Holy shit...
I just looked at my member page "total reads."
Okay, so I knew that stories get read a lot more than poetry, and that controversial categories get read the most.
But, my most read poem has four hundred something reads, and my non-consent story has over sixteen thousand.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Risia......I know how I feel about it.............
I feel I should dig out that story I started.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the difference in stories/poems read!
Makes a poet wanna cry.......
If ANYONE reads a poem, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, at least take the extra 5 seconds to VOTE!!!

I don't know if you have noticed it nor not but...a lot of your poems on the Top List show my name as the author!!!! While I love seeing my name on the list so many times, I hate seeing my mentor getting slighted. You're awesome!
I need to go back to the list because there were other mistakes. One or two of MY poems had someone elses name on the list.
But that was last night. Maybe they've been corrected this morning before I came on.
I absolutely adore this new format.
Thanks Laurel and Manu for this fabulous revamp!

Such is the life of a poet!
It's a poetry thing. People like to read the extreme, bondage, non-consent... damn, my psychoanalyst wants me to bring in something! People read what they cannot have. No one knows that poetry is necessary in life.
Thusly, the so-called "perversions" like non-concent and incest will get more views.
I think the poetry section should be intergrated into the regular index. The fact that it says "Erotic Poems" makes its being under Poetry a bit redundant. Maybe we'd get more readership if we were held seperate to begin with.
My poetry fails to compare to yours, RisiaSkye, but my top views didn't break 150... stories (except today's) have broken into the thousands... one falling short of the class (lol) at 3100+ views.
I would love to write the "in" genre. I couldn't write Non-Consent or Incest. I admire those who can, even if I don't read their work.
Guess my point it, the popular genre will win. No matter how perverse it is. (And what we find perverse is all perspective.)
Poetry isn't appreciated much in this world.

We all know!
Stay on the soap box... or we could take turns! I didn't write erotic poetry until I was well into my 70+ poems.
Poetry, even erotic potry comes from the soul. How many souls can we really expect to connect with out there?
*sigh* I shall go to my chambers and lament now.

Re: Risia......I know how I feel about it.............
Many readers come to this site to either get very aroused, or even relieve their pent up desire while reading. It's hard for a poem to compete with stories. Especially when poems conjure up images of English class. My apologies to all the English majors
There are a few audio ones, however, that get a rise out of me.

Re: format
This is really weird. It may just be me. I can't access my profile. Not last night, nor all day today.
But, and try this, if you are logged in here. Got to your Control Panel. Hit the "Story Index" link right near the bottom. Don't try to sign in. Click "Submit". On this page click the link in the paragraph that says "this link" which normally take you to sign in. For me... it takes me to my profile. Only way I can get to it.
LOL Maybe it will be a good bug and work for everyone.

Greetings!
Greetings, fellow Literotica authors! I'm still fairly new as a LE author, but I already have four stories and five poems posted. I do like getting the information on number of views, although it pretty much confirms what I could infer from the number of votes. So far, my most popular story is "My First Gangbang" in the Group Sex section. My least popular is "A Christmas Tail" in the Humor & Satire section.
To tell you a little about myself, I've written both erotic and non-erotic stories and poems, mostly non-erotic. I only got into writing erotica in the last year. I'm a gay male and I'm working right now as a researcher (part-time).
Of course poems get read a lot less than stories-- any experienced poet knows that. You could tell it from the number of votes. For what its worth, the consolation is that with poetry, you generally (not always) reach a more intelligent and astute audience.
Anyway, my main reason for this post is to let you know that I'm willing to "trade" with any other LE author. If you'll read and vote on my story "My Second Gangbang" in the Group Sex section, I'll read and vote on one of your stories (or poems) of your choice. How you vote on my story is up to you. I just ask that you read it and give it your honest evaluation. I'll do the same with your story-- I may love it or hate it, or anything in between!

Calling on poets
Poets--
I'm willing to read and comment to your poems. I have two conditions, PLEASE return the favor and let me know up front if you want honest feedback. I neither praise or raise issues without an explanation. So if you're posting your most intimate, sacred feelings, let me know.
I'm not known for blowing sunshine.
Peace,
daughter
p.s. I don't see any stats or any other cool data in my profile
I only have one poem, a tanka posted in non-erotica. Anyone care to send me my first response?

Viewing Stats
The stats are only visible if you log in as if you were going to submit another story or edit your profile. They are not visible on the version of your member's page accessible to everyone.
note: |L|ast time I checked, the login link on the story index page wasn't working right, so log into the BB before you go to the storyindex page to login. I should then take you to your site profile control panel where the stats are visible.

Damn I think I sent it to soon!!!
Okay I am very very new here so please bare with me. First thing is about the poetry that is what brought me to this site and I love it! WriterDom has touched my soul in more ways with his words than any physical feeling i've had yet. So I thank all of you poets out there and urge you to keep going. After all we really write to satisfy our own needs right? For myself it is just a release and a way to express a darker side of my inner being. But it's a lotta fun to get others aroused a little lol. Now for the stats thing I'm so new I'm not sure where my stats are, maybe someone could explain the whole process to me? By the way I never not vote on what I read even if I give it a one and yes that does happen lol!!!
Thanks again for all your great work!

I read yours, now you read mine
OK, daughter, I bit. I read and voted on your poem about lilacs and lemons. And here's my critique: I liked it, although I was hardly overwhelmed by it. It creates a nice bittersweet mood, I think. And I don't know a lot about tankas, but my understanding is the second stanza is a reply to the first. One tip for you: if you want people to read your poem, it would help to include the link to it in your post.
Anyway, now I expect you to reciprocate, and read and vote on my poem, "Seven of Nine." I expect your honest opinion, good or bad.
Here's the link to it:

BTW, what are you known for blowing?
