Comments That Make Your Day

I think there are three categories of comments.
1. Those from the 'Anonymous' readers. Good and not so good.
2. Those from readers that have a posted name, but have not published any stories based on their bio.
3. Those from fellow authors, which i have to say are pretty much always positive and heartfelt.

It is the comments from those of you, on this forum, and fellow authors that make my day. Thanks to all
 
On my 750 word story Bill, We Need to Talk I received many very nice comments which almost made up for the lower score. It was an unusual story and, of course, only 750 words, both of which probably helped pull down the scores.

1) “You earned the last two stars in the last couple of sentences. Up till then, it was 3 stars. But your literary output twist cinched it. The surprise ending was very well done.”

2) “Well, what a surprise ending for me. I have read many stories starting like the beginning of this, very clever and very good. 5”

3) “I strive to find twists and neat endings to my stories - I wish I'd thought of this. Very clever; I loved it. Five stars.”

This absolutely made my day:

"Last night I read The Third Date and Love is a Place: The Puzzle, finishing at 3 am with the gut-wrenching cliffhanger of Samantha's reaction to Sarah's words. When I woke up at 8 am my first thought was that poor Samantha had been suffering for 5 hours with no reprieve!

Invested, much?

This story is so imaginative and well conceived. The writing is clear and evocative. Samantha's idiosyncratic thought process is unique and endearing. Dialog flows well and sounds natural, including the unique way that Samantha expresses herself.

The phrase 'instant classic' is overused to the point of almost being meaningless, but in my opinion TBHGato has swiftly risen to join the best authors of the genre. They need not be named here, simply refer to the reading list given to Samantha as well as Priya in The Third Date.

FFF - five stars, favorite, following."


The fact that they'd been motivated by one of my stories to go and read the rest made me all warm inside.

I also came across this gem of a comment on a story by @MelissaBaby recently, which made me smile (useful, as I was already crying):

"I'm not crying, you're crying!"
 
I got the following Anonymous comment on my story "Pavlov's Dog - 750 Words":

******
Checked "Like It", but I didn't. The quality of the writing and the succinctness of the psychological playing out of the Pavlovian theme garner my respect--but my reaction to the plot is overwhelmingly negative, which is all a good writer can ask for, right? You generated authentic repulsion, so kudos on that.
Keep writing.

I mean you are the coolest girl I know if I didn’t know better I think you had a dick sometimes lol... Probably best compliment I've gotten al day
 
I think I might be spoiled from posting in other categories, and now I'm not used to the low rate of commenting in SF/F anymore. But this morning I got this on The Dome 01: Out Into the Wasteland.

@ThatNewGuy wrote,
Terrific first chapter. Great world building, engaging characters, and intriguing questions that set up future chapters. All this combined with confident writing that keeps the tempo moving at a brisk pace while still making room for some lovely grace notes.
Thanks, really pleased that you enjoyed it!

Very very good. Of course, because I'm a dirty old man, I want her to ask him if her girlfriend can join, or if the two of them can lick each other's clits without him sometimes. And because I'm bi I want the redheaded witch to turn a femboi and have some man on "man" action once in a while along with DPs and swaps and all that.
 
I love this pervert!

I really find a few things strange about Happy Birthday, Darling. It has only had 12 likes, 38 votes, 9722 reads, a 4.58 rating, and two comments since it was published on 8/20/23.

I really appreciate the score, the likes, and the comments. But what I wish, because I'm selfish, there were more of all of them. LOL

Occasionally someone will vote and comment on one of my older stories that were submitted long before you were old enough to read them. I don't know why that happens, then the stories go back into hibernation.
 
Well, I read a lot of shit before I was old enough to read it!!!!

I’ve had two lovely comments for my latest story, Peta the Brave:

I loved it! I don’t know why it hasn’t gotten a better response - lovely use of language …. I guess people want unambiguous endings - life ain’t like that

" 'This is our goodbye sex,' Sam whispered". Not bloody likely! When Peta gets back and tells her story Austrocuck Hans will immediately issue an open invitation for Sam to visit at his convenience. In any case little Annika will be wanting a sibling soon. Well written for 5 stars.

Much appreciated and encouraging me to keep going in the style and story I am trying to put together. Many thanks.
 
It seems this reader expected a formula and spent an irretrievable hour of his life in my story hoping I'd eventually course-correct and give him that formula. I'm flattered by how much of a chance he gave me!

Wow this story sucked, no detailed sex scenes no romance, hes clumsy coward, and gets somone else? Yawn, so fcking boring man, the end is so anticlimatic

There was no vampiric interaction at all, why have her be a vampire in the first place, she could have just made it aal up and the story doesnt change one fcking bit, man what a waste of my hour i dont get back, jesus

I'm not sure what "vampiric interaction" means---blood drinking? On-scene fighting? Clan warfare? Vampires vs werewolves?
