Hey Guys, we know that the voting system is dubious and a lot of really good fiction and authors are being passed over. For those like me who don't know, who are the best writers and what are their best stories on the site?

Please don't nominate yourself, just name the author, leave a link, and state why you think the writing is indicative of an AUTHOR'S AUTHOR.

Have fun!

Nessus

It's not like Nessus needs any more pump but I have to say that The Famous Blue Raincoat is an exceptional story. Although it has a plot right out of a bad Zalman King movie I really cared about the characters and was half-wrong in trying to guess how it ended.

Even though everybody has probably already read it, you can find it here http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=20270.

And if you like the song Chelsea Hotel, check out Lloyd Cole's version. One of the best Cohen renditions.
 
Shannon Tweed and Julie Strain? Really, really just kidding.
 
Two of my favorites on Literotica are Nessus and Littlemissblair.
 
I was impressed with KillerMuffin, especially the story "An Acidic Tiger", (which I did not find the least bit erotic, but painfully real and exceptionally well-done)
 
Garsh, ya'll are making me blush. Of course, I'll get over it and I will be impossible to live with for a while. :) Thank you.

Madame Pandora is one of my favorite authors. She writes, well, beautifully. http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=7459




lovetoread, if you come across a story you didn't like due to mistakes, the best way to mention it to the author is to send the dreaded anonymous feedback. Tell them something about the story that was good and then tell them what you didn't like. Don't start a sentence with the word "you" so you don't instantly put them on the defensive. It's called constructive criticism and it's wonderful. It's NOT negative feedback. Of course, not all authors agree with me. Most probably don't but that's another thread.
 
ell I am starting to expect it, Her Muyffiness has produced yet another winner. I love read most of the stories that she writes.
 
Thanks

I will follow this advice. I am always afraid,since I dont write myself,that I will say the wrong thing and discourage someone,which I would never want to do. :( Especailly someone that has only a story or two up for reading.
 
lovetoread --

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it -- I would rather have someone carve me a new one than give me false praise. Don't worry about sending 'negative' feedback, please! If an author can't handle it, there's a handy delete button to push. I don't think I'm in the minority. Most people who want feedback DO want to hear the negative along with the good. They just don't want to be called names. or have suggestions on what to do with certain portions of their anatomies. ;)

And, if you're a reader, then we certainly want to hear from you! You know what you like and what you don't, and you aren't encumbered by the rules and regulations of writing. It's great to hear from someone who doesn't actually write! That's how we find new and innovative directions to move with the stories!

Hey Miss V,

The only reason I didn't mention Emily's Attic is that I didn't want to give you an unfair advantage in the Halloween contest. Everyone else was already talking about it. By far it is the best in that strange category of incest.

But just as a side note,what is the appropriate way to tell the writer that the story was not written well,had too many errors,or just didnt make any sense?

Just email me. One thing about Literotica that I love now is being able to edit a story. So is feedback points out a spelling error or a possible verb confusion, then I can fix it. IF I see it too. :)
 
Hmmm, there are so many authors that I like here.

I think I'm going to throw a wrench in here and talk about someone who is not on Lit. The author I read the most before I started writing was named The Warthog. He's fairly prolific on the 'net, and I think his series' are called the Gang Bang Virgin series, the Slut Housewife series andthe Company Trip series (it's been a while since I read him).

Something about his work really got to me, although in retrospect they were all very similar - he seemed to have a fascination with women having unprotected sex and possibly getting pregnant and not knowing who the father was.

I've gone back to read some of his stories since I started writing and I still like them, although they are significantly different than the stuff I write.
 
The Famos Blue Raincoat is a classic story, not only for romantic lesbians. It made me cry as well as horny - big plus 4 that.:)

Mickie--

And may I add that when I have honestly shared with an author who took criticism about his/her writing personally, I make a mental note to either find another approach to commenting to him/her or not to comment to the author again. Critics don't like getting thier heads chopped off either. :(

I wonder if those who get upset consider that the critic wrote out of geniuen interest in his work? Am I weird in thinking that someone is commenting on my writing and not attacking me personally? As long as the critic is talking about the writing, I suck it up and give her feedback some consideration.

Praise is nice for the ego. 'Negative', valid feedback will help me grow.

Peace,

daughter

Perpetual Orgy

I'll have to check out more of Nessus and KillerMuffin-- so far I've only read a little of their stuff. And I do plan to read your Satyr stories, Marxist, although I haven't yet. I've read several stories I've liked to various degrees on LE, and a number of stories I thought were just mundane porn. But the story I've been impressed the most by is "A New Life in Perpetual Orgy," by NemesisGB. It's near the top of the toplist for the whole site, as well the top of the groupsex toplist, so I won't bother including a link. You should be able to find it pretty easily, if you haven't already read it. I can understand why the story is so popular-- after all, it depicts a fantasy near and dear to almost any man's heart-- one man "getting it on" with several women. (And let's face it-- the audience for porn and "erotica" is mainly composed of middle-aged men). But there's more to it than that. True, the characters aren't particularly deep, but neither are they one-dimensional and wooden either. The story is well-written and well-constructed. It follows the tried and true formula of starting off fairly tame, and with some (but not too much) buildup, but progressively getting hotter and ending up quite wild. And there is a touch of realism to the fantasy: Cameron's mean old landlady. From a practical point of view, the story is long enough to give the reader plenty of time to get off, but not so long that it becomes tedious. (And if the reader cums about halfway through, he probably won't finish the story . . .)
:p
