The most frustrating thing about Anonymous feedback is...

[angela146]

Not being able to say, "Thank You".

 

[BlackSnake]

Responding to requests...

 

[Guest]

Not being able to say, "Thank You".

Precisely!

Some of my best feedback has been from those who wish to remain anonymous.

Some of the most peculiar has, too, but hey!

For me the most frustrating thing is when the reader is upset with something that they mis read or mis interpreted and you can't explain.

It's not overly frustrating but a little stupid that in nearly every single anonymous feedback letter I've received...they've asked a question.

When's the next story?
Are these people real?
Do you have experience with...?
Is that a true story?

Wonder if they expect an answer and think I'm a bitch for not responding.

Exactly, Lime!

"The slutty wife in your Loving Wife-story CHEATED on her husband!!!"

What don't like is when people send me feedback that merely says "I liked your story, it was very sexy", and I'm sitting tere, thinking "OK, that's nice to hear, but I've got 80 stories on Lit - which one are you referring to???"

Exactly my problem too. I've gotten very specific questions about my stuff sometimes...

Can I put this poem on my homepage?
What do you think of this idea for a sequel?
Do you have a website?

And I've been hit on anonymously. I hope I didn't break that guys heart by notr responding.

The anon stuff lately has contributed greatly to my writers block. I recieved a crap load of it and simply didn't know how to digest some of it. I know I know we all tell ourselves tones of stuff to help block out the idiots but some just was alittle too personal.

Hopefully... I am back on track now... but I am still shaken.

For me Anonymous feedback is more often than not really good and i'd love to send a Thank you to the person who sent it

 

[pixiesjuice]

gotta love the feedback from anonymous.... that's signed from

Laura and fkn Lisa.


I had one truly anonymous feedback once, it was full of great advice and I would have loved the chance to thank the person. The best i could do was to make a 'thank you' posting on the story feedback board and hope that the person read it.

The most annoying thing about half the anon feedback is not knowing which f**ker to strangle.

I just received a anon feedback today concerning my WIP. The person was eager to read it when it was ready, and was worked up by the tease that I was more than halfway through my draft. They were wondering why I don't 'simply' go ahead an post what I have done and allow for that those chapter's feedback to help mold the result.

That isn't how I work though. As a novice, my work needs lots of refining before I can be happy with posting it - and even then it's still sub-par with the quality works out there.

I am, however, more than willing to send out drafts for those interested on giving development feedback. Unfortunately, I can't hunt down Anonymous and ask if they'd like to be added to the list. Oh well.

The most frustrating thing about anonymous feedback is the need to remain anonymous so that you people won't get all mad and stuff. Plus, if it's a clever insult, I want some recognition, dammit! And yet I can't have any. Do you writers think it's easy, posting one zinger after another, even if I actually liked the story? Not being able to say so? Like hell it is.

Anonymity deserves a lot more respect than it gets, and it's about time someone spoke out about this.

So far, I've never been hurt by anonymous feedback. The very few painful messages I've gotten have all been attributed.

The only time I get mad an anon poster is when I can't share thoughts back and forth or when he looks really cute and I want to flirt.

Usually the problem is just frustration at not being able to say "thank you".

I'm really surprised that people bother to say ugly things, really. I've gotten it into my head that most readers are so stinking lazy that even clicking in the vote box and clicking submit is too much effort, that I can't imagine them taking the time to write something derrogatory. I just find it odd, but admit I'd be pleased to receive any and all feedback people had...good, bad or ugly. Hopefully I'd be able to pull something constructive out of it. If not, I have this great little red X on my screen that's about as satisfying as ugly anon comments. It's called DELETE.

But it was pointed out to me by a friend, tonight, that it's really only pertinent to write what you like and be happy enough with it to let anon's ugly words roll off your back. If people don't like it then shouldn't they be reminded that they didn't pay a red cent to read it? (Additionally, most of us aren't making a dime writing it either.) My main request, to the people that bother to write anything negative, would be that they put in suggestions for making it better rather than simply bitching about personal grievances.

I don't take a c.d. back to the store or send a nasty message to the artist who created it, if I don't like it. And in that case I'm out fifteen bucks. That, I could complain about. A story that didn't keep entirely with the category? Condom use? Unsavory scenes? C'mon. If you didn't like something, so be it, great, let me know. But if you truly expect anything to change then A) come out of hiding (sher) or B) give me something to work with.

Sorry for the rant...I didn't see it coming either.

 

[smutpen]

With only one story to my name, so far, I may not be a good judge.

But right now, I wish I could thank them.

Especially the one who said,

"You got me good and wet."


The thought that I may be responsible for wet pussies all over the world causes my, er, heart to swell...

 

[shereads]

When I first discovered Literotica, I was so new to porn - and felt so out of place and embarrassed by just being here - that I did post one anonymous compliment. It occurred to me right after I sent it how silly that was - I'm using a log-in name, so it's anonymous whether I identify myself or not. So...to the one who got that anonymous message from a new and deeply embarrassed reader back in June, that was me.



See? It's still anonymous! But damn, it feels good to be slightly less paranoid about reading dirty stories than I did last summer. Next step? Ending my virginity!
