I'm Pissed! How Many Are You?

This is the latest reponse to my story:

Far too many non-sexual words in the way of an otherwise sexy story! Remember, with erotica, less is MORE!

Non-sexual words are called a plot! They give a story depth, not the minimum length of some imaginary cock!

Why do I waste my life writing for these self-deprecating dicks? Maybe I shouldn't be at all.

You have got to be kidding!!! I totally agree with the commentator! Too many words get in the way of the action. How do you expect to keep it up (so to speak) if you have to wade through non-coitus conversation and background crap! C'mon, good erotica is lean; anything that doesn't move the action toward sex every few paragraphs is superfluous and irrelevant. Of course, sometimes plot has to be forced in order to set the stage for the sex scenes. At times, one even has to have the tightest editing reach this goal. Like this: I was hard. She was wet. We fucked. <- see how hot that is? AS, I'm surprised at you!!!!!!

One trick might be to start your stories with an explicit hot scene to let readers know that the story will indeed have some hot content. That way, they're appeased a little bit and can sit through a stretch of plot without any graohic sex scenes, but they'll know that the juicy stuff is on its way. In other words, add a few early tidbits here and there, even if it's just foreshadowing.

Unfortunately, there are some people who just want the bam-bam-thank-you-ma'am cliches and skim through the rest. There are "stories" for them too.

LOL... You write incest/taboo stories and expect readers to be happy they're reading plot? Sorry, seems a little incogruous to me.

Sorry, I'm just following WE around. Pay no attention to my giggles.

You'd be surprised; many incest reader want some romance out of it. It's not a purely sexual subject, it raises lots of hard question. What will happen to our familial relationship if I make a move? How will the person react? Will we have to spend our whole life in hiding? If it's found out how will the rest of the family react? Are we really in love or is it something else? Is this wrong?

These are some of the questions, and I think many people into incest like to read stories dealing with these issues. It is a big part of what the taboo is about.

 

[NDorado]

I totally agree with Lalah! But I admit, I like the juicy parts too.

Asylum Seeker, for what it's worth, in my opinion, I love your stories and writing style, so keep it up. You can't please everyone.

 

[caprine]

Remember...

(1) You can please some of the readers all of the time; all of the readers some of the time, but you can never please all of the readers all of the time. (2) People criticise anyone and anything, especially those who know the least about which they speak and they often speak the loudest of all.

I am now seriously confused...

Some people seem to want actual stories, with plots and character development and others just want sex scenes. I tried writing a story that started off sexually and ended sexually and the serious feedback was that it lacked literary form. Now I'm reading that form doesn't matter so long as the content is all sexual?????Make up your minds dammit!!!!

Why would you want them all to settle on one thing they wanted? That's a "good" thing about a story site as broadly based and with a huge reader base--the variety. The problem comes when a reader expects all stories to serve his/her particular interests and/or when a writer expects all readers to be happily served by each and every on of her/his stories. These things are not going to happen here. So, it's something to celebrate and tolerate; whining about it isn't going to get anyone anywhere. It just "is."

 

[litchipking]

Just like you said

You said it yourself: "Some people seem to want actual stories, with plots and character development and others just want sex scenes."

With that in mind, there is no way you can please every reader. Just as one reader loves Harry Potter and another thinks it's trash.

You have to write the story you want to write. Do you enjoy erotic stories with engaging characters and in-depth plot lines or do you like "action". Or maybe you want to do both?

Personally (if it's a short story), I like a little character development, some clever writing and imagery, and a few really hot sex scenes. But that's just me. I'll give that story a five while the next reader may vote two.

*****

My comment on your story "The Boy": I enjoyed the idea but would have liked to have a little more depth behind the characters. I find that when I like, hate, care, feel about a character that the sex is hotter. Just my opinion. Do keep writing.

I haven't read your stories , at least i don't think i have, but i agree with you. There are some readers who just want to read the story so they can get off, then there are writers, who read the stories and understand 'big words' and find the build up and plot just as arousing. I don't write for literotica mainly because of that. But if i did, i would remind myself that i can't please everyone and try to just write a good story. Maybe every section should have two sub categories... one titled 'quicky' and the other 'novella' or something. But if you look at the stories with the most votes or most views aren't they usually the longer ones? I'll have to go check that.

To each his own, write for you, etc...

Hey, I'm fairly new here... I've gotten blasted for the stories I've posted, but also some kind words. The prevailing theme of the feedback I've gotten is "SLOW DOWN". Don't be so quick to get to the fucking.

