being kicked aside for being abusive

You mean they realized they're the ones trying to control the category and realized they can't?

Every time I see one of these "where's the loving wife" comments I have to hold my eyes so they don't roll out of my head.

Its the right category, the incels and moralists are the ones that need to deal with it.

As an aside, just hope your story gets published at all, first thing's first.

It has been approved for publishing on the 2nd.

But sometimes the moderators will change the categories and tags on submitted stories, so I can't be 100% certain that it will be in Loving Wives. I hope so though, because the subject of this thread has made me curious.

MY last story in LW was posted in July, and after over two months, I'm still getting more views every day, with about 500 over the month of September. But, since the last 1-bomb sweep a month ago, I haven't received any more votes or comments. The last comment was in mid-July. And with only ten comments by then, I'm surprised. My haters are deserting me.

It could be the story itself which shocked the readers, since they're probably hard pressed to hit it with their usual "cuck shit" comments (if they READ the story.) Or might it be I finally shocked the shit out of them, and it had a positive ripple effect?

Okay, my moment of grandeur has passed, and I'm back. There's no way they'll change with my shitty writing.

Yeah, whether they're good comments or not, seeing a major source of them suddenly get cut off isn't a good sign

BTW welcome back, haven't seen you in awhile

Well you know how it is - life and work can have a highly detrimental effect on our hobbies.

But when I become a billionaire, I'll retire, hire a busty blonde secretary and become a full time erotica writer.

The first story on the LW hub has 28 comments (that's two up from the last time I looked) but nothing else published today has even one. Is that the only story worthy of comments?

No, they must be bottled up.

This site has always been a little wonky with its share of glitches, but lately its getting worrisome.
