The Loving Wives Trolls!

[M_K_Babalon]

You should never post on the forum with the same userid that you use to post stories. For obvious reasons.

I see no need for this. Besides... being active in the boards is kinda lightweight promotion for your work.

 

[Lifestyle66]

I meant those who use an alt to troll are cowards.

I don't judge them for what they feel they need.

They have their published IDs, logging in to weigh in here at the AH so we can see their story list. And they maintain that "persona" of the author with those story fetishes, decrying the "trolls" who hate their stories. Then, before reading any stories, they log in as that unpublished alt to both 5-star their own stories and leave glowing comments, and to flame the stories of others who offended them. They may even have more than one publishing ID, as pointed out above, for different fetishes.

Imagine the stress and confusion of having to maintain the separation of those persona's comments and posts!

I just find life easier to have just one ID and not being that schizophrenic.



And as some are finding, Escierto's comment about IDs when posting in the AH; it's a double-edged sword.

You can draw attention to your published works. But sometimes those who look up your works are doing so to 1-bomb them!


EDIT: Note that I don't care if they look up my stories to 1-bomb them. All of my stories have been bombed so many times, for most stories, t would be a full-time job for them to drag my ratings any lower. How many 1s does it take to drag "Pavlov's Dog - 750 Words" any lower than a 2.21 which already has 657 votes?

I kinda feel the same way, except I didn't wanna continue writing erotica on my other account, except maybe whatever slips in my fan fiction. With what I wanna do with that name, I don't need it sullied with smut, especially if I do something like publish a childrens book with my cousins publishing company. I intend to finish what's there, and that's it.

 

[26thNC]

To say 'sympathizer" is rather judgmental.

26thNC doesn't need to be a "Confederate sympathizer" but might just be someone who found a family connection to a relative who served in the 26th NC.

I researched my ancestry and have a GGgrandfather who served in a Union regiment at Gettysburg, and another in a NJ regiment. I just don't bother with such things when looking for my own Id.

But, for 26thNC, they have AT LEAST one other alt name. And those might even be something related to Hitler's Germany, militant lesbians, or a Black Panther. Who knows?

Lifestyle, I both had 3 distant relatives in the 26th, all died on the first day at Gettysburg, and was a reenactor for a few years. I have no connection to the Nazis, or to the black panthers. I have a cousin, and sister in law who are lesbians if that counts. I may be a troll, but I’m a happy and successful, although far from the worst one in LW, troll.

 

[dmallord]

Interesting...

I have one ID here.

I've never thought that another one should be created. That seems pointless. Now that I've read through these comments, it might be prudent to use an Alt for publishing and another for the forums if you are concerned about nasty posts and lower scores. From that perspective, I could already be compromised–though not bothered by that at my age. I've contaminated myself? I could give a 'nastiest rat's ass' at this point.

A goal of mine for writing here is to write at least one story in each category. However, I should be more focused on achieving that. I wrote one story in LW and came away thinking—nope—one should leave that category while naked, having shed contaminated clothing and set them on fire at the rim of that abyss. Just walk away without looking back. Still, one person came to defend me in a comment, so it wasn't all a bad experience. Some here are gluttons for punishment, it seems, dipping their toes back into that pool time and time again, knowing the outcome. Sadists are you?

I'm not a sadist, just not caving to the trolls' demands.

And I'm not concerned about nasty comments and lower scores. If I were, I'd delete those nasty comments and anonymously plus up my own story scores with 5s.

I just toss out my stories to see the reactions of others. And I get more reactions, both positive and negative, in Loving Wives.

I get people using alts for different category content, but I'd have thought you'd only need a forum alt if you intend to be malevolent.

The alt account isn't necessarily if you intend to be malevolent.

I created the LW Bomb Magnet thread due to receiving a PM from another non-malevolent author that their stories were being serially 1-bombed for the first time, which came shortly after an innocuous comment in a thread that they never experienced it. Someone was triggered to teach them a lesson.

The problem I see with such alt IDs is not the intent at the start, but the potential trap that "power corrupts". It could make you the very troll you detest, since there's another layer of anonymity without consequences.

Another reason someone here may have an alt ID to post and not divulge their pen name is to avoid the behavior you're talking about. They want to be able to voice an opinion without fear of uncalled for retribution.

I'm okay with that, unless the person is nasty here, and then I have no respect for them because they want to come here and dish it, but afraid to take it.

I used to think it was pointless as well, dumb even. But it was either Keith, Lovecraft, or both who's said along the lines of; it helps make it look like you're not flooding the industry. I've seen fanfic writers in r/FanFiction say they write certain things under a different name as not to lose followers, or deal with bullshit because they wrote something not common to their standards. Something similar people here have said. I thought about it and I do have a different pen name for my poetry.

I was going to just keep writing various things under JaxRhapsody, which is what I use everywhere, but also through those fanfic writers and other instances, that if and when I ever get into the domestic market either by tradpub or just epub, that some folks might not abide me writing smut. At least to the degree I write it here and in some fanfics. I had long decided to make a pen name for erotica, and had been thinking long about the name and wanted it to sound on some level of cool as a few names on here, that don't sound like just an internet screen name, like Millie Dynamite- love that name. I think I did pretty good.

As far as another to comment and read under; I don't read much here, not trying to do all that work switching back and fourth, and it just comes off as a lack of accountablilty for my actions using an alt just to not risk the ones I actually have work under. I don't care if I get "opps" here, I'm standing on business. You know it's me when I say something, and I'd like to think that's a bit more respectful when the me yall know is saying shit, rather than hiding deeper in some inception account, especially when found out. Most alts do get found out. It wasn't but a few years ago somebody kept coming back after each alt was banned and was found out rather quickly. I think it was John B Johnson collective.