But that is not what my stories are about. It really boils down to "erotica vs. porn". My stories are porn, plain and simple. I'm also proud of the fact. I try to find new ways to describe the act or acts. If you can see it playing in your head, and it has cheesy music behind it, then my job here is done.

My wife is a big fan of erotic stories, so I started writing them for her. She said they were really good, so I've begun posting them here. She reads stories to get off, so that's what mine are geared toward.

I must admit, I don't read a lot of stories. But when I start to read one and there's no boing within half a page, I drop it. NOTE: I drop it. I don't go into public comments and blast it to pieces. It may indeed be a masterpiece, but it's just not for me. What's wrong with that?

So when someone says "It got me wet" or "after reading it my cock was so hard it could cut glass", then I'm good.

Maybe what these people really mean is the fucking doesn't last long enough for then to get off? Have you tried making your characters do some more acrobatics before the cum shot? It could be all you need.

down voting this thread

I came into this thread to rub one out and you have let me down tremendously. Now I'm gonna have to pray another month for my next erection.

 

[theMaven]

I'm with her

Some people just have a short attention span and/or little sexual endurance. I think stories with a plot and emotional buildup are great; often they pay better at the end.

QFT

Some people aren't interested in plot, they're just in it for the quick thrills. They don't really care about mood, setting, or character development. They wanna know the girls' measurements, how big the guy's "endowment" is, where he sticks it, how she licks it, and what positions they perform.

Sad to say, to some, not much else matters. Give them anything more than they want, and they get annoyed/bored. I don't understand it, myself, but that's just the way it seems to be.

 

[AsylumSeeker]

Good Feedback All

I'm fairly immune to feedback but I am human (I think) and sometimes a remark strikes me wrong, as this one obviously has. It's just that I go to such great lengths to develop characters to give a reason for the sex that follows which annoys me in this case.

Maybe I should write a story where there are no characters, only bodies with pussies, tits, and cocks, and see how that fares. I even might except I'm afraid it would fare better than everything else I've done <LOL>

Or maybe...

This brings on a completely new genre.

TWISTED EXPERIMENT
By AsylumSeeker

Description: Frustration sparks a twisted story of sexual family perversion

The description alone will draw in the perverts. When I finish and post we'll see how it fares... LOL

 

[anomica]

Wow, first post in the forum, I think...oh well.

I've submitted a couple of stories during the years and they all tend to be fairly long. Yes there is sex in them, of course, but I try to write a long-ish build-up in order to activate the erogenous zones in the brain. It works for me and most of my readers that comment seem to be happy with it. Sometimes I've noticed that the build-up runs for 3 - 3 1/2 pages until the sex actually starts and then it's half a page left, or something like that. And of course I've had some feedback where the one sending is less than happy, but if I get a reader to hang on for 2-3 pages without shutting it down with a disgusted grunt I assume there's something in the writing that keeps them reading it, right? Like sex in real life, I prefer long and winding foreplay that ends in one cataclysmic event.

 

[age_matters]

you can't please everyone... diff people have diff taste...
but your stories suit my taste

 

[Quesla]

I'I'm in full agreement here! Without plot character developement and a vivid coulourful atmospheric setting, it would QUICKLY! loose interest for me! I have a lot of trouble understanding or having any admiration for guys that are just out for pussy & tits! Quesla

 

[Quesla]

For me: The erotica feelings of the main characters make my day. Yes pussy and a nice well defined artistically clasic sculpted cock/penis with the desperate throbbing and pulsing and the wetness oozing from the peehole excite me to no end!!! but! The male and female character need some personality and perhaps friction in their interaction that leads to reslution to get ther! Love ya all: Quesla

Anonymous, of course. A "hit-and-run" couch-potato critic but at least he (and I have NO doubt it's a "he") didn't post under comments. On the other hand, authors have control over what stays on Comments, don't we?

I have noticed that of late, there are more vicious, out-of-whack couch-potato critics on the attack than, say, six months ago. I don't mind constructive criticism and if any one here can show me how the above can be construed as "constructive" in any which way, I'd have learned something new.

However, how I see it? It seems more and more assholes are coming to Lit just to stink up the place. I'm telling you though... a lot of authors are leaving because of them.

Agree with the sentiment, but you don't write for them. You write for yourself. You are a writer, and in writing, just like art, there is no wrong way, there are only different ways.

There's a quote I heard about sports team hecklers that can be applied to this situation.
"They say that those who can't play, coach. Apparently those who can't coach sit 30 rows back, shirtless, shouting obscenities."

Everyone is a critic. Which is why you should never take stock in the random bad critique. Everyone will never like something you make.
