Stupid People Critiques

[flavortang]

I recently got a critique on one of my stories, calling it unrealistic that a female character was astounded that the male lead character was not a virgin after having a live-in girlfriend for a year. But in the story, it was clearly stated that he'd slept with seven or eight women. THAT was the female character's beef. She was a virgin and was miffed that this guy that she was enamored with had had several lovers, none of which were her.

I wondered if the guy even fully read the thing.

Do you guys ever get critiques from people who seemingly didn't read your story right or comprehend what they were reading?

Yes. A lot of readers completely missed the point of my story "Denial." I got a lot of nasty PCs.

It's pretty astounding. I had another mostly positive comment, but they mentioned being disappointed that, in my story, the female character didn't cum at any point in the story, when she did several times. (slaps forehead)

Of course, especially in Loving Wives category. The minute they read where the husband is letting his wife sleep around with out consequences or she is cheating on him without his knowledge, they stop reading and fire off a comment on how the husband is such a wimp or the wife is a slut or he hopes they all get AIDS and die. Stupid trolls.

I wonder why they bother to read the stories. It's erotic literature. People are going to do some torrid shit.

My first try at SciFi posted earlier in the week... The first comment wanted a sequel the second wanted me to make it a series.... The main character dies three times and is buried on the moon in the end... Lots of luck with writing more....

Another story got bashed for a scene where the woman is raped.... I wrote it and had to go back and reread it to make sure but yeah there was a rape in one sense of the word... She raped him.....

Yeah it happens more often than most people who don't post here would believe....

Put the Cumming scenes in bold type. That's all they're interested in, anyway.

Hmmm, words of wisdom from the good little witch...

Hmmmm, I think you've found the answer to the major troll question.....

or we could underline the sex parts.... it would save them from reading all that mushy crap....

They like the titillation it gives them but then they feel guilty and take it out on the author.

Read my Humor piece on the subject "Oh Crap! "

Ah. I read this differently.

If we are going to start critiquing stupid people, I have a loooong list.

I like it the way you read it.

Here's a stupid people critique of you: You're a very nice man.

Oh, thank you.

And you know, all those hairs in your nose only add to your character.

Dang, Zeb! I wrote a story about a troll bombing stories. It was rejected with a statement that it seemed better suited for the AH. Maybe I'll dust it off and resubmit it. Very narrow audience though.

Not true! I like a few of the others.

He carefully tied her hands to her ankles with a bungee cord and fastened a rubber band from her ears to her nipple rings....

Ah. Those go in Italics, my friend.

I'm planning on ending the story with a condensed summary, sans dialogue, of the last events rather than actually writing them all out, like an epilogue. Is this a wise idea or should I actually write it all out?

 

[WRJames]

Texas Mermaids has provoked a couple of strange responses. One that it was "antiTexan" (that one I deleted). I guess it didn't have enough throbbing cocks plundering juicy pussies for the Lit readership.

 

[BlackShanglan]

The SO and I still laugh over some of the more memorable ones. I appreciated the compliment from the young lady who liked "Will" and said that she would like to see more on those characters, but was a bit stunned by the suggestion that by some magical means, the lead character, a horse, could be turned into a human woman to better suit her human male lover.

Well, yes, I imagine that she could, but ... were you reading the same story I'm thinking of? The one whose entire point is the nobility, courage, and sacrifice of characters who manage to overcome that barrier against all possible odds?

Perhaps not. But still, it doesn't get the giggles of our favorite on the same story: "Needs more sex." Yes, yes indeed. Sorry 'bout that. That phrase is now shorthand in our household for "genuinely silly comment."

"Anti-Texan"? lol That's hilarious.

"You're Pro-Missouri and Anti-Texan! You're not patriotic!" lol

This was my favorite comment about clueless reading:

"Laurel and Manu salivate over this kind of thing. In every other respect the story is unsatisfactory, barely comprehensible and full of contradictions. (why would heaven have "horns" and a "tail"??) And why would anyone care if such a repulsive character gets to heaven or not anyway?"

I'm pretty sure my piece wasn't about heaven or hell so much as using those symbols as metaphors. But I learned something. This is the only story I got an "E" on, and it caused a ream of virulent comments, that still stand. Mostly in the "where's the sex, dammit?" variety.

I'd have to say a lot of them come from people just skimming. I mean, if you'd actually read it, pick on something that applies, please.

Don't do it, man. Your summaries will get reamed.

"I just read the story! Why do you think I need to hear about it again!"

LOL Nooo, not a summary of the whole story, just of the last few scenes. lol I'd kick my own ass if I summarizes my own story at the end of the story.

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

Maybe we should just totally confuse the trolls and write a story backwards...
