Negative Feedback Trauma Center

[hmmnmm]

if someone could just find out about their breeding and nesting habits. where they lay their eggs for the next generation. how many survive past adolescence. of course this would require time and there's only so much spare time in a given day.

Princess, don't let 'em get ya down.

herbal tea?

 

[caprine]

Yes...

Aw, quit it.
if I could go back and do it again I'd give it a better title, like not begin it with the word 'negative' because that's already a downer word. Something like Recovery Center...


I was referring to the thread, not the title, but hey--just drop the negative. Some of us do need a trauma center after reading some of the TROLL feedback. LOL if you can at those kinds of comments. Still, it's interesting to see how others react to the real slams we all get from time to time. But, no matter the criticism, I write because:

" ...I feel more alive when I’m writing than I do at any other time—except when I’m making love. Two things when you forget time, when nothing exists except the moment—the moment of writing, the moment of love. That perfect concentration is bliss.”
- May Sarton

Happy writing and reading!

they (TROLLS) will then really come down hard on that story and/or author. They may even gather together and gangbang an author.

Sorry for the very fragmented quote Caprine but you just inspired me for two different stories at once. One for noncon-reluctance and one for sci fi/fantasy hehe ^.^

Cheers

I think I've made a very bad decision coming onto this site and trying to write stories. I've made enemies without even realizing it. Now it looks like all my stories that are barely at 4.5 are being voted down.
I can't win. If I keep anonymous comments up I'm told I'm only keeping the good comments. If I delete all comments I'm told I'm being delusional and secretive. I'm sure if I remove the option to leave comments I'll be told I'm hiding from reality.
I think I'm going to sink back into the shadows.

Erin

do you think it's maybe because you have so many stories up in a short space of time that you are only getting 4.5? Which isn't a bad rating you know!

Malicious strikes often get swept away. One of mine was victim to troll negs but it improved dramatically overnight!

Don't worry about people trolling down scores, Sweeps usually bumps them back up. Alternately you could be like me. Everybody loves me

You shouldn't worry about the scores so much, IMO, I have a story with a 4.00 rating that is my favorite posted work (okay I've technically only written two things but the point stands).

I can beat that. My last one is languishing at 3.7 up from 3.4. I know it's not as slick as the other two, but I kinda love it more

Rawr!

'bout time for the temperature-taking. yep.

Thermometers!

Haven't there been good stuff too?

It's sad trolls makes it very hard, for many people, to use the star system to see what people thinks of their stories

Kinda wish there was a five star counter on the side, so no matter how badly something was trolled, the author could look at the five star counter and say.

"Well, at least THAT many persons read it and found it enjoyable, good or great!"

I like the shadows but I don't learn much out there, learning is more important to me than my stars. Not that I have so many of them to lose but still

OK. Now I'm a little bit freaked out! I hope it's not an anal thermometer!

Best kind.

No need to freak. The atmosphere is strictly professional (or at least aspires to someday be), since the objective is to help de-traumatize the traumatized so they may be forthwithly reinserted into productive literotica society.

You're in good hands - sincere anyway.

I see innuendo everywhere nowadays. Really need to find something better to do with my time.

Honey, the main probelm is you have made a splash and a name for yourself - people will try to knock you down any way they can, and I don't just mean the readers. Some other writers on this site will do just about anything to eliminate any competition.

Check all your feedback - there may occasionally be something useful in it. IMO "That was great" comments are just as much a waste of space as "That sucked" and should be treated the same. If comments are really getting to you, turn them off.

You have a high listing on the favourite authors list, which means a pretty big following here. Remember those anonymous (so anonymous they don't leave any comment) readers that love your work and look forward to each new story.

But, whatever else you do, don't let the bastards grind you down!

OK, I'm less freaked now I wasn't actually moaning about the low rating, just using it as an example. When I get braver, I'll ask for feedback on it

 

[hmmnmm]

Sweetie, I've had the low ratings, the scathing comments - been H-less, nearly H-less; watched hard-earned H's disappear because of bombs and unexplainable 'sweeps'. I've felt the eeriness of silent response to something I thought was not too bad. I've felt that this was The Outlet to dive into as well as the downer of thinking this has been a major waste of time and energy.

Thing is - you just don't know what effect you're having on any number of people out there, somewhere. All you can do is try your best with what light you have at any given time. Maybe if one person responds favorably, you can safely guess that there were others who had a favorable experience with your work. Maybe they meant to reply but didn't know what to say. Maybe they meant to, but didn't get back to you for who knows why.

I go through frequent spells of considering just quitting and directing my meager energies elsewhere, but it never fails, that at just those low moments someone comes out of the blue and sends a thanks and a blessing. Hm. So somebody's out there and listening, after all. Who'da thunk.

Whatever all that means and however it may or may not help or apply?

 

[hmmnmm]

I'll add, whilst letting a new idea work itself out in the recesses, that sometimes too much praise can be almost as harmful as too much criticism. Too much praise, you can get too lazy, think you've arrived at the place you need to be, which invites a danger of stagnation, doing the same thing over and over, because you know you found what will work. You might slack off on the nerve to stretch your muscles and experimentations. I'm just guessing about this of course.

So sometimes, the quietude, while frustrating at times, can become a blessing. On the one hand you have the luxury of trying different stuff and if it falls on its face, not too many will see. On the other, if you finally get a good combo of elements working and nobody knows about it? Or if they know about it but you don't know they know because they don't tell you? Or somebody's just in a bad mood and your work just hits them wrong and they tell you about it, and they're the only ones? So you think what you put up must've been a total flop?

So I guess it comes back to the original: if you get to the point that you're happy with your work, and you're comfortable in that satisfaction, you've made the first and most crucial stride. Maybe?

Hm there was more, but it slipped off.

Later...

how about writing a special piece for the Loving Wives crowd? be sure to include plenty of wimp husband/cuckold action.

you'll find hours of giggle-worthy feedback. mind you, it'll be pure vitriol and venom, but it's good to see the fishies bite...

uh-oh, did i say that out loud?

don't sweat the feedback, babe. send your stuff out to a few people you can rely on to be honest, take the constructive with the plaudits and move on.

Like I give a fuck about loving wives! oooops. sorry wrong thread.

Hey GA.

Don't sweat the negative feedback if it's meant to be constructive it will be written that way otherwise if it just sounds mean and nasty it's just a troll.

I have one such story on Lit.

I have some others either not yet posted here or posted elsewhere.
