What would be the ultimate compliment you could get as an author?

For me it would be one of three.

A) Your story made me stop and think.
B) I read your story then jumped my neighbor.
C) You are twisted and perverted but when I read********* I felt as though I was there with your characters.

As I still cling to a fantasy about one day getting paid for my writing, the ultimate complement would be a royalty check.
 
Currently, some one telling me my story got them off.

Money will be nice if it ever starts coming in.

I had an amazing post to you the other day regarding your question about 'stealing' stories. Lit was offline and I lost all sense of consciousness. Hm, Joe, moustache? Fidal you need a Cuban (cigar or chick)

You look younger and sexier clean shaven, not that you are not sexy. :devil: Just me - unless you have some facial hair design intrigue :D

Excuse me: An aside.

I think you'd look sexy with no sense of consciousness. Not that you aren't sexy when you're conscious, it's just that I'd feel less inhibited with you if you were comatose.

(BTW The moustache was a stick-on, they gave them out in the Mexican Restaurant where the photo was taken).

i've already received the highest compliment i can think of.

An author i respect VERY highly gave my halloween entry a five, despite the rather glaring errors that none of my editors caught until after it was posted. They're still in the text, but that's ok. i've learned.
 
I seriously doubt I could answer that without having heard the compliment itself first. One of those I'll know it when it happens deals, like I've heard about being in love.

Hey... psst.. Your story made me think that you're twisted and perverted...

:D
 
I've received some great ones in the past:

Someone started work on a sequel to a work of mine.

Someone translated a huge play of mine into another language.

Someone read it about 5,000 times and still liked it.

Someone said I wrote the first female character they ever hated. (Villain character)

Someone created a statue form of one of the scenes in one of my stories.

Someone looked at a story of mine five years later and commented on how much they still liked it.

All unsolicited.

I think comments like that are one of the things I live for as a writer.
 
I really liked this one..
oh wow! I came so hard I saw flashing spots! My pussy is a slick gushy mess that is still giving twitches. Damn you are good, Stella.
And then she went on for another two paragraphs!
If only she had a publishing contract for me... :rolleyes:

Don't think YOU'RE safe from those type of compliments either, dearie.

Oh but I am, I have to compete with such as Cloudy and Ogg to name but two.

Whose story??? Mine or sea's???

And if it was mine; (1) did you vote? (2) Did you pleasure yourself reading it? (3) Do you want to run north into my arms to act it out? :p

:D


(So are we all taking a break form God right now? Or did cat really kill the thread? lol)
 
oh dear...me finks me must refink my target demographic in order to get the any of the ^^ feedback.

I must say though, when one of the audio authors i idolised wrote to compliment me on a story (LOL not one of my audio ones, love the irony) i first went "oh!", then "fuck me!" then i can't remember because i keeled over and hit my head on the corner of the table. No that any of the other feedback and compliments were'nt special...everytime i receive one it blows my mind that someone took the time to read/listen , and enjoyed it enough to want to let you know...that in itself is so special....but when it's from someone you've Lit worshipped...
so yeah i wrote back like i was some star struck fan...and sh replied telling me t get a grip LOL

and mcopado? any time you want to compliment me on a story...please feel free to use that line ;-) ( :nana: LMAO)
 
...and does anyone else feel like they're taking confession when they read those feedback email..?

Like...i always wanted to fuck insert person but i ever had the courage to do it. although i've dreamt of insert deviant sexual act her/him ever since insert age. Thanks for your story!

The amount of unassuming sisters being lusted after..LOL
and next lifetime...DEFINITELY coming back as a teacher...

The thread hasn't moved in almost 48 hours. I think it has died a slow and grisly death. (And it was getting oh so interesting. :cool: )
