Comments That Make Your Day

[THBGato]

The amazing WaxPhilosophic and I appear to be reading through each other's back catalogues simultaneously at the moment, which is rather wonderful. I've been commenting on a lot of her smile-inducing Romantic shorts, and she's left four comments so far:

On Thirty


On The Third Date:

and

and Coda:



All comments are lovely. But comments from amazing fellow writers are the absolute best!

I love this one. In my story Saturday Evening I armed my protagonist with a 10mm pistol and I got grief from gun "experts" that dispute my selection of firearms (The 10mm pistol is powerful enough to kill a bear, that's why I picked it) I recently got this comment. My commenter reflected my sentiments and the sentiments of a great number of writers here.

I really loved the story. Uve got Great imagination to come up with something thats beleavable, even today!! I really ** love** all the * experts to! Cant Wait for when They Write Their (OWN) Storys on here!!

I'm a former Pistol Instructor and a LONG-time 10mm afficionado. The beauty of a 10mm is the flexibility. You can go with lower-power, specifically-designed self defense rounds and it is a formidable firearm for protection from the criminal human element.
OR you can go to higher power hard-cast & heavier JHP rounds as a last-ditch defense against bear.
Some people just complain to hear themselves complain. Not shocked to find such among our commenters. I haven't read this story yet...but I will now!

It would have been even better if they had written:

"People have been hung with less."

I hate missed opportunities.

OMFG I can't believe I missed out on writing that one..... @NoTalentHack thanks for the shoutout.

A few nice comments:

April Fools Story? Via Email. They don't mention which April Fool story. There are three of them.

Loved your April Fool entry

Homeless

Well written sweet story.

Wheelchair Girl

Five stars

Hidden Boss

Never a fan of the show but this was a fun read from the trenches to the boardroom. With 40+ years in operations. I recognized many of the issues brought up. In particular, kudos to Caroline for coming prepared with facts and figures to workflow.

An aside: "If you don't like a story, back out." Agreed. I'm working my way down the list and of the half dozen or so read one was not to taste by the end of page 1. Well written with strong characters but the plot was not for me. So? No author lashings, just on to the next story. Grow up, keyboard warriors.

Fido

Fun read!

On Barb/Barbi:

" " He wasn't fucking me, we were making love." FANTASTIC PHRASE. and one that not only have I not seen here, but personally used in my youth. Even had a very special young lady ask that I demonstrate what fucking was. Then, she realized the difference.
A rarely rated Five 5 ."

This makes my day as it is a very rare thing (for me) - a comment - and also very encouraging. On 1x: The Quiet Man and the Widow (BDSM)

I loved this for several reasons. The story is well developed with some unique twists, for example, the role reversals and the intensity that she demands from the beginning. I found the heroine captivating. The writing was excellent and easily read which added to becoming engrossed in the passion along with the actual progress of their relationship. I’m looking forward to reading more.
Thanks for a fun read.

He's in luck as what was a Stand Alone story now has four parts - I hope he finds and enjoys those as well.

[Not wanting to start a debate, but I have just realised he has used 'heroine' not 'FMC' or 'female hero'. Whilst I understand and respect the PC aspect I sometimes I feel it has taken from the language and really 'FMC' vs 'MC' never 'MMC' and 'female hero' vs 'hero' and rarely 'male hero', doesn't really achieve the intended equality goal.]

 

[StillStunned]

It's been a while since anyone commented on Too Cold Not to Fuck, so it was nice to get this from @Bosslady2024

I loved this. Very detailed and on point.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I was delighted to delete two nasty comments announcing my cuckiness on two stories. A brave anon, of course. First nasty comments I've had in a while:

But it was made up for by another comment that ranks as one of the longest I've ever received. I've truncated it to post it here, but you can go back to the story and read it in full if you'd like.

Buckshot Ranch:

@ Anon (7 days ago that stated) "It's just a thought but maybe leave this one as a stand alone that ended on a high note ? The timing of the reveal about Julie's special abilities was just a bit too much, a bit too soon. It would be hard to do a follow up and still maintain the suspension of disbelief that allows the reader to get immersed in the tale."
I highly disagree....

