Fun topic! I'm sure you'll get some good reponses. For me, it was 'Crapshooting', in which I took a wife-swapping story in Loving Wives to its logical extreme (or so I thought) by having the wives compete to get pregnant first and thereby potentially win the stud who had provided the sperm involved from the other wife permanently. Now, obviously that was going to be a batshit crazy concept to some of the readers, and I expected that. And, regardless of what they thought of the concept, many readers loved how ridiculous it was and took it with a dash of humour. 30K viewers, 59 comments, and a reasonable score for Loving Wives of 3.93. What I didn't expect was that some of the readers were unable to separate the author from the story, or understand why I would write such a story if I didn't endorse the idea. The guys in particular in the story were written as idiots in suits, being led by their dicks. And some of the comments reflected that! But it was still fun.

Did it affect me? Not so much: I still write the odd controversial story and accept that readers will express themselves, as is their right. I only delete abusive comments: for that story, there were a few, including directed at other readers, and I don't have any tolerance for that. I probably hardened up on that policy through the experience.

Mine was
https://www.literotica.com/s/a-btb-carnage-disaster
It is a story about a husband who mistakenly believed his wife cheated, and when he goes for retribution things go awry. It was the first time I deleted extremely hateful ad hominem attacks on me, my wife, and my progeny both through regular comments an DMs. I primarily deleted the hateful comments, almost all of them anonymous, because I decided why give the poster a public venue for their vitriol on my space. It was also a loving wives story, a genre noted for vociferous factions

I don't tend to get negative comments as much as I do votes per se. I got some scathing feedback on Interruption, a straitjacket bondage story, though I attribute this to struggling to find the right category for it. I actually found the feedback kind of funny, like I was getting roasted.

I have a story or two with very positive feedback and trash ratings, can't figure that one out. Lol.

 

[Milo_Grigsby]

Without a doubt it was Crossing the Rubicon, a story of a mature wife who, after failing to talk her husband of many years into swinging, informs him that she is going out to have sex with another man. In retrospect I do think some of the comments were well founded in that the husband's reaction was emotionally overwrought, but the hatefulness of some of them really messed me up until I figured out the nature of the LW section. I am now aware that any story involving infidelity/cuckoldry where the unfaithful partner (most typically women) doesn't suffer a terrible consequence gets hate bombed and low rated. At this point that kind of amuses me so I wrote something recently that pokes a little fun at that. The Barstool Chronicles.

 

[bmeyem8]

It is absolutely bizarre that in my story, in the loving wives section , it is about a husband who mistakenly believes his wife cheated and when he seeks to kill an innocent man (the supposed paramour) he himself ends up getting shot while the non-paramour looks like the hero . Even the wife is unjustly BTB'd. Yet the BTB faction had an meltdown because the deranged husband who tried to murder an innocent man did not get his BTB and got himself punushed unead. Makes zero sense.

 

[bmeyem8]

Punished, not ...well you saw it. My tying on a phone is fraught with errors compounded by inaccurate proofreading.

I went back to look, and I have no purely negative comments. But I don't have very many comments at all. Only one or two out of 11 stories since last August, and the total number of comments per story ranges from 1 to 10.

I haven't published since October of '23, and voters hasn't change but by 1 or 2 in a couple of stories since August. I guess when you stop publishing, people stop reading.

Note. I don't think an absence of negative comments is necessarily a good thing. Negative comments often mean your story packs a punch and gets some people where they'd rather not be gotten.

P.S. In doing my little survey, I noticed some oddities in publication dates. Are we quite sure submitting an edit doesn't change the publication date?

This is an easy one for me. BTB, Incorporated, was my third story, published only a few weeks after my first story, back in January 2017, and it was an attempt to spoof and tweak the Loving Wives "Burn the Bitch" type story.

I expected some pushback, but was not quite prepared for the torrent of venom that followed. The comments were SO negative that they were funny. Like, "Here, eat my condom." "UTTER TRASH." "Just fucking stupid." "What a load of shit." But I got a lot of positive feedback, too, from people who got the joke and enjoyed it.

As of today, almost 9 years after publication, that story has a score of only 3.72, but it has over 101,000 views and plenty of favorites and positive comments. That story taught me that scores don't matter that much, and that you can get a lot of enjoyment from publication even if the score isn't high and you get some savagely negative comments.

"Here, eat my condom."

I would wear that comment like a badge of honor

 

[SyleusSnow]

My stories don't get much hate. Except for Back to Where It Almost Began

It's a sweet story about reconnecting with a high school crush, but there's a fun (I thought) scene with a dragon dong dildo and a threat of pegging. But no pegging actually takes place.

It was published in Romance and hoo boy... do not even mention anal sex in Romance. Some readers felt personally attacked. The comments are... something.

Didn't affect my writing, though. And taught me about reader expectation in that category.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

A 750-word story I wrote in about an hour, but not because of its quality - it's not bad. But I called it Denying Alex, thinking only of the football sense of 'deny', as in doesn't get, but it was interpreted as a horrible bitch prevents man from getting sex, she deserves to die, etc. Just because she shags someone else.

It's the only story I've deleted comments from, I think. Only the worst - 'the author is the real piece of shit' is still there, for example.

I've thought slightly more about my titles and descriptions since then, but also posted some stories knowing some readers aren't going to like them.

 

[MillieDynamite]

A cuckold story brought a ton of hateful comments about me being a cheating wife, whore, and abuser of men. I stopped publishing in LW. Problem solved.

Any husband thats would treat his wife this way needs to be dropped into a barrel of acid. Same for any person who would write this kind of crap.


It didn't affect my writing or publishing at all. I wrote what I wanted to write and will continue to do so.

The old acid bath trope.

Are people that write stories for Loving Wives all masochists?

 

[MillieDynamite]

I don't think it's an actual requirement, but it certainly helps.

[m_and_em_stories]

I published my first story in loving wives. It was not a BTB story, and it involved the husband going down on his wife after she had sex with another man. It was tagged appropriately but almost every comment was some straight man pissed about the 'gay shit', or mad over the cheating wife (it wasn't cheating) or upset the husband wasn't mad (he got his too).

They really seem to have a specific narrow idea of what they want in that category and get very upset when a new story doesn't match that.

 

[Erozetta]

I am, but it neither encourages or discourages my interest in posting to LW. If that's where the story fits, that's where it goes.

 

[bmeyem8]

I left some of the most offensive comments in place just to show the horrific nature of them Same holds for comments in my otjrr stories

Which story of yours got you the most hateful comments? Did it affect you or your writing or publishing?

I don't receive many negative comments on my stories because of the genres I choose to write in. However, I did get more than a dozen e-mails/DM's (from AH authors) telling me I shouldn't be here. They began with Maggie's Gift, back in 2009 and continued for many years.

 

[MalDufleurs]

I recently posted a story called Sharing Penny in Loving Wives. It was a fairly accurate description of my wife and my first swinging adventure and it was about a couple who love each other inviting in a guy for some wife sharing fun. And wow it made some people cross. It felt like there was a group of readers for whom this scenario was impossible to comprehend, resulting in screams of “Cuck!” “Bitch” etc. Honestly it was quite sad.
