Comments That Make Your Day

Elmer Kelton is from my home town. Met him a few times. Very nice guy, and yes, he knew his way around a western.

Strangely enough, I've never heard of him, and L'amour was too flowery for me. I never could get into him.

But to meet a famous writer...too cool!

A lovely one from Anonymous on "Tears of Salt"

Schizophrenia.

I'm not entirely sure what he/she means by that, but the voices are happy with the diagnosis.

You sound... salty

That doesn't sound right. The voices never agree on anything.

I said they were happy. I didn't say they were in agreement.

 

[StillStunned]

I said they were happy. I didn't say they were in agreement.

No, I'm not buying it. There's no way *all* the voices in your head are happy at the same time. I bet you have that one voice that sees a happy kitten and thinks, "Oh sure, it looks adorable, but can it pun?"

See...schizophrenia!

She knows where the good scotch is. They might not all be happy, or even in agreement, but I'd wager they're pretty mellow.

I have a new follower, and she's adding several of my stories to favorites.

She made the following very nice comment on my story "Aftermath, Just Loving You"

A much better ending than the first version of the story. Sad but wonderful as the two lovers join each other in death. I have to admit I cried.

This is a breath of fresh air, considering that my stories are in Loving Wives ... with the usual comments that are not as nice.

I had this from @Davester37 about 'Crapshooting', my recent effort on Loving Wives. There are a lot of people hating on this one, which I knew would be the case, because the premise is crazy and perhaps a bit threatening to some of the readers (I've just been talking about this in another thread so I won't bore you with it here). But amongst the supportive comments, there's this gem:

I don’t usually read LW, because there’s a lot of drivel in that category, but you’re one of the authors that I look forward to. I enjoy reading and thinking about some of the creative LW situations, without taking them too seriously.
Sometimes it seems like the comments are as entertaining as the story. So many commenters seem ready to pounce on an author that doesn’t write the plot the way they think it should go, and they rate stories to reflect their bias. Hey, it’s your story, and you can write it however you want!
This story is well-written, with interesting, likable characters and interesting settings. The editing appears flawless to me. Of course, it’s all about the plot in this genre, and this one is very creative and compelling. The sex is steamy and creative enough to keep me wishing for more. How can I fault that?
Thank you for writing, and thank you for sharing your work.

That's SO nice of somebody to write that in the midst of furious and mostly anonymous comments about how stupid/sluttish it all is. I don't think @Davester37 is on the forums, but I've written to them and of course this comment will here for them if they do log on here. People that make efforts like this to show support for authors under heavy fire are gems.

From @BenLong (His works) on my Halloween entry Purrfectly Playful

You are disgusting, depraved, twisted, and oh so marvelously entertaining! Absolutely loved it!

Oh so glad to find you posting again!

He might just be my #1 fan and he's a great writer to boot.

 

[Yarglenurp]

My favorite comment is a negative one, and I love it because the reviewer left the synopsis of a whole alternate universe in it.


“Fuck that, Rob came back and went straight to his safe pulled it out his gun. Putting the gun in Lin's face, you want a mean master you got one now bitch. You fucking let two men beat you, and force fucked you, while recording it for me to see. Now strip and get on your hands and knee like you did for them, your my sex slave only. She almost said thing, but he slapped her face hard a couple times. I told you I'm your new master now, not those two dead men. Now give me both their address, I'm going to go talk to them with my gun. You will only have one master and that's me slut..“

Another GREAT comment on my BTB story, "Break the Bitch, Drive Her Crazy"

Man you are SICK!!! Want to hang out for a beer or six? I was laughing the whole way during your revenge. Awesome!!!

My intent for writing that story was to "give back" to those BTB lovers who read my other sharing stories.
Even if they HATE those others, they are my loyal readers!

A lovely comment from @DukeofPaducah on my Halloween story.

I liked the way this slowly gained momentum until the trickle of lust became a stream and then a torrent as the dam finally was breached; the catalyst being lust too long neglected.

I always encourage authors to take ownership of their stories; to drive them like they stole them.
This one left the lot at full throttle, near redline once it had warmed up, leaving burning rubber and screaming women in its wake.

