This is a very insightful opinion about the perceived oddness of certain screen names, coming from an obvious specialist. Thank you, Theserialwaffle!

Had these two from regulars here on my Winter Holiday 2024 entry. The Druid's Winter Solstice Gift
FreyaGersemi (OK my proof reader - but said much the same at the time - "I loved this one!! So very creative!!! I enjoyed how you used language in such a way as to sound time appropriate. & it's an amazing story!! I couldn't stop reading it!!")
Great story! I loved how you made the characters grow and learn as the story progressed. And, of course, it greatly appealed to my contrarian nature (a winter holiday story with no elves (Christmas), dreidels (Hanukkah), piles of cow poop (Diwali), etcetera). 5 stars!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially as it was written in vernacular prose.
Sexy time description was no less effective; in fact may have been even more so.
Personally, I am fascinated by Celtic culture in general and Druid and Henge cultures in particular.
If I had to put a name to this fertility ritual I would call it the Jolly Rodgering. Ha
Thank you for his one.

I did my best to get a different verbal feel, starting with not having 'pussy' as at that time cats were still wild ones! The rest followed and the story did its own thing, or should I say the people did!

The first comments in for a new story are so important, aren't they? What will the world think of the new baby?

With that in mind, two of the first comments for 'Peace on Earth', my 'Winter' (Southern Hemisphere summer) Holiday entry:
@BBeinhart "Utterly amazing story. Sexy, hilarious and uplifting! Thank you! ️️️️️"
and
@mikko_lainen "Autumn darkness and damp around, it was absolutely a pleasure to be transported to the Pacific. What a great story and I particularly enjoyed your descriptive language. Good work, full marks from me"

Thanks so much, both of you. That was everything I was aiming to achieve.

@MediocreAuthor left these kind words on Rulk the Rat and the Demon Dagger:

An excellent tale! I feel like this would be a fun episode of something like the Twilight Zone (if Rod Sterling was okay featuring graphic rape in an episode)

Thank you! You're not the first to suggest something similar. Strangely, no-one has asked for more chapters about Rulk. I wonder why...?

by Jorunn on The Druid's Winter Solstice Gift
A truly wonderful story. I love it! Kudos on the prose, and you did a magnificent job on the sex scenes, making them sexy without modern vernacular. And the story itself is fascinating!

From a devotee of Celtic/Norse story telling and such a fine writer, that is praise indeed (though no disrespect to &)! Though this story is about the people the Celts replaced or intergrated with as it is a bit before their time!

I've had some new readers for my Halloween tale 'Semi-detached' since my Winter Holidays entry was published, and a couple of really sweet comments. I guess that's one of the benefits of consistently entering the competitions in terms of building the audience.

Fully Detached
by Willowghby
Most notably, the ghost of Polly is now free and "detached" from her bonds to the basement dungeon. The semi-detached housing is no longer "semi." Oh, wait, Vincent and Alice are fully attached...
Delightful Halloween tale, well written and easy flowing. Surrounding comments support my humble opinion. Thanks, Actingup.
Keep 'em comin'!

by bondagebearuk
A great ghost/romance story! Very definitely the sort of thing to read on a November night, (when Halloween is safely over for the year!). The conclusion for the ghost struck a definite chord with me for various reasons. Fantastic to have a male lead who isn't all about himself too. A story to be really proud of. Sequel please.

Another one from an author I respect on my The Druid's Winter Solstice Gift
by Actingup
Alex, this is such a beautiful, gentle story. I love how the Druid covers all the bases, including the arts of pleasure, cleanliness, and the provision of backup sperm. The prose is carefully considered and consistent, and leaves some beautiful Christmas warmth as well as a bit of magic and mystery. So classy. Absolutely five stars.

I love it when the bits of story that are in my mind but don't (need to) get to the page are still there. Yes The Druid didn't know if the husband was a Jaffa, but there are good reasons that the things invoked help with fertility.

It was a pleasure to read the story, Alex. I actually think that I might have given you two five star votes by accident, as I voted, then realised I wasn't logged in, then voted and commented. I don't know if the system picks that up based on IP address, but whatever...!

