Not Quite the Brady Bunch

Good start. . .

Now on to Chapter two, please.

"Who's Janna?"

That was the first comment I received. I was working on two stories at once, and I inadvertently used the name of the main female character of story 2 in the middle of story 1, which was published a few days before number 2. A few readers caught it and let me know about it.

It was an inauspicious beginning.

 

[M_K_Babalon]

It wasn't very nice, and that's more than I wanna remember about it.

 

[MissRoberta]

This person was so nice! Thankfully, the first few comments I received were all very sweet, and I was so happy people wanted more.

 

[AchtungNight]

I don’t remember my first comment on Lit. My first comment on AO3 was someone calling The Rendezvous “the best fanfic they’d ever read, hands down.” Nice to have such a review 17 years after my first publication of that epic lesbian polyamory tale.

 

[Marielani]

I rarely comment on a story. But there are some that just deserve that 4 or 5 star..

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

I believe this was the very first comment I received, referring to a conversation over science fiction authors. I knew Moon is a Harsh Mistress was written by Heinlein, ok?! It was the typo gremlins, I swear.
That comment haunted me for a while.

 

[Kelliezgirl]

From anon:
And ? Like, where's part 2? 5 stars

I took that as a good sign.

@Migbird was my first comment and first follower. His comments and support were a big part of me continuing with my Lit endeavours after my first tenacious effort.

Very interesting and quietly sensual. Looking forward to where you will take this storyline/your two characters/us. Like Chanel a bit on edge. Nicely done.

He's generally been first to comment on my submissions and has even helped with creative input once or twice. A nice guy and certainly instrumental in my writing career here, such as it is.

Rather proud of this...its gone downhill ever since

 

[Trionyx]

My first two comments were nice but I am most proud of the third:

Maonaigh
A five-star debut
I don't know if you've ever written before but this is a very good little story with a very snappy twist at the end. I certainly didn't see it coming. Congratulations.

Jared, Jennifer and Me

From my very first story, over 5 years ago, on the first entry in my Duchess of Lust series:

Absolutely outstanding!
Exceptionally well written and not merely a story of deprived sex but a true epic tale. This would make a terrific novel. Perhaps a bit of editing here and there for some minor typos but good grief this was a thrilling read. Will favorite this to read again and again. As a woman I give this 10 thumbs up!

To me that's the best sort of comment to receive. Praise and compliments, but also with actionable feedback. I've since tried much harder in the editing/proofreading steps to weed out those sorts of typos.

I was certain my first story was going to bomb or get lost in the deluge of New, but moments after All for You went live it got this:

Love it!!
by Anonymous user on 02/15/2017
Oh my god. I love the story. Great job. Sequel?

Thus sparked the delusion that I might have some ability to write after all.

My first comment was on this story 5 1/2 years after it was published:

My first comment was on this story 5 1/2 years after it was published:

I'm picturing the commentator reading one sentence a day as some kind of tantric tease.

 

[samhasstories]

Pretty straightforward comment from the ever-active Anonymous, still appreciated:

Can’t wait for part two

I think your ideas are really good, but you're let down by your writing. Sorry for being so critical.

What I mean is that you repeat words. Perfect and perfect, for example. So you could read Stephen King's 'on writing' and maybe some others. They'll add tension, release and variety to your stories, which is only going to make them better.

But I think the ideas are great! Fancy going somewhere private, to play out a fantasy and there's your boss! Dynamite!

This was fun. I think this may be the only review I ever got where the content was praised and the writing was panned. It's almost always the reverse, "You right really well, but you need more character/plot."

Anyway. It's good I have a tough skin because I'm glad I didn't try to change my writing style.

Note: Early in the story my MC mused about his life, "perfect.... perfect..." Tongue in cheek and then mused about his "modesty." At the end of the story he muses about how "perfect" it is, and it really is.

 

[AG31]

So I'm the only one whose first comment was crap? Or am I the only one who stuck around to write more?

Mine was crap. (See post here.) And here I am, ten stories later.

I think that makes three of us in this whole thread.

On another website, a long time ago, when I posted my first story, I got the following comment.

"If you ever learn basic grammar, sentence structure, and momentum and pacing, you might become an adequate writer."

Not a good writer, not a great writer, but adequate. Well, I think I'm adequate now. Though, I don't think that story was all that bad.

 

[yowser]

"A" for effort, but two stars for the story.

Things have improved since then.

The first comment on my first story posted to Loving Wives in Feb 2021: "HE MISSED YOU – (750 WORD PROJECT)" (750 words of my wife's return from a business trip.)

Another great little tale about a loving wife and husband...with not a slut or cuckold in sight! Thank you for this. Hope you submit more in the future

Since then, most other comments have gone downhill!

Brilliant first effort! More please! It kept me stiff the whole time. Great build-up, satisfactory sex scenes.
