You will wait in vain.

You say that, but don't forget that there was a Bat Out of Hell III...

I had a really nice comment from @mildcolonialboy on "A Twist In the Plot - the sequel"

"Wonderful story. Funny, hot and makes some serious points. Mooning the police - a reference to the 1832 mooning of the Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmanian) Governor by convict women?
Are you thinking or entering this years Pink Orchid challenge? This story would have fitted very well, Heather and the other women certainly showed agency, and came to terms with their sexuality."

So this led to a bit of reading up of Australian history. It turns out that there was a reported mass mooning by female convicts:

"An act of mass defiance occurred at the Cascades Female Factory in Van Diemen’s Land (now known as Tasmania) in 1844. Angered at their poor treatment, the convict women decided that enough was enough. When the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land visited the female factory to attend a chapel service, the women saw a ripe chance to protest.
As the prison chaplain Reverend William Bedford read his address from the dais, the women lifted up their skirts, revealing their bare bottoms. According to the Reverend – who was much hated at the camp – the slapping of their bottoms in unison made a ‘loud and not very musical noise’."
https://tracesmagazine.com.au/2020/06/full-moon-in-van-diemens-land/

But then reading more deeply... it was fiction after all:

"The most famous story about the Cascades Female Factory is a tale of flashing bottoms. On a day when the Colonial Chaplain, Rev. William Bedford, was preaching to 300 convict women while Lieutenant Governor Sir John Franklin and his wife Jane looked on, the incarcerated audience showed their mocking displeasure by suddenly turning round (all at the same time!), pulling up their skirts, and smacking their bare bottoms. This story has been told by historians for more than sixty years, and is the subject of a widely circulated postcard.

But this piece of “history” is myth. Its creator was an Irishman named Robert Crooke who emigrated to Van Diemen’s Land in 1840, hoping to be appointed Colonial Chaplain. Instead, he found himself in the low-status job of catechist working for the Convict Department at a probation station on the Tasman Peninsula. Eventually, after fifteen years, he was eventually ordained as an Anglican priest in 1855—only to lose his coveted position two years later. His sexually inappropriate language outraged and scandalised his parishioners, who complained to the Bishop. An inquiry was set up, and the clergyman’s bizarrely inappropriate behaviour became a matter of public record. “The Rev. Mr. Crooke,” gloated a Hobart newspaper in 1858, “has sloped to Victoria.”

In the next thirty years before he died, he wrote various versions of an historical novel/diatribe/reminiscence in which he vented his spleen at the Anglican Church in Tasmania—including the Rev William Bedford. This writing is the source of the flashing bottoms story. In its telling, Rev. Crooke fantasised a moment of revenge against a prominent clergyman from the church which had driven him out.

No one would have known of this fantasy, much less taken it seriously as fact, if Crooke’s granddaughter had not show her cousin the unpublished manuscripts. This cousin, the historian Kathleen Fitzpatrick, quoted the “ribald tale” as she called it in her highly regarded biography, Sir John Franklin in Tasmania, and historians have been authorising this splenetic fantasy of Rev Crooke ever since!!"

Isn't this hilarious? A salacious story, written privately by a disgruntled dirty priest in the 1800s, was published as fact and hangs around and still gets quoted. If that isn't enough to spur on our efforts on this site, I don't know what is.

I woke up to this comment on Pas de Trois from @Belegon:

I truly enjoyed this. I think I'd have a hard time with this setup, if only because I'm so fond of writing dialogue. There is zero dialogue here and while I would have to come up with another aspect of the location in order to add any, I think I would end up doing that. I enjoyed the way you framed things though.

I have several voyeur stories without any dialogue, or at least only a closing line or so. I think part of the essence of the voyeur experience is the distance to the person being watched.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

 

[StillStunned]

Oh, and @Belegon: here's a voyeur story that's all about the dialogue: The Walled Garden.

I wrote a series for a female bi-sexual couple a few years back, Hannah the Whore. You can find it here: https://classic.literotica.com/s/hannah-the-whore-ch-01

The first chapter was a Christmas present from Hannah to her partner and she told me after a couple of chapters that I changed their lives.

I didn't expect that. Writing with the continued input from the perspective of two women helped me as a writer too.