Some really sweet/poginant/funny comments by @Drizdart, @mildcolonialboy, and (the awesome) @Nellymcboatface on 'Peace on Earth'. Regarding Drizdart's comment - I don't want to get political here, but the story deliberately references some 20th Century historical events as a way of reminding us that the little actions that we make towards peacemaking are always important and potentially consequential and that's never going to go away regardless of how we might be feeling about the world right now.

by mildcolonialboy

Wonderful story. I loved the .diplomatic shenanigans, closer to what actually happens than most people would realise, I suspect. I have heard stories of known bugs being used to send selected information to the countries concerned, and to have a little fun. From my own experiences of being an Australian (Commonwealth) public servant dealing with State Government counterparts, the conniving of officials to get results despite the conflicting attitudes of the various Governments you describe seems realistic. By the way much of my career was spent acting up! I was once Acting Director, Compliance, Review and Procedures (CRAP). For Real!

by Nellymcboatface

What a wonderful Winter warming story, transporting us to an idyllic Pacific Island...
A fabulous change to the usual winter offerings, which certainly warmed my toes...
Lovely flow and a true romance...
Loved all the wonderful characters...
Well deserving 5 of my stars, wonderful.

by Drizdart

As I continue to grapple with reactions to the outcome of the US election and the likely events to come, reading this hopeful story of possibilities was a partial tonic. And the sexual combinations were a welcome distraction from my sour mood, too. Here's hoping for a real Pacific peace institute coming to fruition -- or at least a common understanding among the major nations trying to develop influence in the region.

My profile ends:
"If you want realistic stories set in modern England, mostly
London, full of witty snarky bisexuals and some happy
polyamorous people, many kinky as fuck, you're in the right place. If you can't cope with British English or the fact that bisexuals include some bi men, fuck off."
Someone appreciated it, emailing to say:
"LOL you've got my vote "

From @mad_scientist_au on 'Monsoon Coming':

This story kills me. I love it so much and keep coming back to it over again. I hope this story earned you a bj or better, if not I'm lining up to offer one. Your descriptive writing is fantastic.

(clicks rapidly on @mad_scientist_au's biography page....)

@Djmac1031 found The Rivals Ch. 01: Dark Encounters through Bluesky, and left this nice comment:

a fun and well set up start. Glad you shared this. looking forward to reading more as time permits.

Thanks! It's my oldest story here on Lit, and perhaps it's a bit rough around the edges. I think the writing gets better as the series goes along. And Sligh and Avilia are my favourite characters to write about, I think.

 

[Djmac1031]

you're welcome. And I'm well aware of that process, my earlier works are very much the same; rough around the edges but improve with time and experience.

I'll be reading the others soon.

@department42 read and commented on A Quiet Woman:

A nice change from the usual Literotica fare. Well written.

The narrator's character was realistic. Vernon, of course, was a caricature. We see Ginny change, but we don't see where her new confidence comes from. Yes, she's a masseuse, but tell us more about her deciding to cross that line. You don't have to spell it out, but do give us a hint of how and why.

Thanks for the story - five stars from me.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm not sure I'd describe Vernon as a caricature - flat, certainly, almost a plot device. But not overly exaggerated, I think.

As for Ginny, the hints are there between the lines: Ollie feels how warm her fingers are, he notices "the heat inside her" when they first talk about Vernon leaving. The implication is that with Vernon gone she can let out the hotness that's been inside her all along.

At least that's how I intended it. Perhaps the clues that were clear to me aren't so clear to the reader.

 

[AlexFourways]

Got this by jmcharl1 on The Druid's Winter Solstice Gift. He is not an author, but follows some authors that I know. Oh and now me - which does make my day!

That was so well done. Loved the character development.
I’ll have to read the rest of your stories. Thank you

The story keeps bobbing in and out of the magic [H] category but is getting lots of reads (well for me).

 

[Publius68]

I've been hoping that life will get back out of the way and let me get back to writing some new stuff, but in the meantime, I do still get some comments on old stuff. I found this one this morning nd was amused/gratified in several ways.

