Comments That Make Your Day

Two new comments on my most recent stories.

@Rob_Royale on Full Moon on Old Jack's Hill:
Supernaturally hot. Very enjoyable.

And @AlexFourways on The Dome 04: Mothers:
Very nice romantic and sexy scene with the Mothers and also that Mother may take her eye of the ball.
Also I like that there was a touching of base with Xero and Raurri, to tie this part into the story.
5⭐
Thanks for reading and commenting, both of you!

@ALEX: Earlier in the story I messed up the timing when skipping between characters, and I really wanted to show "the morning after" for Xero and Raurri. Chronologically it had to take place before the afternoon's events inside the Dome, so I had to include it here. But I agree with you that it ties everything together more closely. Next chapter will be mostly Xero, but also a Ro-Gara scene.
 
Last year, my story, If Only In My Dreams won the Winter Holiday contest. But the greater prize was the response I got from some very special readers.

The story takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in 1945. Joe, a lonely soldier just back from Europe, boards a train in Philadelphia, heading home to an uncertain future in Chicago. When the train makes a stop in Pittsburgh, Dorothy, a woman who has been working there in a defense plant, gets on the train. They meet and...well, go read the story.

I was overwhelmed by some of the comments I received. This Christmas, they have started to come again.

This is why I write. Not for money, or prizes. For this.

My story "His Love Lost, His Pen Found" received a lot of hate. I think it's a good short piece for 1200 words but not up to the taste of L/W readers. Maybe I should have submitted it in some other category.

While I was feeling bad about the submission, the below comment assured me that at least a few people liked it for its creative flavor.

It was a sad tale; he was an idiot, and likely, she had a lot of pride. That she ended up in the arms of her best friend shows that there was always a part of her heart that he never had.
Well written, and I liked the poem at the end.

Well played... a tale of ultimate self-destruction, capped off with a poem telling the tale in summary... and pain.

These few good comments helped to negate the other hateful comments there.
 
Probably, and more to the point, actually, yes, you did!!!
Think I've read (and commented) on yours already, haven't I?



Hey, it was a very well written story. I don't expect all writers to cater to my whims, and I certainly don't feel like reading it was a waste of time.
Yeah, I do, indeed... Oh, that makes me think of Stargate. "Indeed," Teal'c said.
Yes you do. Good ones, too. I'd also recommend a perusal of stories by @onehitwanda
 
I probably worked harder on my story game that I've done on most of my stories, and was really suprised and pretty disappointed that it's got a really low rating. I think (hope) it's simply because findom kinks are a big turn-off for a lot of people, and not what people look for in an interactive story. It needed some bugfixes, balance adjustment and quite a few other changes, and I also promised a second part. But the effort required, coupled with the low rating, completely demotivated me to continue.

But then I get a comment like this, where someone "gets it", and it completely turns things around for me. So because of this one comment, I think "yeah, fuck the haters and the mehs, it was actually a pretty good piece of work":
This is the absolute hottest thing I think I have ever come across. This needs to be finished!! I absolutely love the daily grind and how it almost feels like being dominated and then all the messaging and money balance!! I love how the game finds little ways to dominate you, tagging the videos and typing the message both just get me so hard
It just goes to show that I care a lot more about comments and ratings that I admit to myself!
 
Going back to the tentacles for a moment, ages ago when the internet was fun there was the definitive tentacle sex illustrations collection hosted by, I think, an arty Swiss woman. On the chance that some vestige of it still exists, can anyone remember what it was called? Or perhaps, the URL?
 
I've been super lucky and thankful to have some wonderful followers who have been giving me nice feedback, one that really made me grin recently was on my latest story, "You're a Switch, Penny Thompson!"

From @Migbird

That piece like the others uniquely interesting (understatement). You are surrounding Penny with an array of 3-dimensional, delightful characters — could easily envision as a sitcom with a message. And the sex revealing of message and characters, never gratuitous (which is not to say the sex wasn’t wonderfully erotic). Thanks for sharing your fertile imagination.
 
So Anonny popped off this little gem:
"Is poor widdle Fwance still butthurt" is still my all time FAVORITE line on this Website!
I had so much fun with writing that scene myself... And the comment implies that they have read the story more than once.

Also, I corrected his/her quote when reproducing it here because I wanted to. So there.
 
@dontyouwishyouknew, clearly a reader of few words but impeccable taste, on The Dome 03: Over the Edge:
Great story!

And @Actingup, on Upstream:
Beautiful! Prog-era Genesis could have used this as a song intro…
(Now I can't stop thinking of the Spitting Image puppets.)

And on Full Moon on Old Jack's Hill:
Superbly erotic, with tentacled fun to boot! I love the way that you build the soundscape alongside the visuals. I suppose that you could argue that the tentacles don’t really ‘fit’ the atmospherics of the story, but on the other hand they fit the girls in terms of a warm-up for old Jack so… long may they reign,.
Yes, I was aware that the tentacles were a bit out of place, but they're silly fun. And they give the story a bit more meat, so to speak, than if it was just Old Jack.

Thanks for reading and commenting, both of you!

RE: tentacles... We need a quick addendum, Cthulhu and Old Jack comparing notes on the offerings...
 
There was also Hairitesticles. Although scholars believe he was just a Greekified version of the Phoenician hero Hairibal.
 
That's a completely different Greek hero. Tentacles was an explorer, always venturing into places unknown. Testicles was more rounded, and quite vulnerable, but basically he just hung around.
I thought he was dipped in the river Styx and he and his brother penistocles did that whole Trojan thing...
I could be fucking it up though, or maybe taking a piss on the facts...

I was probably being a bit cryptic on the Genesis comment!

I was somehow reminded of Peter Gabriel’s habit of telling short stories while the band retuned / reset (eg
), which also led me to thinking of the stories that he could have told around their song ‘The Lamia’, where the hero meets three mysterious women in a pool…