Yesterday I promoted one of my stories, Upstream, on Bluesky. A few dozen views, a handful of votes, and a pair of lovely comments.

@SinfulKnave wrote:

This is beautifully written, not always a requirement on here. Little touches in the turn of phrase please me immensely

@AzimuthMoore added:

Whoa. There is power at work in this piece of an elder variety. A way of description that is both familiar and uncanny. Excellent work.

And @JordynsCanvas left this comment on Pas de Trois:

Oh wow, I really love this story. Based on the things that you focus on, I see similarities to my own fascinations and the little things I find most arousing. Look forward to continuing through your bookshelf.

Thanks for reading and commenting! It's always wonderful to get feedback like this, but these lit up a miserable January day for me.

Last week, I posted the last chapter of my story Always and Forever You, and I got a couple of comments that literally made me cry. I am so thankful for everyone that read my story. Here they are…

Discovered your writing at the end of your “Always and Forever” storyline and so glad I did — immediately caught up; quite enough to appreciate your characters and the love between Lily and Rosa. The Epilogue is painful, poignant yet hopeful. Two scenes stood out within this well crafted ending (really a new beginning): Devon and Rosa talking with Taylor and Luca — rich and real along with the aside between Devon and Rosa during their conversation about the The Luna Beach Diaries: “But love, don't your subscribers just want to see fucking?" I ask, skeptical. "It's up to us to show them what they really want. We're going to make them understand the intensity of the love that was at the root of it. Then, we'll get to some serious fucking." Really rather profound and reflects perfectly the lust/love shared between Rosa and Lily and captured on film by Devon in previous chapter. Likewise, the sex/love Rosa experienced towards the end of this Epilogue chapter - seriously, outrageously mesmerizing. Love the future not to mention possibility to explore other characters/relationships. Certainly opportunity for more of Rosa, Taylor., Luca and a Devon — as near hopeless romantic. Creative writing with lots of potential.

This was so beautifully written. I confess to have engaged in some pretty ugly weeping as I got to the end. I am a 5 time cancer survivor, twice from Lymphoma, so to say I identify with lots of the story is an understatement. And also why the less than happy ending for Lily broke my heart but felt too real. I have lost so may friends in the blood cancer community these last dozen years. But what was life affirming in this was how hard Rosa and Lily loved each other and lived their lives fully. Having Luca, and embracing Taylor...living a life of making the world better....this was a sad but very satisfying story. Thanks so much for gifting it to us. I actually only discovered it recently, so had the pleasure of binging it....15 stars for sure.

@ShaggyDogStory – obviously a sci-fi fan – left this comment on Fusion Tug Clara Solti:

This is the second story on this site, the first being Slingshot, that I'd love to see adapted into a feature film. It's ingenious, complex, yet tightly written.

Very cool. Now I just need Spielberg, Cameron, or Nolan to discover my Bluesky account. Currently it’s only actors like “Jamie Lee Curtis” and “Chris Hemsworth” finding me.

(Beware of fake celebrity accounts on Bluesky. I had two Chris Hemsworths and JLC following me at one point. At least those accounts disappear after I report them… except for that one remaining Hemsworth, maybe that one’s real?)

Fairytale of New York continues to draw more comments than any of my other stories (besides a couple in I/T with 120-150k views more than "Fairytale"). That's very gratifying, considering how much of myself I poured into the writing.

@Vitriolhack added their voice to the praise:

Such vivid imagery between two people.
Nicely written theme touching addiction and attraction.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Edit: I just found this new comment, from @Actingup:

Oh, man, this is great. Particularly this gut-wrencher:

"If I'd known..."
"If you'd known it wouldn't have been worth the wait."

So nicely done. I think we should assemble a troll-chorus immediately to sing a (male and female) bassline on 'Fairytale of New York'. I reckon they've have everything below 50 Hz covered pretty well.

Thanks! And I think a chorus of trolls would be a pretty terrifying thing to hear. Amazing, but terrifying.

"Pardon me, but I think I need to go take a very cold shower now. Very well done! 5 star read."

Is to me the exact response you require from a steamy story?

I know, i know, i barely post here anymore except to toot my own horn. But hey, someone has to toot it.

Reviews coming in on my new story, Blown Away, just published this morning and doing quite well so far, for a Fantasy story.