Criticism: the feminine form of Francis is Frances

Congratulations Publius, I rarely give more than 4 stars, but I have given 5 stars to every part of this tale

 

[SyleusSnow]

My goal for stories is to stay under 10K, so I really appreciate this one on Crazy Camping Neighbor:

Thank you for taking the time to write this sweet little story. I've enjoyed reading it twice now. Sasha is such a lovable, and goofy, although obviously troubled girl. You have a knack for writing nice stories. I like that they are short and sweet. you're able to develop the characters and tell a good story in 4 pages - that's a rare talent here on Literotica. I'm still disappointed in myself for wasting hours reading a 12 page tome the other day that was a dumb, overly complicated cops and robbers story that wasn't even sexy.... smh. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into writing these sweet stories. I'm enjoying them immensely.

 

[StillStunned]

I woke up this morning to find this comment that @Djmac1031 left on The Rivals Ch. 02: War and Thieves:

Chapter two takes everything up a notch, the action, the sexual tension, etc. Great job! Really enjoy this story so far.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

ETA: And this on The Rivals Ch. 03: The Demon Hunt:

Another fun chapter in this adventure.

Thanks again!

 

[Actingup]

Thanks so much @DukeofPaducah for this comment on 'Peace on Earth'. Much appreciated and I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading your entry too - and I just realised that one of yours is 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' and I swear to you that I haven't read that yet even though I quoted the song in my story.....!

"Apt title both in season and theme. The story itself was a triple word score. The romance, diplomatic maneuvering and unfamiliar cultural setting captured my imagination and held it. The epilogue was especially uplifting as it revealed they were busy ‘wearing it out.’"

 

[Duleigh]

Wow - this one made my entire month. My story, All Aboard Andi's Dream is a romantic romp through Western New York. Chapter 16 left the readers with a huge cliff hanger - Andi's husband was kidnapped. I gave no details, he went out to put the car in the garage and disappeared, and the kidnappers shot his service dog as they left. Chapter 17 took far too long to write (the chapters average 30k words) but it finally came out and a reader named Anonymous left the following comment:

WOW! Just WOW Duleigh! Like most us, we have waited for CH. 17 and you delivered. For myself there are only a certain number of stories on this site that have captivated me like Andi’s Dream. Your writing of all these characters due to your skill, make it easy to follow each of their lives. I have become so immersed with each one. That sir is due to your writing imagination and skill in creating and bringing to life each and everyone.

Diligently look forward to the continuation of this saga.

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish Anonymous would reach out to me via email. He mentioned where he was from and we could have been neighbors at one point.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

Always nice to hear from fellow authors:

@ElectricBlue

The single "my Christine" was brilliant - that encapsulated their relationship for me, that single use of her full name!

@THBGato

I adore your Chris and Renee stories. It's so wonderful to watch love, and your writing is so cinematic (all close ups and medium shots, naturally) that I feel like I am watching when I read.

Seriously, those comments really did make my day, you two.

[nice90sguy]

This comment is one of the few I receive where the reader completely "gets" my story. This was my fisrt submission on this site, and one of my best. - "Training".

I've been spending weeks prompt engineering a Lllama-3 based uncensored chatbot and it's remarkable in hindsight how accurately I depicted Libby's repsonses. So I'm glad this reader noticed that too.

This is such a deeply interesting story on so many levels. The way she emulates human behavior and emotions is spot on for a sociopath which is frighteningly realistic. Watching Waldo attempt to teach and train her which she is aware of and understands what he is doing is clearly obvious and yet when she is doing the same to him, his emotional confusion and ego will not allow him to see that she is training him and using his stunted emotional content to change him into what she wants. An excellent story that gives the reader a front row seat to observe an egotistical individual challenging a sociopath to see who ends up in charge. 5/5

The first comments are trickling in for Bound to the Blade.

@yesterdays wrote:

A creative, erotic, and very well-written fantasy story! 5 stars.

And @ShelbyDawn57 added:

Chapter one of many, I hope. Good job.

Thanks, both of you, for reading and commenting! Shelby: I do have a few ideas. If possible, I'd like to track Hew's rise from adventurer to king, with Astor's help.

From where you left it, I can see a redemption arc for Astor in that story. Looking forward to reading the next installment.

This story began as a Pandemonium entry, but I didn't think Astor was demonish enough (I reworked the basic idea into "Rulk the Rat and the Demon Dagger"). By the end of this story (which I only thought of about a week ago), Astor is definitely becoming more likeable, I think. It will be interesting to see which way it goes!
