Comments That Make Your Day

A few really kind ones from 3BR, 2BA, 1 Story, about a divorced couple doing the final walkthrough of their house before putting it on the market:

I don’t give many 5 stars, but this definitely deserves it.

What a great story, full of truth and feelings that come to many reading this, a marriage coming to the end no matter the reason brings with it lots of memories, good and bad, you put it down on here with a great deal of love and respect

Whew dude that was a tear jerker. I don't spend much time in my life looking back on a failed marriage from over 20 years ago anymore but that story really ran me thru the ringer! I am sure many of us divorcees reading this see many parallels to our own lives. I am most shocked I guess by how much pain and anguish that brought back up. Didn't see that coming I thought that was long gone, Anyway obviously 5 stars and thanks dude you can write!!!

So well done. So sad. So poignant. So well crafted. The point that she had the courage to seek happiness (even if misguided) while he twisted his misery into a false sense of fidelity to his wife was painful to read.

One of the most emotionally powerful stories I have read in this site.

And one that didn't make my day, exactly, but which made me feel for the commenter.

Going thru a very similar situation as we speak. Never thought after all these years it could happen. Your story really hit home and was very well written. Kind of sad to read your life story on here.

While s/he's unlikely to ever read this, keep your chin up, Anon. You'll get through it.

With apologies for perhaps laboring the point... even with whatever bombing it has received, it's scoring well above the 95% percentile of LW stories, generating enormous engagement in comments, as well as connecting with people working through traumatic issues. It's a huge achievement to add to your many others - congratulations.

The first chapter of my latest Alistaire series, Alistaire at USC, is out, and in the first 24 hours, I've received 17 comments. This alone makes my day. But there are a few that were really fun in lots of different ways.

@Actingup was the very first commenter (thanks, dude), and wrote a six-part missive that I was gratified to see picked up on a lot of what I'm trying to do with this series. Sorry about the music cues though. That Police song just hit my HomePod as I was writing that passage and it got inserted. There are no more, as of right now.

I think we all like seeing comments like this one from @water_steel24:
Having a rough day until I opened up Lit to see the newest adventures of Alistaire

There were others along those lines, and a lot more that were glad to see I was still alive and writing. All gave me the happys.

Then there is this one from very regular commenter, @Rapierwit24601:
Godammit! You’ve been silent for a long time and I was hoping you had something major brewing. Of course, as always, I was right.

Also, of course, I haven’t read the story. I will wait until the series is finished, and then I will binge, and binge, and binge. Your stories are like praline pecans, can’t stop eatin’ em.
He does this with every series, not reading until it is done. It blows my mind.

To all the commenters out there in the world: Give me moar! Put it in my veins!

You’d better watch out for ‘Alistaire’s bonking playlist’, coming soon to a mixtape near you. Nature abhors a vacuum….
 
Can't please everyone I guess.

That said, I do wish Anon had left more of their criteria on what makes up a "real story."

Did you include a ghost, vampire, werewolf, or gouhl? Sometimes, it requires a non-human character to push the story into the 'real' realm.

I knew from the get-go (my new catchphrase) that I wouldn't win this contest. A) I'm an acquired taste. B) I don't write stories with scores in mind, so I don't craft them with a wide audience in mind. C) I write for me first and the reader second, so no, I don't stand a chance in most contests. I still have hopes, which are at best now fading, of getting to a 4.5.

Got to love it when a reader plays Lloyd Christmas for you. "So, I'm saying you got a chance. Look at me; it was a million to one, but I still had a chance." "How'd that work out for you?" "We're talking about you, not me."

Here's the reality of it.

My chances of even getting to 4.5 seem pretty remote with so few votes, :heart: , and comments. Even so, this comment made my day.

Give me a couple months before I try reading this. My wife of a dozen years and I are currently breaking up.

So, for me.... "I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near"

(If I tried to put all the lines I enjoy from LOTR in the movie lines thread, I'd be typing for two days solid, at least.)
 
“This is the best story I’ve read on literotica.”

“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!”

Two of the more recent comments on Last Few Days of Summer. I can only surmise that they have not read very many stories here but the comments still made my day.
 
Thank you so much! I really hope TX Tall Tales finishes up Town Without Honor one of these days. And that was a very kind comment that you left on my story, too:
I’m pretty sure TWH is done. When his now-ex calls him by his real name, that story was DONE. Anything else is a sequel. I really wish he’d go back and finish It Was Only A Blowjob. That story has a lot of potential just waiting to be tapped.
 
I was really concerned when I posted my first story that I would get some hate for mis-categorizing because 2/3 of a “lesbian” story is from the POV of her brother. This made me feel better.

Yes, it fit the category. It’s just it was so much more. A most fulfilling Valentine’s Day story on all accounts!
A Different Kind of Valentine
 
Okay, not a comment per se, but somebody just ‘favourited’ 18 of my stories. In about six minutes. Which is curious, because I doubt they could have read any of them, but it’s still encouraging.

P.S. Is there a verb for hitting the favourite icon?

Mine too. 16 of them. Very odd.

Lots of people use their Favorites as a "Stories I'm going to read eventually" list!
 
'Crapshooting' has attracted some strong responses in LW, which I knew would happen due to its edgy premise. But some readers have really appreciated it, and it's my second-most read, commented, and favourited story despite a lowish score (currently 3.86 which is a bit below the 60th percentile for recent LW stories). And I had this a few days ago from @Voyeurkenneth (thank you!)

Sure, was the premise a little out there? Yeah. But I can suspend disbelief when the writing quality is absolutely class. Lets me know this author knows what they’re doing, which is one of the qualities that keeps me from exiting a story early.

I thought the swinger dynamics were entertaining and amusing, and I was personally glad not to see it devolve into something darker. The humor was also refreshing and kept me engaged. The ending, as well, had a lightness and novelty to it that I didn’t see coming. I thought it was delightfully unpredictable, yet still conclusive enough to leave me satisfied. Really well done.

Earned 5 stars and a follow from me. Looking forward to checking out your other stories.
 
@THBGato (on semi-hiatus/retirement from Literotica) is always so generous with her comments... and this on one of my 750s (What Develops) just about made me cry 😭

(Also, it's a story about a photography dark room, thus the puns 😅)

Seriously, your ability to quickly conjure characters for the readers is, I think, unparalleled. And all with your trademark compassionate humour too. Love it.

Please say that this snapshot won't be the last time these two are the focal point of your stories? Give us the big picture please. Don't leave us in the dark... x

On YouTube, I sometimes see live streamers ask their viewers to spam something particular, but positive. Like for a football game, they'll say, "come on, everyone! spam "go Chiefs" in the comments section!"

So maybe someone liked one of your stories, figured they'd probably like the rest of them, and decided to give you some supportive spam. 🤷
