The praise issue.

[PrevertOne]

I've been recently receiving praise for my stories from a new reader, usually posting as Anonymous but signing his messages as Retired Army NCO. I'm tempted to respond with thanks, he's sending more than a few messages and going through my stories, which is much appreciated, but I'm hesitant. There was that issue last year with the . . . "character" and my Alice Amoeba stories that has since made me cautious about responding. It's just this guy likes my stories a lot and I'd like to thank him for reading but still . . .

I wouldn't respond to him directly.

What you could do on your next story is out in a note saying you'd like to thank all the readers who take the time to comment and support your work. Its generic, but its a shout out to him and your other fans.

I don't see a problem with responding in a comment. If you don't like how it goes, you just delete the relevant comments. "Hey, thanks" doesn't take long and lets you look like an ok sort.

Email is different. If I get even a hint of weird in a from-Lit email, I don't respond. If a conversation turns weird or I get a hint of under-18, I block.

There are definitely creepy people out there and I've had three contacts via literotica that I'd rather not have had. It does pay to mind your step.

Hey! That sig is mine (well actually it's Colonel Guano's by way of Stanley Kubrick). You're unique, a unique person; find a unique sig that kicks ass. Oh! And watch Dr. Strangelove, terrific movie. Great for sigs

I of course recognized it right away and I'm still laughing.
