New Milestones Thread

[sirhugs]

Non-human. I usually get my first vote there by 150 views. To be fair though, I have had someone favorite it, but they have over 3000 favorites so I'm not expecting much there.

No, and it's probably not showing up on my author profile yet. Just went live last night/this morning.

Most likely, stories about sentient squids, just aren't most people's things. XD

sentient squid aren't that different from tentacle monsters, and my top rated story is a TM story, though the sentience of the TM is dubious- it is a non speaking part. mine has 1 vote per 182 views.

My newest story has nearly 400 views, and no votes. XD Not sure what sort of milestone that is, but it's certainly a milestone of some sort.

Oh, this is the one I pseudo-beta read? I have it on my TBR list, but I'll be curious to see how it changed from when I poked around at it!

fixed that for ypu.
It does start slowly, with the narrative description dominating, so some readers may not have continued. I find that the views to votes ratio drops off with each additional page.
Loved the awkward dialogue about porn and masturbation.
IMHO, and I'm just a middling writer, no Stephen King, more dialogue early draws the readers in and keeps them reading. You have a smooth knack for dialogue and could use it to greater effect.

Thanks! You're such a sweetheart.

Also, it's kinda a sequel to The Party and Date Night, so I have written more about Harper and Erik.

One of my lowest rated stories is a tentacle monster story. But then, being my first short story and all, that story has a lot of issues. Not the least of which being that it's a stealth first person story, and the tentacle monster gets eaten in the end.

Yeah that one! My author's note kinda disappeared though. I think I got too eager to finally post it and forgot to write it out.

I've posted 50 stories on Literotica, most with the 4.50 "hot" rating.

I am very proud of both!

My newest story is sitting pretty at 4.75 https://www.literotica.com/s/on-the-day-of-their-vacation

First ever story published today, and first time added to someone's favorites.

A Lonely Wife Is A Maid At Night
She hides her true heart, but the sex uniform fits her body

There is a tentacle monster, but also a cheating wife, which I understand is much more contraversial? Plus an unconventional writing style. So I have no idea how the ratings will shape up.

Voted and faved. Thoroughly wholesome tentacles story.

Oooh. 800 followers.

That feels nice.

One of my story hit 50K views and one hit 500 votes.

Both numbers blow my tiny mind .....

I feel like one's posts-to-reacts ratio is probably meaningful in some way, but I'm not sure exactly how...

I think it depends how many of the reactions are Angry.

There is sadly no react for Second-hand Embarrassment.

Just a little while ago my story "Toxic Nights" received its 20th favorite, which is my new record for most favorites of any of my stories (actually, it reached that milestone weeks ago when it got the 17th favorite, but I thought I'd wait until I reached 20 to say anything).

My other story "Perfectly Natural" is right behind it at 19 favorites.

EDIT 8/15/2026: I'll also mention that I just posted my eighth story of the year, which puts me at over 104k words posted total, and over 56k words this year alone, all of which are new records. I also have a new milestone of 69 followers, which, just speaking personally, I thought was nice.

Congratulations! Feels good, doesn't it?

Yes : ) Two comments are through moderation, both very encouraging, which makes me happy.

I don't know what's up with the new Top Lists, but I ain't complaining, especially since, somehow, two chapters of my older 3 Crushes and a Wedding showed up there for the first time in ages (ever, probably?). And there's one chapter of Strings Attached at Nb 4, too, for good measure. We take the wins, no matter how the algorithm deals them.

One of my stories hit 20k views!

That story has now passed 30k views and 100 ratings! By far my most popular story, though not highest-rated.

Tender Cruelty (in R/NC category)

Passed half a million views this evening. Only 300k-ish at the start of the year.
