New Milestones Thread

Just hit 20k reactions here. In a way I think reactions are more important than posts, they show that other people are at least vaguely interested in you.

I’ve seen people with three times the number of posts that I have and yet only half the number reactions (a 1:6 ratio). I’m glad my numbers are the way they are .

UPDATE: I think @AlinaX might have been #20,000 with…

The reaction score has only been around since 2022 that's why longtime posters don't have huge numbers of reactions

Apparently my first story here was published a year ago today. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

As Sexcretary-General of the Bad Pun Society, I vote to induct both @redgarters and @old_prof. All in favor?

Yes! The only good pun is a bad pun.

 

[anthrodisiac]

Yes! The only good pun is a bad pun.

And the only bad pun is one that garners no reaction at all.

And the only bad pun is one that garners no reaction at all.

There was an old thread 'Lost in the punhouse' where a few of us went back and forth. I came up with a story using the names of candy/candy bars. You have yourself to blame for bringing up puns. I realize some of the names are a little dated for the younger crowd so I'll put the relevant words in bold.

The following is a true story

I stopped at the skybar located on 5th avenue in Charleston to have a chew. I sat down at the bar, and two young ladies said "Oh, henry!" I said that's not my name, one then asked, "Reggie?" Again I said "No. and I'm no Mr Goodbar and have no interest in sugar babies, so run along."

I turned away and that's when I saw her. There she was, as peaceful as a dove, but stuck among some nerds. I asked the bartender "Who's that bit o honey over there?" he told me she was a tourist from Egypt and her name was Ahmand Joy.

I made my way over to her, ignoring the snickers from the people watching. When I got to her I told the three musketeers hanging around her to take off. At first they looked at me like I was from mars, but I told them I'd knock them into the Milky way if they didn't leave the lady alone.

They wandered off and I asked if I could sit and she said, yes. As I did I checked her out. I wouldn't say she was chunky, but she did have some curves. her mounds were perfect, much bigger than duds, but not exactly whoppers.

I said "Hey I'm Heath' and struck up a conversation and found that not only was she hot, but had some money, said she made a hundred grand a year, and that's a pretty good pay day. We had a few drinks and I asked if she wanted to come back to my room, after all it was just down the same rocky road the bar was on.

She agreed and man did I skor! Her only rule was she didn't like to talk dirty, but that didn't stop the fun! She was gobbling my watchamacallit and I was eating her kitkat, and then? Let's just say my peanut butter got in her chocolate. We went for hours, it was a damned marathon.

When we were ready to go another round I decided to go all in and ask if I could take a ride up her Hershey highway. She said she wasn't sure, she'd had nothing butterfinger up there before.

Okay...I'm done now.

I take full liability for prompting the recounting of that story. Please send all lawsuits to my lawyer.

Today marks my first anniversary as a published author on Literotica.

I’d been toying with the idea of posting for months beforehand and had already written a small handful of stories (a few of which will probably never see the light of day) before I finally took the plunge. I still remember that slightly awful wait for the first story to appear — refreshing the page far too often and hoping at least a couple of people might enjoy it.

Since then it’s been a really positive experience. I’ve made some good friends, received some very kind comments, and — I hope — become a better writer along the way. I’ve ended up dabbling in a few other genres along the way, which has been equal parts daunting and exciting and the results have done pretty well.

Probably the most fulfilling part has been the response to my long-running serial Belle Unbound. It’s never been my most viewed work, but the messages it’s prompted have meant a great deal. I’d written most of it before joining the site and released each episode every few weeks. From time to time I still go back to the final chapter and reread the comments — they remind me why I started sharing my work in the first place.

Next I’m planning to return to where it all began and finally finish the sequel to my first story, Executive’s Muse. I had it half written not long after publishing the original, but as always, other ideas insisted on being written first.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, or simply taken the time to follow along. It’s meant more than you might realise.

I'm back up to over 250 followers. About half of where I was when I deleted my account after 3 years of writing previously.


I don't remember how many works I had up before as a comparison. But I'm sure a fair number of the ones who've followed me this time around are regretting it considering my writing is all over the place.

 

[TheLobster]

Speaking of writing all over the place, thanks to my Pink Orchid entry in Toys & Masturbation I now have red H stories in exactly a dozen different categories.

 

[MillieDynamite]

@Erozetta, I've been creeping upward this past year as well. No idea how, I haven't published enough to say grace over the last year and the first month and half of this year.

Nice on both!

I read all of Nate the Snake. Totally worth it.

Earlier today, with over 500 votes, I had a Loving Wives story reach 4.06!

It’s dropped to 3.96/686 presently, but even that is still a very high rating for that category.
