An announcement about my future publishing on Literotica

[cw5523729]

Keep going - you’ll get it eventually

Laurel will only write your name in the white list Blank Space in your Wildest Dreams. I know it's been a Cruel Summer but now look what you made me do with this endless tirade of Taylor Swift songs that I'm trying to work into a sentence while wearing my Cardigan but I can do it with a broken heart.

Alright, I agree that cardigan was a stretch.

edit: and I couldn't figure out any non-stalkery way to work in You Belong with Me.

Your contention is the most popular authors on Lit don't care about writing and aren't any good anyway? You sure you don't want to put that in the controversial opinion thread?

I stand by my opinion.

So, people want to be "protected" from a system that lets people vote the way they want?

No, people want to be protected from other people abusing the system.

Stop trying to argue that bombing doesn't exist. Legit votes happen, but so does bombing. If you've never experienced it, lucky you, but almost everybody else has. And acting all wide-eyed and innocent makes you come across like a troll, or a bomb apologist.

I'd totally buy your cd. Vinyl too even though I don't own a record player anymore.

Wait, I don't own a CD player either.

Ahh, yes, disagreeing with you is "being a troll". Get over that nonsense, people are allowed to have different opinions. It was totally fine to disagree with @AwkwardlySet when he raised concerns, but now disagreeing is being a troll?
I just don't think any supposed "one bombing" is nearly as big a problem as some people do. Then again, my whole ego and sense of self-worth isn't tied up in a random voting system on a porn site. So there's that.

Bomb apologist it is then.

Ok Miss I-actually-have-a-life. Just go ahead and throw it in our faces why don't you?

Bomb apologist it is then.

"Bomb apologist" is my new favorite phrase. Did they use that in Dr. Strangelove? I never saw it but I feel like they would have.

In the same sense that a person who thinks Flat Earthers are idiots is a "round earth apologist" I suppose.

What can I say, NASA paid me off to spread their lies.

Jill was definitely a bomb apologist if there ever was one

Well... here we go...

No, it's not a problem

It's more a generic observation that quite a lot of self-published work is pretty low quality - and it has a detrimental effect overall on how readers see self-published books.

I do agree that the quality is pretty low. But a lot of the Lit stories are pretty low, too, wouldn't you agree? Just scrolling through the stories, not pursuing stories of people we know on AH.

LOL totally agree - but I'd expect a higher standard on Amazon for example. Expectations expectations - made to be dashed LOL

I'd actually expect less from Amazon, they aren't as concerned about their "brand" in that respect, because their reputation is based on other things. Their concerns are more content than quality.
A more focused site needs to be at least a little more careful, in theory.

I did some editing for one of Lit's more popular authors, and my takeaway was that they don't care about writing. They have an idea, they churn it out and bask in the adoration of their fans. The version sent to me for editing was extremely badly written, full of mistakes and inconsistencies and completely lacking in many of the techniques that lift a story from "here's a series of things that happened" to "a properly crafted story that people will remember".

I think you mean this as a 'they, that one author' and not as a 'they, popular authors,' which I think some people took it as.

I don't know who you mean, but I can think of one quite popular author whose writing has regressed a good bit over the course of their time here. I think that regression coincides with moving to crowdfunding and feeling as though they have to fulfill a content pipeline for their supporters. Every few weeks new content must be delivered, so every few weeks there's a new set of physical attributes attached to a name picked from the 2006 Top 50 Girl Names (USA) list, one page of setup and three pages of oral into vaginal into anal into oral into vaginal, followed by two sentences of 'gosh, I wonder what happens next.' It's kind of sad.
