So many top rated incest stories that is just so bad

[englishnospeak]

Yeah Incest is wrong blah blah blah, people know this. Yet there is so little inhibition in many of the top stories or none at all. These writers couldn't be bothered to try to make them a bit more realistic or more beliavable? Yes people just want to get their rocks off, don't we all? really they could just watch porn, it's faster and much better instead of giving these "Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am" stories high rating. Ok rant over.

ps:sorry for bad english i speak spanish

My stories tend to have hesitation and conflict because I do agree it adds some realism to an unrealistic category.
But just so you know, I get criticized for my son or brother characters being wimps because they resist the advances of the mom/sister because its wrong...they say they're cucks and simps etc...

So, whether you write some depth into the story or just go full blow porn hub some will like it, some will bash it.

Most readers are here for a quick wank and they won't be denied by this plot-building, conflict and hesitation 'nonsense'. If you aren't having an erotic scene by the second page, you'll have many readers roll their eyes, press the back button and (in a few petty cases) downvote you for wasting their time. They're not critics or expert readers. They're horny people who want some good ole family action in 3 or so Lit pages.

Initially, pandering to the aidience is a great way to gather a nice followership and high-rating portfolio of stories as an author. Some popular artists/authors start with what is popular and, after they've achieved a certain amount of audience, they switch to their original voice.

"Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am"

'Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mom' surely?

It's probably a mistake to get too hung up on what other people like (both on Literotica and on general movie reviews) even when its frustrating when you can't find the particular type of story you're after. I read a lot of stories in various categories and often scratch my head at how some of them got a red H (especially when my story, posted on the same day didn't grrr), but obvously someone is enjoying something about them.

Sneaky. Seems I've been doing it wrong.

When I started writing here, I had never read any stories. My wife found Lit and encouraged me to post some of my work here. My style with taboo has always been to respect the word taboo as in this is not something that should be entered into lightly, and come up with ideas as to how a mother/son brother sister etc could be willing to cross the line.

I had no idea if that was the more popular style as opposed to quick stroke stories or quick to the action stories, and TBH still don't know of the two which is the more widely read. But because I started that way and for the most part have maintained it, people learned that was my style and those who liked it followed me, those looking for the quick stuff didn't.

Good scores come from building the base drawn to your style.

But you can also become a victim of your style. For example I have done a couple of quick and dirty mom's how why not type pieces and the scores are lower, and I get comments saying they prefer my other stories. But for all of those, I do get some new readers because they saw it was a shorter story than my others, had a stroky title and gave it a go.

Best to write your way and let the readership find you.

I spent a month wrecking myself to churn out Nazanin, and today it's sitting at 1 out of 5 stars, with the only comment being "too long to even attempt." I'm trying to laugh about it.

But then here I am, constantly refreshing the page and hoping for readers to discover that it's at least a 2-star story.

Title alone will get some idiots to bomb it "It doesn't say what it is" followed by Beavis and Butthead laugh.

Congrats on being so ambitious I have a 80k or so haunted taboo story as well "Spellbound". Mother and son and a homage to a lot of great haunted house tropes

Your story is indeed huge. My advice is to break such stories into chapters and publish the chapters with 3-4 days delay between them. People would rather read something they don't need several hours to read through, especially if you are a new writer and they don't know what to expect of you, if it's worth investing so much time etc. Giving you one star just to punish you for a long story is spiteful, but yeah... it's the Internet. I wish you good luck and many five-stars

From Nazanin, before the story even began...

I'll level with you. This story is too long. Google says it's a few hundred words longer than The English Patient. And since I've had to work double time to get it drafted, edited, and reviewed fast enough to submit to this year's SL22 contest, it's coming to you a little rough 'n' ready. But I won't apologize. I am endeared to this particular tale, warts and all. I really think you might like it, if you can stomach it.

You sabotaged yourself.

 

[TheWorldBuilder]

Well I went and looked. It's long, but not excessive. Six hours should normally see me absorb 144,000 words, though, so it may seem longer and more opaque to an average reader than it actually is.

Three specific points: There's a  lot of dialogue, but styles vary. The descriptions of Nazanin that were slipped in pushed most of my 'like' buttons, except maybe her snark. What's this fixation that all you Americans seem to have with arseholes?

Overall, it's definitely far better than a 1 and I hope I've bumped your score upwards a little.

"Know your audience." It's feedback that has hounded me my whole life.

That little blurb at the foot of my bio is as real as I can be with readers: "My stuff is not for everyone." People who ARE my audience ought to read that and perk up, because my people know they are few.

What stings, and what is perhaps most relevant to this terrific thread, is that in the process of trying in good faith to reach my own lovely little audience, people who are not my audience go out of their way to rate my shit downward into oblivion. Some of these 1.0s are probably legitimate negative opinions from people who honestly don't like my style or want me to do better, but plenty of vocal critics have let me know they disliked my stuff on the basis of:

• The piece being long, despite that being something you can literally just see and walk away from before even investing any effort in reading
• A female character having armpit hair
• Skipping around randomly and judging a whole story on the basis of bits and pieces, like judging an entire film on the basis of a trailer, or an LP on the basis of a few 30-second soundbites, or a novel by flipping around and only randomly reading BITS AND PIECES oh my god I'm sorry but this is so fucking triggering. Find me a novel that stands up to this test. Or else tell me the secret of your wizardly ways, oh ye genius who can crack the code of an entire work on the basis of objectively insufficient information. /rant (The rest of this post is convivial. Sorry.)
• Nonconsensual sex taking place in a story tagged as having nonconsensual sex
• Substance use taking place in a story tagged as having substance use

I wish there were some other way. My stuff has heart, and deserves an audience who likes stuff that has heart, even if it's a small, weird, horny audience with too much time on their hands.

Actual Helpful, Post-Pity-Party Suggestions:

Maybe if there were only a Favorite system for ranking stories on Literotica, and not a 5-star rating system? That way, beloved stories could rise to the top of the ranks, and ... then that's all the physics we'd really need? Or what if the 5-star rating system was only tied to personal, like, algorithmic reader recommendations, and wasn't a publicly visible or ranked thing? Like the extremely good system Netflix had before it switched to the (broken, dishonest, capital-driven) thumbs-up/-down system?

Either one or both of these ideas might help authors like me immensely, who write reasonably well but lack mass appeal. It'd also help readers like me, who just KNOW there's a bunch of excellent shit hiding in plain sight on this site, drifting around in the mid 3.0s and low 4.0s because their authors are too unpopular to be able to withstand a few spiteful 1.0s.

Xarth is one of my favorite writers on the site for this reason. Just such excellent writing. I cum the most when I read his stuff.

Seriously. I finally caved and became a member of Literotica because of how good Legend of Lexi was.

Nonconsensual sex taking place in a story tagged as having nonconsensual se

Non con in taboo will always get you flamed. My theory on it is because we all know that in real life most instances of incest are abusive and pushing that reality into fun consensual fantasy is a little reminder of that and they react badly.

Did OP mean to say, "Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mom"?

 

[EliMansion]

I'll do a shameful plug for my first story, Dating Mom. I wanted to aim for something a bit more realistic with this while still keeping the sexual undertones prominent. I'm currently working on part 2 at the moment, but constructive feedback is always appreciated.

Dialogue grammar needs a little work, and I'm not sure 'busted out laughing' is what you meant. Also not convinced about sucking vibrators; I mean, sure, it's fun, but for how long?

I'll give ya some feedback, I remember reading this when he it was posted and thinking your story (and the pace of it) was great for a first-time submission! I really liked the slow build....the resistance...stuff like feeling the panties through the dress...that stuff adds so much to a story!
