Thoughts About Lit Readers

I seem to recall...

This WAS a thread about readers. :-(

A "cunt faggot" is what I was in college.

It's a guy that's still deep in the closet, eats his beard girlfriend's pussy for hours on end, and then takes her home early enough to be able to hit the gay bar and pick up what he really wants for the rest of the night.

You asked!

i never went to college, so i can't possibly be a cunt faggot.

should it be hyphenated - as in cunt-faggot?

And it was interesting when it was. But devolution into hissy fits seems to be kind of inevitable.......

Thanks for the information.

I ain't seen no hissy fits. Just good old fashion diss-cussin.

I have 4 or 5 LIT accounts for my stories. In the beginning I wanted to see how toxic JAMESBJOHNSON is, now I use the accounts to sort categories. Incest goes one place, loving wives someplace else, erotic horror yet another place.

JAMESBJOHNSON comes with a quarter point penalty, because most of you are pitiful pathetic losers who ambush from the dark, our fags and fag-hags mostly, but I digress. Readers don't like stories with incidental sex, they want stories where sex is numero uno, and anything else is like punctuation. Don't write stories where people have lives and causes, and they fuck after work. Focus your laser on the deed.

High score LIT stories remind me of porn from the 70s where the lonely Maytag guy comes to the house and unclogs mom's drain.

I don't entirely agree with you. I consider myself to be the writer of the dirtiest stories on the site, and most of them do alright, but some of my highest ranked are soppy romances. Donna and Kevin is a god example and there are others with plot and character development that also do reasonable well.

What I consider to be one of my best bits of creative writing (https://www.literotica.com/s/the-kitchen-table-2) has my lowest reader score. By a margin. Oh, well.

That's what makes Lit work. The ability to do more than just "write smut" and develop a large fan base in the process. My first dozen stories from six years ago were one off strokers and they did okay...red H's or just under the magical 4.50, great hit numbers, decent amount of comments and votes, and still get new reads today. But then I tripped over what was becoming the expectation of the most rabid fans: romances that are character centric. I like to call them "Gay Harlequins on Viagra." That's my concentration now and it works for me and my followers.

All of my highest ranked are sloppy kiss romantic...and the GM readers eat them up. Of course I include the expected hot sex scenes, but it's obvious from the comments and emails, the fans WANT the romance to be the number one plot driver, followed closely by characters they can fall in love with too. The sex becomes simply the window dressing. In fact, my highest rated story that's in the top 40 of the All Time HOF, is all about death and a funeral with NO sex other than a frottage scene.

I think sometimes too many authors here intentionally limit their writing to "just smut" and don't realize how they are hurting themselves in the process. Sure some people come here just to get off, but there is also a large contingency of readers that come to Lit for more than just a dirty bookstore quickie jerk.

JMNSHO and YMMV.