Well, apparently World's Best Practice is that an attractive angel will come and toot it for you while in the bar, and pay for the drinks. Great story!

The best kind of Anonymous comment, just received on December's 'Remembering The Storm'. I've had quite a few comments along these lines, which does make me wonder if we need an 'old but never too old' category. The MCs in the story are in their 70s, finding love 50 years after a shared trauma.

Thankyou !
I broke away from a genre of stories and lucked into yours....Great for me.
To land upon not only a wonderful story but one in line with my and my wife's age along with the sad realities of loss and age. Lucky me for finding this.
Again Thankyou so very much. Great story, I look forward to your others.

I personally deleted a comment not long ago that went along the lines of, "I'll find your family and murder them." It was in response to a very low scoring story of mine in loving wives. The leprechaun in me giggled and jumped up and down about that one. https://www.literotica.com/s/table-for-two-3

To draw such a passionate response from your writing is a scribbler's mugwump jism.

 

[PennyThompson]

@Migbird always gives me just the nicest comments, they always seem to pick up what I'm trying to throw down

The [sex scene] was so tumescent/erotic; could not have been easy to craft — the body “language”/contortions while sustaining erotic tension so impressive. But what makes that scene work so well is the banter/engagement throughout this chapter from early morning teasing, bookstore fun (reminded me so much of delightfully cramped bookstores in NOLA — grow dizzy looking a organized chaos) and post-coital “We’ll text you some time!”. So much fun to read.

When I logged in this morning there was a flurry of activity on my stories which was nice to see and buried in that was this line in a comment on my latest, The Sweetest Berry Ch 3, from an anonymous reader:

Surprised to see a genuine response to nonconsensual phone sex even with both of them trying to play damage control.

I try to write pretty upbeat stories with people enjoying themselves but always with a thread of reality to keep the stories grounded and not to porn tropey. In this scene a character gives in to pressure they know they shouldn't and it comes at a cost.

It was great that along with the comments like "Hot story!" and "More!" and "When do we see Gisella fuck!" (which I really like seeing of course) that someone took the moment to acknowledge and appreciate the real moment for that chapter.

 

[MillieDynamite]

This just in on Mr. Lucky 2, Mr. Lucky Ch. 02 - Wild Black Cat.



I got the impression, he liked it!

 

[Naughtylit81]

Got this comment from anonymous on The Sweetest Berry Ch 3:

I don't think anyone on this website does BWWM better than you.

I am not saying they are right but I am not going to argue to hard with them either.

 

[StillStunned]

@Belegon ventured into the Erotic Horror category to read The Countesses of Tannensdal, and left this gem:

Well done. after all, a mysterious dweller in a castle in an isolated area of Europe is not exactly unheard of, but you managed enough creativity to make it your own and not have me just say, "Dracula rip off." I come out of it still liking your protagonist, despite his slaying a man that most stories would call the tale's hero. I also like that you used the one female character to delay our need to see the sex, leaving the main draw intact and "unspoiled."

Thanks for reading and commenting!

A new comment on "How to Mend a Broken Heart

 

[Kumquatqueen]

A few nice comments from followers on my short Valentine's story, which is basically a geeky love letter.

But it was nice to have Anon post "I loved the intelligent way all the sex events were delightfully sewn into the letter and the personal praise, respect, and awareness for her and the obvious lust and heat he felt in her company. Great letter. I wish I had written it."

I suggested Anon could steal as many lines as they wanted and report back. We will see...

A new comment on "How to Mend a Broken Heart

I just re-read it and spotted the eyes, which gave me another smile:

One blue-eyed young woman, dancing alone, gaped at us...
My attention returned to the single woman dancing alone in the distance. Her indigo eyes scrutinized us...
The woman still consumed us with limpid pools of sapphire eyes...
Blue eyes gawked...
Azure eyes, in the yellow dimness, her body almost a silhouette,

(sorry I can't work out how to make the Azure stand out against white. Next story that I write I'm totally going to look at some better eye colour descriptions than I usually do!)

 

[MillieDynamite]

Her eyes were blue, but depending on how the light from the disco ball hit them, they had a slightly different hue. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. But I don't like repeating the same color all the time when her eyes are what catch the person's attention.

The disco ball explanation is great! I love the attention to detail, anyway.