...So using this example as a measuring stick, I can see this story becoming an actual commercial novel or more, instead of just a short story that is finished. The basis is already there, she once unintentionally used her power to harm someone. Even at the ranch when she used her power it caused unintended damage. There is still plenty of room for this story to grow, her power seems to come from the love of life in others, mainly animals to this point. How will that change now that she is starting to accept that more than just animals can love her in return? Who are the Old Ones (not what they are, but who are currently Old Ones)? What happens when they meet and compare notes? Who/what will the baby that they create at the pond be (yea, you kind of gave that one away already)? As I said there are tons of different ways to continue this story.
I am going to tell you what I think successful stories are 1) a decent plot, doesn't have to be great 2) characters that will draw you into the story 3) an author that has a desire to tell you their vision of a better world 4) all of the previous points are done in an entertaining way.

Another nice comment overnight on Buckshot Ranch:

Well crafted and evocative. Thks for a great story!

 

[onehitwanda]

On "Tears of Salt" -

“I was exiled for punching my significant other in the face. The injustice!” Come on, really?

As with most of your works, these characters need therapy and an intense bout of self-reflection. You can’t complete yourself in others.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I'm having a great day. I got thumbs-up from the doctor, unloaded an old TV that's been in my way for two years, and got an offer for my truck (it isn't for sale) all before lunch, and it started with @Rob_Royale's comment on Naked House.

Thanks, Rob!

And the comment was, or is this a teaser to get us to open the story .

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

Just got this from Anonymous. Phun With Pharmaceuticals is one of my personal favorite stories.

I am hooked. Third time through and it still hits me perfectly every time. A wonderful all encompassing dream that so many would kill for it to be a reality. The comment Dr.Ender made about there some avenues that haven’t even been considered or explored is a fact. This could have easily continued while getting involved in and showcasing so many of the possibilities that it would be mind boggling although as a separate story there isn’t a way it could work considering how much of the minutiae would have to be covered. Thanks again for this incredible dive into some of the most interesting sexual changes that a reader could hope for.

You are quite welcome. The story was excellent.

Another great comment of Buckshot Ranch:

I honest to goodness think this is how my life was supposed to be! Wonderful story! I would look for this as a book series on Kindle, truly! I cannot give you enough compliments lol

This one is wonderfully enigmatic:

- on the last chapter of my Arthurian tell, The Dark Chronicles.

I had this on my Summer Lovin' story "Monsoon Coming", from madtowncunilinguist:

"Fuckin' amazing is what it is... Gonna read this one 3 or 4 times, maybe more. very sweet and sexy. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into writing and editing this fantastic story.
it's a little weird how it almost seems as though writing it was also a collaborative effort among the six...
Also, I think you as a male did an amazing job wrt presenting yourself as a female narrator"

Personally, I don't think I did a great job with the female narrator part (but I'll take it as a kind comment), but the bit about the 'collaborative effort among the six' (main characters) is a really awesome bit of praise, because I was really trying hard to show them as a bunch of equals respectfully having a lot of fun with each other without anybody being an arsehole, through the narrator's eyes. This one really did make my day.

I'm not sure what is out there that has the algorithm recommending Father Christmas, my runaway personal favorite one-off story, but it sure looks like that is the case. I've gotten a bunch of new favorites all of a sudden, and this fabulous comment, from @Duncanita:

This needs to be a movie! I don't care if it's Halmark or Vivid but either way, I wanna see it!

Me, too.

As I think I said at the time, it would only take minor alterations to change it from 18+ to U (British ratings) without changing the romance that makes it such a powerfully wonderful story. For instance the other women smelling a different scent and offering food (culturally adjusted) rather than their selves as the treat. YMMV

Received this from Anonymous, you know, the one who usually trashes stories, on my story Last Few Days of Summer Quite the surprise.


“That may be the sexiest story I have read on this site. And that is saying something. Great storytelling, immersive reading, and the tempo was perfection. I understand why it is award-winning. Keep up the great writing!”

 

[Devinter]

On Making Kiara Squirt, from my dear friend @StillStunned :

"My day is always better after reading one of your stories."

Thank you. I needed that this morning. And the feeling is mutual, brethren!
