My question is why do readers plough through stories when they hate the style? In Lit. and life, if I don't like the style of a story or book I abandon it rapidly. With Literotica it is not as if there were any lack of choice.
Recently I wrote an Aunt Sally, entitled My great aunt, Sally (Mature). I had been reading Henry James and became a little over enthused. It received comments that deservedly berated the excess of punctuation but it was an Aunt Sally, even the title included a tell-tale comma. Moreover, its overall score, 4.45 from 188 people, was not so far short of hot, so lots of readers must have found it to be quite acceptable. Why do readers persist in reading stories that irritate them?
P.S. I love adjectives and adverbs, 'the great, grey-green greasy Limpopo River,' says it all for me, I can visualise that river even though I have never seen it.
