Unexpected Reader Reactions

[Actingup]

Not really surprising but disappointing. Today anonymous (of course) gave low scores to some of my stories because they featured interracial sex. The "Wrong" kind in this troll's eyes: Black or biracial men with white women. It is the Twenty First Century, Right?

Rapidly heading towards the 14th century.

A reader recently told me I use too many words in my stories, and I thought, Wow, what an incredibly astute, insightful, and undeniably accurate observation that truly encapsulates the very essence of my writing style in a way that is both illuminating and, frankly, a little hurtful. But hey, if I wanted to be brief, I’d write grocery lists, not stories.

My newest story has some wonderful comments (and one from someone who just doesn't get it). Here they are, Flirting with the BNWO


A very special thank you to @MillieDynamite and @Voyboy.

Okay I think this probably counts as "unexpected reader reactions," the weirdest spread of score, favorites, comments, and views I have ever gotten



The middling rating doesn't super surprise me, the non-binary MC makes a joke about pronouns in the first paragraph so I sort of expected to pay a penalty for that

But the number of favs and comments for so few views is kinda wild to me!

I had a reader comment today on a story of mine from four years ago, accusing me of using AI to write it. The reader even went as far as to say "Shame" to me. It was pretty damn amusing, because I've never used AI to write a story and at that time I think barely even knew how to use it, if at all.

Menstruation in erotica is a controversial topic, some readers loving it and others hating it taking the 'No periods, period!' approach.

In some of my stories set many years ago where I have used periods as either erotica or as a plot device, I have received much positive feedback about female characters wearing the old-fashioned belted sanitary napkins, readers saying how hot this is and requesting more of this content.

I always found it a bit unusual that a form of feminine hygiene product that has been unavailable since the 1970s would gain such positive feedback, where in my stories set in more recent decades or the present day there were no comments about regular adhesive pads, tampons and reusable cloth period pads and how 'hot' the readers found them.

Was AI even a thing four years ago?

I think I had heard of it. I don't recall that it was in significant use, and certainly not by a mid-late adopter like me.

My latest chapter of Untethered Hearts series has the MC on her period. I'm not sure if the comments reflect your experience with respect to that or not, but one of the latest comments by 26thNC is - "This whore needs urgent psychiatric intervention."

I've had mixed reactions to periods in Loving Wives stories. The readers were outraged by one narrated by a pervert husband who gets off sniffing the period pads of his wife, the pretty girl next door who has two gay fathers, and the girl's quirky best friend. Conversely though, they thought it very funny in another story when the male detective narrating the story has to go to the supermarket and buy period pads for a hot but bitchy trophy wife under witness protection, but he can't find the type of napkins required and given there are lots of women and girls buying feminine hygiene products that morning, he winds up looking like a pervert.

I've noticed that readers are generally oblivious to dates.
