What, again? will the Ego ever be placated?

[NoJo]

I feel that my latest story, Cindy Heller (Chapter One) is very much an autobiography.
Like my life, it makes other people laugh , it's a bit too long, and contains nowhere near enough sex.

I poured my heart out writing it, and those BASTARDS put it in Humor and Satire!

Please let me know if you were moved enough to want me to post Chapter 2.

Joe,

What a fucking surreal send-up. Your ego needs crushing not massaging - it was great I am in tears!

I love this story!!

It's so hard to write something humorous AND good. I have read a few stories in that section. Most are humorous and good. The problem is the bits that are good often aren't that humorous and bits that are humorous often aren't all that good.

I really enjoyed your wit and wicked sense of fun from start to finish. Please ...I want more!!

To the bastards who put this story in the humor and satire section, I'm going to have to be bitch and say keep it there.

Have a great day,

Alex (fem)

"I feel that my latest story, Cindy Heller (Chapter One) is very much an autobiography."

No problem. Just tell me, which ugly step-sister are you, Kimberlee or Symphonee, or was that you disguised as, Mitchell Goldfarb, her fairy godfather from public relations?

Whatever, your blackmail worked. The Lit vote is a sacred institution which we all should cherish and protect. While some abuse this priviledge, I've got my principles-which I have little hesitation about discarding often and easily. So I'll give CH chapter one a five in exchange for chapter two. (Or was that two to one I'll take the fifth and file for chapter eleven?) And if you should happen to welch on this deal, some of big Marty's friends might pay you a visit to..., well, you get the message.

The Final Chapter of Cindy Heller is available on lit.com, if you feel in need of some light relief.

Thanks everyone who voted to make Chapter 1 top of the Humor and Satire ratings (even though I was pretty underhand in eliciting those votes!)

Joe.

yeah ok, I think I'll post after I get over this feeling of speechlessness and when I can see the screen better. Tears, running down my face...

Cindy Heller

Oh, Joe...I couldn't stop laughing. It's in the right category, and I'm SO glad you pointed it out. THANK YOU for a wonderfully delicious experience this morning.

 

[NoJo]

Thanks, Damp, LadyP

Wow, Coming from you two, I'm flattered! -- I was a little worried the humor was a little too smart-alec for some people's taste -- so I'm really pleased.

By the way Damp, I love the AV -- I dreamed I went there once!

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

A fun, imaginative read, Joe, for which I have only one minor quibble. Call me concrete. Call me literal minded. Call me compulsive. I'll answer to any of those. However, I do believe it was Phillip Roth who wrote "Portnoy's Complaint" (the novel I assume the, "Portnoy's Gambit," alluded to), not the late, great Joe (Catch 22) Heller.

Oops, thanks for that, RF!!

That was a good spot! I'm resubmitting it right now -- that kind of thing really puts me off when I read it in someone elses story, but ANNOYS THE HELL out of me in my own story!

Joe

 

[damppanties]

Of course!!!

That's easy. Its Phil Charming.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

You walk into the playground, and instead of sitting with the other grownups, you get in the sandbox with the rest of us and start making a scale model of London.

I was proud of my two-towered castle before you made a working model of Big Ben with wood splinters and a discarded condom.

The duct tape part was totally unbelievable. What kind of sick bastard would take advantage of a woman in such a helpless and degrading position?

You scoff? I'll have you know that I am totally nude at this very moment, and have your vile tape securing most of my body. That's why I'm typing so slowly (one handed). My friend, a gentleman I might add, will soon enter. He will ignore the extra strips I've left conveniently tacked nearby, and free me. This will prove, beyond a shadow of a…

What the f…, mmffurf, …

I'm back. Okay, I'll take back the part about the duct tape. But I stand by the rest of it.

I read The Witch of the Lock. That one would have been good even if you'd left out the sex. Can people still take those trips you describe?

A Romance: Shutdown & Restart captured a lot of the cultural differences between Brit's and La-la landers. I would have spent most of my story yelling; “look at this, look at that.” You just used it as underpinning, adding depth to your characters. Skillful stuff.

I freaked when I read Revenge. All the details are different, but I've been trying to get that story written for almost a month. Your version is a lot better than what I have, but it didn't strike me as being as strong as some of your others. I haven't been able to put my finger on why.
