LW is not your friend!

Making unsubstantiated allegations can also be considered trolling. Just sayin.

Allegations? That's a bit strong. I'm just not engaging with that in any way except to say the post was bait. Intended to enflame. My opinon.

I don't agree with that.

The difference between Loving Wives voting and voting in other categories is very simple. Loving Wives voters are much, MUCH more likely to vote up or down on a story based on whether they approve or disapprove of the subject matter of the story, irrespective of the skill with which the story is told. It's a very obvious peculiarity of the category that is amply evidenced by the comments readers make. I don't see reader comments like that in other categories.

In most categories, readers who like a story are more likely to vote than those who don't. Those who don't choose not to vote, or choose not to finish the story and then not vote. That's why scores skew high.

But in Loving Wives, substantial numbers of readers, as soon as they figure out that the story is what they regard as a "cuck" story that violates their moral sensibilities, stop reading, fast forward to the end, and downvote the story. The quality of the writing is irrelevant. How do we know this? Because the reader comments say this is exactly what they do.

I see no evidence of this happening in other categories to nearly the same degree.

Yeah, this is my experience as well and it's why I don't put anything there any more.

FYI new writers Beware of the Loving Wives category!

Ha! I just got scorched! Ripped to shreds in comments for two chapters posted to Loving Wives!

It's not a category I normally post to, but I'd written a story about Stags & Vixens. For those that don't recognize the terms, a 'stag' is a man that likes to watch other men have sex with his wife/GF, the vixen. This lifestyle is different from a cuckold man. The women isn't shaming or sneaking around on her man.

Hmm? Where to put a story about a husband and wife and consensual adultery? I scanned the categories. This one says 'Married extra-marital fun: swinging, sharing & more'. Oh, Loving Wives seems like the perfect fit.

NOT! At least not by the readers. The comments were hilarious. Those folks defend there ground!

CYA?

Is that 'cover your ass'? Why?

Just so no one thinks I'm posting a picture of an underage teen in a lit forum. Luke had a pretty immature attitude. LOL
