Late to the party on this one, But I post a have a few LW stories and have gotten my share of nasty comments…
I think I have mentioned it before, but out of all the categories here on Lit, the LW category has brings out the most emotion as it is one of the few where acceptance of a situation does not need to occur to progress the plot. For exampl in Non-Con or BDSM, at some point the characters become accepting of their roles (somewhat). In LW we talk breakups, emotional blackmail, being unhappy or going BTB/RAAC. All of it very emotional.
And it generates a lot of comments, because done right, LW stories don’t always leave you with a sense of satisfaction. I think most of us that have posted in LW do it because we enjoy that emotional aspect.
As for people posting on multiple accounts, power to them. I hardly have time to post here on one account, work on a few of my stories and participate in life with a job and family. Maintaining two accounts comes across as too much work…
I guess another contextual comment, and this is just me. If I read a story I just didn’t like. I don’t 1-bomb. I just don’t rate it or leave a comment. As authors, most of put a lot of hard work and passion into our stories. Just because I didn’t connect with what you wrote doesn’t mean that you put less effort into your story than I did into me and therefore it doesn’t mean that I should 1-bomb you. If I have something to say that helps improve the next story, I’ll try to leave a comment that I think helps without insulting the authors drive for writing.
But… I get that some of us think differently. As such insults, 1-bombing, hate and all that negative stuff that pisses us off will continue to happen regardless. So my encouragement is write and publish what is in your heart. Let that drive your passion, enjoy the good comments and let the negative comments pass you by as you prepare your next story that I will read and enjoy
{Now also enjoy my bad spelling and grammar, and it can help to drive the point. But I’m posting from a hotel room in another country on my mobile phone at 4 in the morning is always fun and mistakes will be made when I read my post in a minute on sumbission}
