Worst feedback you've ever received

[randallangdon]

I know that most of the authors that submit to Literotica spend hours and even days creating works of erotic literature. It's discouraging to get negative feedback after all that work. I'm just wondering from other authors what's the worst they've ever heard from one of their readers?

 

[lance gt]

When a reader told me that if I wrote another story, he'd hunt me down and kill me. Of course that was in the LW category, so it's self-explanatory. They either love you or hate you, so I guess it was the latter.

Yeah, I've gotten similar. There's a fine line involved with writing LW stories. There's a tipping point where the story is no longer erotic to some, but offensive. I know I've crossed that line before and have received some pretty harsh feedback for it. Some of my worst feedback has to do with my stories involving a guy watching his wife/girlfriend being seduced and/or her cheating. Either the story just sucks or it strikes a nerve.

I thihnk this one is my worst...

whose or what's next to join?

the goats, pigs, and grandma Jojo and grandpa Larry Flint? <p>

as one of the previous posters said, keep a taboo story taboo; don't mix it with orgies and gang bang and poodle shit and such! <p>

taboo stories are taboo, erotic, exciting BECAUSE they are, well, taboo, which if found out, can embarrass those who engage in them endlessly, deeply. <p>

but if you gonna write a story in which every family remember, including the dog and pig and goat and grandma and grandpa are happily fucking, like those cheap $5 porn DVDs,,,, WHERE IS THE thrill, the eroticism, the PROHIBITION and TABOO? None! Why not? Because they are unbelievable CHARACTERS having unbelievable sex all over, everywhere,,, <p>

hell, even if you use REAL humans, like those real porn people, there's no thrill, no eroticism, because all of them start and end the same way: the blonde screams fakely like a pig being killed, from beginning to end, with the big brother doing nothing but see-saw his thing in and out, in and out, in and out, every 30 seconds, putting in her her mouth, over and over and over,,, making one dizzy watching it more than a few minutes....

If they disliked it that much, why did they take so much time to provide feedback?

I guess I just answered my own question.

I got called a "goober gobbler" once. That was pretty special.

Did the name have anything to do with the story you wrote?

 

[Lisa Summers]

I've only gotten one, and it was a criticism (a fair point) of how the earth might conceivably be destroyed by the sun going nova. He/she was correct, it ain't gonna happen, but I NEEDED it to happen....so I won, though he/she was correct.

You mean you needed the nova to happen for your story? Sounds like an interesting story.

Looking at all of the positive ratings for all of your stories, I imagine most of your feedback is positive.

It's 'Along the Foamy Strand' if you're interested.

And it could use a "5"....hint, hint.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Come to think of it, my worst feedback was for my highest rated story (tied for it).

My worst rated story doesn't have any really bad feedback (only two people commented at all on it ).

Will definitely give it a read. I read chapter one of "Seduction of Lisa Summers" and enjoyed it.

 

[randallangdon]

I've received some pretty mean notes, but have also received some pretty constructive criticism that I have appreciated. I have noted that most of the really harsh feedback is written by those that have no submissions.

Isn't this a bit like calling someone a poopy-head, so far as the heirarchy of sophisticated insults?

Death threats for me AND my fictional characters.

 

[oggbashan]

Some of my femdom stories attract nutcases who are determined to assert their apparently threatened male superiority at any cost. They are so incensed that they can't even spell or use grammar.

Why they read those stories, particularly when they can see from the title, the description and the category that they will hate them, is beyond me.

My femdom stories are written tongue-in-cheek with implied consent from the one being dominated. They are sexual play-acting, not torture. But the senders of violent feedback imply that they prefer to abuse women physically and mentally for daring to criticise their man in any way...

not the worst, but possibly the weirdest - and pretty damn funny.

three email sent over a period of several hours; possibly as the chap in question got more out of it on mind-bending drugs.

email 1:


I can't understand your thinking. I was a real soldier , an airborne Ranger in Korea. I would not have watched. I would have acted. I would have kicked the hell out of the guy's and gave the wife her walking papers in what ever she was wearing. But you just wanted to write some porn Right? so you had hin crouch there like an idiot watching. If you are going to write a story then use some brains, which I doubt you have> I really think that you could have had him pull on his pud which must have been hard as nails...I don't want to get nasty but you are a wimp peice of shit

email 2:

Man...er wimp. I knew that you were a bunch of shit. You talk the talk but you walk like a little faggot panty waist. You haven't even got the courage to carry through. You didn't finish the story because you had already came ( little watery drops) by just thinking of the REVENGE. You suck...hey maybe you could get even by having them fuck your butt and suck them off with the wife. She's the only one with balls in the story cause your hero just didn't have any..of course I know this is because it..( see i can't even call it a man) IT comes out of that sewer you call a mind. Put it better that toilet that ypou call a mind. If you are so good at revenge then perhaps I should rape and kill your grandmother...you wouldn't do shit to me anyway. Hell you'ld probably want to suck my cock but i don't creeps put his slimy mouth on my jewels.

I'd like to read the stories these were in response to. These are pretty damned harsh.

What are these people trying to accomplish when they give you that kind of feedback? It's silly. Like you're going to give them your address or a time and a place. Idiots.

It would have been even funnier if it didn't, but yes.

Yes, like they've moved on from second to fifth grade.

 

[Surt]

"Assclown, noob, pg-13 sh*t," the pg-13 one, that one got me giggling, i even used his line in one of my stories; turning his negativity into positivity. My feedback has been limited as i chose to never turn on that comments page, if anyone is going to give feedback, they do it via email.

I once got some pretty damn bad feedback off some guy pretty much trying to make me pack it all in and, in his own words, "don't quit my dayjob," but that was, like, the best thing that could've happened to me, cause i pretty much sucked as i was making some real amateurish mistake which, i like to think, i cleaned up on, so in fact this guy helped me, which was the exact opposite of what he wanted to do.

 

[Katyusha]

I don't think I've ever gotten truly terrible feedback (I hardly get any feedback at all), but with the little that I've received, the worst was someone telling me one of my characters was obviously gay because he had commitment issues. Because only gay people have commitment issues, straight people never, ever, do.

 

[randallangdon]

Most of the angry stuff I get are aggressive dudes who are very, very angry at my female characters and/or weak males. It's really terrible how violent their imagery is.

Someone asked me why I felt it necessary to take the Lord's name in vain in my erotica.
