Readers and Writers read this.

I have read many many stories on this site and almost everyone that I read there is always a nasty comment on there about the story from alot of the same people. Literotica is a site for stories of fiction and fantasy. It says that on the main page. The definition of fiction in cas most of you forgot is
An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented.
The act of inventing such a creation or pretense.

Why are so many writers being criticized for writing from their imagination. Why are so many writers being told that their story sucks because its not real or its unbelievable.

I hate that when I find an author that I like they stop writing because someone has told them that their storys are not good enough.

To everyone bent on being mean to other people: please keep the shitty comments to yourselves. Tell the authors what they could do to improve but dont tell them that they are stupid and that their storys were written by imbeciles. Thats just plain mean and unnecessary.

Its sad that you have felt the need to write such a statement. But there are indeed some old grumps out there who seem to enjoy bashing stories about, usually for some flaw in one of the characters' makeup. Oh well. I guess it's part of the overall scheme of things.
 
Most of the bad/nasty comments you speak of are from what we call Trolls and are something of a sick joke among the writers here. Most people don't take them seriously and the few that do soon learn not to.... To be trolled actually means thayt you have become good enough to be noticed and taken seriously...

If the nasty statements aren't from trolls then you must be reading Loving Wives.... lol that's a killer section for writers as there are two groups and no one has yet to satisfy both at the same time....

I agree, you're going to have people who are impossible to please, and others who take great delight in being mean. It's not just on this site. I've visited other erotic art sites and people get trolled there too. It sucks, but it's a fact of life.

None have been developed so far that would not pose undue hardship on the normal readers. Forcing non-anonymous comment just makes almost everyone stop commenting, apparently, and they can make alts anyways to get around that.

its not sad that i felt the need to address this issue. why is it that everything people in this world make has to turn to shit? wasn't this site origionally made for people who wanted to express themselves through erotic literature? i've written on this site and im sick and tired of the bullshit comments that i get left with. im sick of reading that shit and im sick of reading it on the other authors stories. all im saying is that if you cant leave a nice comment or at least one with some suggestions to make the authors stories better then dont leave a fucking comment.

I completely understand what you're saying. My climactic chapter of my novel was hit badly by three different such comments. They not only attacked my story, but me as a person and my character. My score dropped so bad that I just knew it would never make the 'Hot' list. But to my amazement, it has.

I was so proud of that chapter when I submitted it. I just knew it would be the highest scoring chapter in the book. And I thought so in error. Much to my chagrin, it plummeted to a depth that I was absolutely heartsick with. However, since then, it has risen to match the scores of my other 17 chapters. I bless the other readers who were gracious enough to vote well for me and those good comments that I did receive.
