Comments that leave you shaking your head

[cw5523729]

Here are two that stand out to me.

1) “I wish you had given her a bit of a scare with some unprotected raw sex. Preg risk sex is the only real sex there is.
All else is mere mutual masturbation.”

Hmmmm, I think that comment says a lot more about the comment's author than it does your story

Tell us women are rejecting your sexual advances without telling us women are rejecting your sexual advances...

This sounds like the type of guy who secretly removes condoms during sex...

This is one that had me shaking my head, because I wasn't sure if it was a genuine question or not.

Why kill him? just give him the babies

The comment refers to my my MC, who's pregnant with twins, and "him," the evil guy who's trying to kidnap her children, once they're born. Police are not an option. He has superpowers which work on her, she has superpowers which don't work on him. She kills him to stop him kidnapping her babies, but also because he's the bad guy.

But, there is a little more to it, as this is all part of his plan to steal her powers by killing her once he has possession of the babies... It's all explained in what I though was a bit too much of a "as you know Bob," conversation.

If it's a genuine question, I'm rather baffled that anyone would think that handing over her babies is an option here.

It’s certainly not a common occurrence to see someone from the “sex only for procreation!” crowd out himself on a porn site.

2) “Great story! You like the "sound" of your voice. TOO much!!!”

I appreciate that the reader likes the story, but I still have NO idea what the second part means.

Obviously all erotica should be written in the style of a police report, in Cop Passive Voice!

The male subject's penis entered the vicinity of the female subject's vagina. Sperm was released at or about 11:05 pm. Witnesses reported the sound of screaming at or about 11:06pm.

Afterwards, male suspect was spotted hurriedly slipping out of the back door, zipping up his pants, shoe laces untied, as the female's husband pulled into the driveway...

That would be funny to read as a satire piece or as a scene in a story.

Never have we seen a better example of the difference that the sequence of events makes to the interpretation of the evidence.

Indeed. Right now, it’s clearly a horrible LW BTB story; but change the 6 to like, 4, and it’s a totally innocuous EC one.

"Sorry, mate. You were going to be the poster-child of a new generation of considerate men, but instead we had to kill you."

XXXXXXX about 4 hours ago
2* I stopped at blackmail.

I guess no one reads the tags.

Reading does require effort.

For me, tags are Gold!

I’m now very tempted to write (or rewrite an existing) a story in this style.

This was a topic a few posts back. I rarely open the tags and have only used them in searching for a story that has certain ones, which is what I think lots or non-authors do. I have learnt to put a note at the start if I think there might be something unexpected. Oh, and in typing this I don't think all readers take note of the Category, especially if it's a series and it, for instance, swaps from Group Sex to Anal and while a woman getting spit roasted is fine, DP isn't!

In general, no, they don't.

I've tagged my works as 'slow burn' and about a quarter of any comments boil down to 'it took too long to get going.'

At least they stuck it out.

In fairness, I suppose that since there's no way to make them read the tags, I can't really complain.

I have added an Author's Note saying as much to my WIP and my busiest piece, although that edit has been languishing in Pending Hell for ages.

They do not. I made the same discovery.

Author's note is the way to go.

It's one of the reasons I put an Ingredients List at the top of my stories. Give readers a hint as to what kinds of "allergens," they might find in the story, so they can decide if it's going to trigger their personal allergies or not.

Story tags could serve this purpose, but lots of readers don't read them, and lots of writers don't use them in that way.

They could, but since they display on a separate panel on the side of the story page, no one sees them.

I'd probably go for (the site) automatically repeating the tags at the top of the first story page before any of the story body.

I clicked on your sample link.

I like how you did that.

I'm also interested in reading it, now.

Good advertising.

It's categorized in Group Sex, which is a category I don't normally venture into, despite liking threesomes and my current WIP being my first threesome story.

I suppose I think three doesn't count as group?

Technically two is a group!

It would be nice if readers had a rating system. I guess it's not possible with no login requirement, but it would keep the voting more honest.

Time spent reading one of Penny's stories is never wasted

My only GS story features a threesome and it has scored 4.8, so I’d say three is enough.

Yeah, that is because they show up at the end of the story and I only see them when I get to the end. That is too late to use them to warn me what is in the story.
