That's quite a ratio. You could write a book called "How to get people to like you without liking anybody back."

It's really not that difficult. I just created 700 sock puppet accounts.

Hey everyone! First-time author here, and I'm officially Lit published! I really enjoyed the process. I've been lurkiing in the AH for a while, and I've figured out that I'm a "pantser". I started writing and let the characters take me where they wanted within the bounds of my original concept. And wow, did they take me!
Happy to join your ranks!

@Anastasia_V The link to your stories in your forum signature is wrong. It goes to the Lit's control panel, so it will show the stories of whoever clicks on it.

You should replace it with the publicly visible list of your stories, which is https://www.literotica.com/authors/Anastasia_V/works/stories

Thank you, I’ll change that!

It’s my intention to stir the pot! So far it has 18 likes and ZERO comments. I’m rather disappointed.

Comments take time to be moderated at times, so you'll probably get some in batches at roughly 12am EST. Usually 1 - 3 days is what I've seen.

In a lot of ways, this is a bigger milestone than the first. Congrats, and keep going. Third time is the charm.

Thanks again.

The story cleared the hurtle of pending and is published.

Wow! This was not the welcome I expected from the LW crowd! And all four comments are very nice and very supportive! Color me gobsmacked.

That's what I'm talking about, people! Ingenuity! Ingenuity and lies! That's how you get ahead in the modern world!

The Nurturing Part 2 went live today.

In many ways, the second installment was much harder. Now the characters are somewhat established and in the first part I could be kind fancy-free because more or less, it's basically just a scene. But now I'm taking them further and I was super worried about relatability, some slim tether to realism, and all of that while still wanting the story to be sexy and interesting.

Anyway, at some point you just call it done and click to submit right?

 

[StrentWriter]

I just typed “The End” and sent it.

It’s done.

I’ve finished Peta.

Act 3, Chapter 9 out tomorrow, Act 3, Chapter 10 and the finale out next week likely.

Oh god.

It’s a bit dusty in this hotel room…

Last night set a new record for comments for me: 50 on a single story, not counting any of my own. My next highest is about half that. It's encouraging to get that kind of engagement even if some of the replies are weird misogynistic rants.

 

[StrentWriter]

Good morning everyone!

Big milestone for me: the final chapter of my novel, Peta, is out this morning.

In which Peta and Sam renew their vows, and Peta has to confess something to Sam…

Peta: Act 3, Chapter 10 - “Setting Sun”

On that note, I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who’s supported me and my work over the last six months. It has been my privilege to post here.

 

[StrentWriter]

Morning everyone!

Big milestone for me: I’m pleased to share the completed manuscript of Peta: The Complete Story.

This novel follows Peta, a fiercely independent pilot navigating love, loss, and the complicated realities of long-term commitment.

When her husband Sam disappears into a dangerous world far beyond their domestic life, Peta is forced to confront her own desires, doubts, and the fragile foundations of their relationship.

What unfolds is a story that moves between intimacy and distance, passion and consequence, ultimately exploring whether two people can truly find their way back to one another after being changed by everything they’ve endured.

You can read the full work here: Peta

I have officially started a very large project, including building a new website, starting a blog, planning a new podcast with just me, and getting the ball rolling on a test anthology to be released in August. With the potential of more anthologies to come.

@SighonSocial and @Rambling_Chantrix are my partners in this endeavor and I'm so happy to be working alongside them for this.

They encourage me to do the things I want to do, yet question my capability of accomplishing. But with them, I know we can do this and I am so excited to see what happens.