It was an enjoyable read for me. Thank you.

“This was so beautifull a gentle lesson in life all you people should be taught. Thank you. ”

Private message sent on my story Last Few Days of Summer

It is so gratifying to still receive such comments long after the story was published.

I can't believe that I'd missed reading that story previously. It's so well done. I do hope that many budding Lit writers have read it since it was published and learned the basics of how to make love. Although, clearly, many of us have not assimilated all the lessons yet....

In regards to Alistaire's Summer: Charlotte, Anonny issues this "threat":

If Alistair doesn’t end up falling in love with Maddie as a finish, I’ll - I’ll stop reading about Alistair. For a week. I’ll try, anyway

Well, the summer finished, and no HE with Maddie. I'd hold him to his word, except Alistaire is taking his own damned sweet time telling me about his time at college, and it will be a lot longer than a week...

You could give Alistaire a spell sharing a van with Anonymous in a trailer park, picking fruit or something, until Anonymous agrees to just let you get on with things in your own time? The power is always with the author....

I'd been feeling a little low after 8 of my stories suffering some 1 bombing this week, so this lovely comment from the wondrtfully warped writer Rose of Blades on The Third Date was just the pick-me-up I needed:


I loved every bit of this story. It was hot and cold in all the right places, it simmered and built to the absolute perfect ending. The sex scene was loving, beautiful, and hot as fuck. My only complaint is that it ended... I loved seeing every heated moment of this story develop and could have kept reading for hours.

Of special note, of course, was the way you incorporated music into it. I have absolutely no musical talent, but you wrote everything in such a way that I could easily understand and truly feel what Priya (and the others) were feeling.

Thank you for the amazing reminder that I am totally am completely gay...

I found this comment this morning that @TheLobster left on Upstream:

I had no idea Carlos Ruiz Zafon wrote porn.

I'd never heard of the man before, but after looking him up I'll take this as a huge compliment. Thanks, and thanks for reading my story!

 

[WhiteTailDarkTip]

@Iberean left me one of those comments that make me feel all warm inside. To The Girl With Pink Hair Pt.3 they said "... the Leigh comment really made me smile." which echoed an earlier similar remark by @JusteenK. It's nice to know that something you've written has chimed with the reader

There were a few writers that this story reminded me of; Zafon seemed most fitting since it is set in the Spanish countryside. Either way, I really liked.

A few nice comments:
Homeless

Excellent job. The overcoming the "two strangers" getting to know each other followed by the acceptance of the friendship/attraction seemed to go too quickly. We also didn't get much of a background for her. Not a complaint, just a comment from a reader.

very good and fast ***** . thank you for sharing.

Buckshot Ranch

Super fun story. Very creative and well written. Thank you!!!!

On 'A Game of Snooker', which I put into LW a couple of months ago and has been well liked (mostly very supportive, which is great for LW) and has generated lots of discussion. The premise is that an artist is commissioned to do some fresco-secco paintings in a minor crime-lord's mansion, and uses his painting and creative process to slowly help crime-lord's wife find a way out of her trophy-wife situation. Not that believable really, but it was great fun to write and to think about how you could change lives (for better or worse) with a brush. Anyway, some of my favourite comments:

@fudgerducks : This was a well thought out, extremely well written story. The actions taken were believable even if the situation was a bit unlikely to actually occur. The story followed a natural pace and the prose avoided gratuitous descriptions. Well Done!
@chilleywilley : Absolutely first rate! Very well paced and plotted, Not a stroke story as one commentator regretted, but an intricately plotted adult story by a very talented writer
@Demosthenes384bc I love it when the comments center around peculiar traits of the characters and what they would or should have done. It’s proof you’ve written great tale that drew the reader into your world, if even for a moment. I loved the intertwined plot lines and the complexity of Catherine was brilliant.

And my favourite comment ever:
@Whackdoodle: Holy hand grenades of Antioch! This was phenomenal! 5 stars isn’t enough. I came for sex but stayed for the story. Thank you for writing this masterpiece.

A couple of nice comments on Buckshot Ranch:

More than 5 star rating.

By far the best story ever.
The is a movie in this.