Signing up basically signs you up for both sides of Lit. At one time they were completely seperate I believe.

The two sides have been joined together since at least 2014, when I joined. I've only ever had one account ID.

I came here in 2009 and it was as it is now. One id to post stories and on the forums. I think its always been that way.

They were combined when I first came on the boards (as sr71plt) in 2006.

You can open two accounts, though, and use one of them only to post stories and the other only to comment on the discussion boards. There's a downside to this, though. If you want to have your writing opinions given much weight, you should have the accessible writing to back it up.

I have several accounts to try to keep my genres separate but I try to post to the discussion board only under one account name (except for the published works thread. I still usually post about new books there under the sr71plt account).

Exactly. Talking about writing and stories are why I'm on the forums (okay that, and neked ladies). To not present my work and have it represent me, would be counter intuitive.

 

[Lifestyle66]

And once again, 26thNC (who knows what I write) pokes his head up out of the Loving Wives outhouse hole:

*******
26thNCabout 2 hours ago
Wow! A smart cheating cunt who can tell that a revolver is empty by looking at the empty holes in the cylinder. Keeping a gun with the bullets locked up in another room makes sense only to the anti gun crowd. I own many guns, and yet have not had a single one touched by anyone that I haven’t handed it to. This Lifestyle story isn’t 4th level vile, but it’s still nothing but a cuck story. I would enjoy a second chapter where Dave uses that fast draw .45 revolver to shoot Earl’s balls off. Doubt we’ll see that one.
******

So, I still have my work cut out to achieve that 4th level below vile! The second chapter is already in the works!

 

[Inkent]

You certainly need a thick skin to publish in LW, there are certainly those fixated on using the word 'cuck' in the comments - doesn't matter if it's a "lifestyle story" or one with a bunch of cheaters or two, they themselves have a fixation on throwing the C word in.

On top of that you have the morality brigade backed up by those that are hell bent on the idea the story is a documentary. I enjoy reading the comments, they swing from one extremity to the other, different folks, different views. As for the hate, and I mean personal hatred, where there is no reference to the story in any shape or form, yes we have our friend Mr Delete key.

But there is a solid back bone of readers, the quiet ones that enjoy a good read.

Personally, I'm trying hard to write a wide variety of stories that live under the LW banner, from dark to fun. I'm keen to try and let the readers think how they would tackle the scenario, some even comment that they've been there and have the tee shirt.

My job has me out in the wind, dealing with tough stuff, tough people so I can shrug off the comments with relative ease. Oh yes, being an old twat helps too!

Oh crap, I've mention cuck in this posting, this'll merit a one star for the comment

For what it's worth, I have LOVED your writing (under both names) for pretty much that whole time. I really appreciate your talent.

 

[LustyScribe]

From the OP:

"So, I asked: "Why do you click on MY stories when you know you'll hate them?"
And 26thNC never responded to my last question."

I think this really gets to the heart of the issue. I believe in many if not most of the anonymous LW bashers, there is an internal conflict between the reader's draw to the eroticism and their sense of shame. In their minds, a wife experiencing phenomenal pleasure in the arms of a lover is bad, but the idea that they, the reader, living vicariously through the cuckold, might find a form of sexual gratification through the gumbo of emotions (shame, humiliation, sel-doubt, lust...), well, that just doesn't sit well with them. A "real" man couldn't possibly find this exciting...could he?

And so, wracked by this emotional turmoil, conflicted by the erection in their dominant hand as they read in the corner of their Shame Closet, afraid of that cowering cuckold lingering in the corner of their psyche, they lash out (anonymously, because they need a degree of separation from their addiction) at the one person they can safely target with their angst: The writer.

That's my first theory. The second is that some people are just rectal apertures on legs.

Why, thank you. Thank you very much.

I'd agree with them being "number 2".

A bit ago, during one of the contests, someone dropped a 3 on each chapter of my series "The Rivals", about an hour apart each time. That's 50k words in total. Then they dropped another on "The Countesses of Tannensdal", which is another 20k. Who reads 70k words of stories that they think are just "meh"?

Either it was someone who's so obsessive they can't not keep reading, or it was a troll. The fact that almost every one of the stories was in the high 4.8s before those lovely 3s points to the latter.

3s? If only!

When they come after me, it's with 1s.

My last few stories received several 1s within the first hour of going live. Then during the remainder of the first and second day, they alternate between 5s and 1s, with an occasional 4 so as to come close to a 3 average.

Sooo... Just testing to see if it's my writing style or the story themes of extra-marital sharing, my next story goes live tonight (06/03/2024), and it's my version of a "burn the bitch" story. If the LW 1-bombers like BTB stories, I'll see how they react to "Break the Bitch, Fuck with Her Mind", "The ex-husband has decades of anger to work through." (7.4K words in Loving Wives, and it entails femdom cheating and misogynistic BDSM)

That's an excellent question! And who, seeing 1. the category, which, like it or not, typically involves extramarital sex by a wife, and 2. a description/disclaimer that TELLS you clearly that the story involves the elements you claim to hate, then reads said story?? I don’t get turned on by "watersports." Not my thing, but you're all welcome to roll in the yellow snow if that's your thing. When I see a story has those elements, I whiz on past them. What I do NOT do is go into the story and bash the writer for including such elements.

I think some people's mothers never taught them manners, never spanked them with a flyswatter or slipper, never washed their mouths out with soap for being disrespectful, and now the rest of us are having to deal with the consequences.

 

[WhiteTailDarkTip]

It could be. I like to assume the people I interact with aren't trolls. It makes life more bearable.

Trust is valuable and fragile commodity
