Well I think I better quit writing

[Bazzle]

According to a lovely reader.
My writing is the worst on Literotica. He has never seen such rubbish and other than talking to you guys on here, I shouldn't be writing.
"If your reason for doing this is because you think that your work is good, then you couldn’t be more wrong. The dashboard states that you’ve written 73 stories to pick up just 148 followers, which is two followers per piece. That tells the entire story. Your writing is rancid and there isn’t a single thing that you do well. No one’s going to be able to sit you down and coach you, it’s crystal clear that you’re not built for this."

I think I won't be receiving a Christmas card from him this year.

Or perhaps the reader should quit reading?

 

[TheRedChamber]

Your writing is rancid...

Don't worry. Your writing isn't rancid.

Sloshed, sooty, incontinent, and reeking certainly.

But not quite rancid. That's too far...

 

[Rob_Royale]

Wait, that can't be. I thought that @Lifestyle66 was the worst writer. I'm so confused now!

 

[summer_reine]

Ooooh the salt is strong with that one

This comment is giving me strong Billy Madison vibes. It should really have been finished with “I award you one star, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

The end of the comment gives me 10/100

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Well, the 10/100 is a dead giveaway. You have been Stacnash-ed.
You are not the first or the last AH-er to get her lovely and "insightful" comments. She does seem to have a preference for AH authors even though we are just a tiny part of Literotica's authorship.
For what it's worth, there are AH-ers that scored lower than you. It's a badge of honor of a sort these days. Wear yours with pride.

 

[SchnellFick]

Rofl. Got one too:

I'm done reading anything you write. Three submissions and you still write like an elementary school student. Did you graduate high-school?

Rofl, no. I am a German

Well, did you graduate die Hochschule then?

 

[SchnellFick]

Well, did you graduate die Hochschule then?

Yes, I did.

 

[Sappho_CGN]

I have an editor looking on my translations. Even then I got remarks that it is American English and that there are still some places which sound "European" it worked rather well.

I know from my professionell background how difficult it is for a non-native speaker to use a foreign language in a way that it is not obviously that it is not your mother-tongue.

Really, I would never publish a story in Englsih without having native.speaker checking it.

Oh...I'm not special

Why not? I do it all the time. This is a place for amateurs to post their stories, after all.
And to be honest, I've seen more than a few native speakers/authors here who don't seem to have a tenth of my knowledge about grammar and punctuation. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that passes the moderation and gets published here. Personally, I would have loved it if Laurel tightened her standards about grammar, punctuation, and story length. It would reduce the number of stories considerably but I do believe that less is more in this sense. But I don't mind it too much as long as people are enjoying their writing experience.

Slang and jargon? Yeah, that can be tough to nail, but as I said, this isn't a competition for some literary award for authenticity. It's just us amateurs writing our fantasies and having fun.

I actually like that. It's an unconventional dig, expressed with maximum contempt. And it reminds me that "rancid" is a BADLY underutilized word. I'll try to work it into something today!

Don't worry. Your writing isn't rancid.

Sloshed, sooty, incontinent, and reeking certainly.

Agreed. Lol. I like Bazzle's stuff.

 

[Trionyx]

Well, did you graduate die Hochschule then?

Oder Sind Sie auf dem Gymnasium gewesen?

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Personally, I don't listen to criticism from somebody I would not have asked for advice in the first place.

 

[Lifestyle66]

Wait, that can't be. I thought that @Lifestyle66 was the worst writer. I'm so confused now!

And I proudly stand by that assertion that I'm a shitty writer!

26thNC has even awarded me the "Third Level of Vile" for my work! (I'm now diligently working to achieve the fourth level.)

I've always believed that if I can't be the "best of the best", then I'll strive to be the best at the opposite end of the spectrum!

Ausgeseichnet!

YMMV. I note that @Omenainen seems to have no issue cursing in English like a native, but I suspect she's turned that into a cottage industry.

Yeah, dunno if it makes me cocky or what, but I’ve posted most of my stories without input from native English speakers, and I feel I’ve done alright. Also cursing comes naturally for Finnish people, it’s small talk and being polite we struggle with in any language.

I do not understand a word beside that someone can curse in English very well.

26thNC is one of the most prolific commentators, almost always on Loving Wives. He's been mentioned here before. He's been at it for years. It must be one of his hobbies.

Everybody gets a few comments like that, although that one seems more intense than usual. Using followers as a metric is a new one for me, and I've never seen somebody compare the number to the number of stories. I seem to have 1.5 followers per story, and that's been going on for six years now.

P.S.: I assume that comment was anonymous?

Nope it was named. I just didn't want to give them oxygen

I think whoever wrote that got so engrossed in one of your stories, they peed themselves. They got so aroused by the experience, they orgasmed and needed a cigarette to calm down, and they're blaming it all on you...
