Comments That Make Your Day

[MillieDynamite]

I may have posted this one before, but it is one of my all-time favorite comments. It's because of the high standards @26thNC hold writers to.

And now I have another one to go with that one, though I've never been skewered for a lousy story by this person.

And this one was on aa 750-word story!

This has to be my favorite type of comment:

Just as good on the third read

Well, one of my favorite kinds. Top 3 easily.

Constructive criticism from @yowser on Ben's Big Mistake:

Intriguing set up, unexpected turn, nice ratcheting up of excitement. I think paring down by a quarter would leave you with a tighter story without sacrificing the scene. (A little too much 'heart pounding' descriptions, etc.) Love to hear some situational details (the office arrangement, whether the door is shut, any chance of discovery, etc.) Sweet.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

OK, I have a Sci-Fi & Fantasy series Do Androids Dream of Electric Love? that is going along with the help of VallesMarineris on technical and FreyaGersemi on editing. It is not (by a long way) the most read of my stories and the voting is odd with 1 bombs, I kid you not! So it does make my day when I get encouragement like this, that is not from collaborators - theirs is great as well.
This is on Part 4 To Deal With The Danger You Know that I haven't yet (as it's new) added to the series.

Thank you. Keep going, I like the android/gynoid family.

Part 5 is definately in the works and both Freya and Herman* have told me that there is more.

Alex.

*Herman is an android and legally a person and acccidentally over endowed, who keeps telling me things, or is it the Historian of the Latter Age?

Got this one this morning. Love it! Made my day.

fuck me, I wanked every two pages! I think this has to win the Noble Prize for debauched literature. and if that category dosen't exist, then ditch one of the rubbish ones, like chemistry. Awesome!

Could you tell us the name (or, better, the link)? The author search function on the story side has been down since Saturday. I don't know how else to look at your stories.

LOL. Sure. Link to all my stories is in my sig, but this one was for "Save Some Seed of the Lord For Me", which has it's flaws and needs a rewrite, but, well, someone really enjoyed it!

Here you are..... The Christmas Mass of the Order of Loving Devotion to the Blessed Magdalene

 

[StillStunned]

@AG31 just left this comment on Flesh for Fantasy, one of my earlier stories here but the one that set me on the path of writing voyeurism:

Splendid. 5 stars.

Short and sweet, just like the story! Thanks for reading and commenting (and the 5 stars of course)!

Learning to stand still earned me the sweetest comment yet.

It’s gems like this that brings me here.

A few comments on my 750-word story A Cold Dish, and I'm very proud of them both, but for different reasons.

@Bazzle asked:

Did you have heartburn at the time of writing?

(I bet you're all dying to find out what he means. Go on, it's only 750 words.)

And @FreyaGersemi flattered me with these lovely words:

Loved it!! Your writing is always so wonderfully descriptive and emotive and to be able to do that in just 750 words is outstanding!! 5 stars!!!

Thank you both for reading and commenting!

ETA: and this from @des911:

Damn, that's twisted. Brilliant!

Thanks!

 

[StillStunned]

The score's taken a hit, but the nice comments keep coming.

From @GreyMatter46:

Nice twist at the end. Something about a dish best served cold. thanks

And from @NoTalentHack over on Bluesky:



Thanks for reading and commenting, both of you!

Two great sorts of comments on the Neighbors chapter of Alistaire at USC:

@teasegazette about 13 hours ago
Love how the series is evolving for sure!

Would personally like to see a little more of the story building along with the great sex scenes. It’s great as is right now but the chapter feel a little shorter than your previous series. If I’m incorrect, my bad!

@Vashoncouple about 13 hours ago
Loving this, just like all of your writing.

One request. I know a lot of readers like short stories. Something longer old be great. Not a 50,000 word short novel, but maybe 15,000 words, or 4-5 Literotica pages, even if that spreads out releases a bit

Thanks for sharing your writing with us. 5*****

At 6K words, it is a little short for an Alistaire story. But I love that what both are asking for is more story, not more sex.

Anonymous about 13 hours ago
So glad you’re back.

Each awesome in its own way.

I do think that Alistaire was too hard on himself about Liz. Relationships don’t all have the goal of being in love. It didn’t seem like he was a shitty boyfriend or using her. And great sex can be blinding. So after his initial emotional response I thought he’d have realized he didn’t “hurt” her or do anything wrong, just as he realized she didn’t do anything wrong breaking up with him.

I like that people like Alistaire enough to defend him against himself! That said, I always make Alistaire too hard on himself. It is part of why he succeeds.

@BenLong read A Quiet Woman and enjoyed it:

Very nice of your stories that I read I just might have to check out some more

Don’t we always wonder about our neighbors? What they are up to, what they think, what they do in private? In particular, do they ever imagine what you as their neighbor is seeing or thinking? You have caught it all very well.

And @Eosphorus left this on A Cold Dish:

I’ve rarely seen a twist so perfectly served-up. Masterfully told and set up, especially given the constraints of the 750 word format. Congratulations on this. 5 ️’s all the way!!!

Thanks for reading and commenting, both of you!

It's not all happy thoughts, though. @lujon2019 was confused by one of the characters in "A Cold Dish", the Comte de Labec:

isnt comte a cheese?

Perhaps they were thrown off by the story's title.

It is a good story...BUT

Good story! Still hope there is more of the "classic" bazzle stories coming soon, like "fat drunk chain smoker" or "miss enid kirkwoods academy" (part three cries for a next part) or some new story about some drunk, fat, alcoholic chain smoking girls who enjoy wetting and sharting themselves and dont care about body hygiene

I know the majority on here don't like my stories...but there are some that do.

I might be catering for the few.

Cara's Ski Trip Breeding by Daddy - comment: "Your English is good and spelling correct"

Absolutely smashing it!

Beautiful story

Yes, Chemistry... pffft. replace with Porn

That's one of the things I like about Literotica. The readers. Whatever you write, whether it be stories without sex, or sex without a story, there's always readers who enjoy it. Combine both and do it well and you have a winner

Absolutely - the comments that say "I skipped the sex scene to get to the story" - it really means something as an author

LOL. I've had that a few times. I'm probably going to try going mainstream with one or two of my stories and see how they make out in the broader market. Be fun to try anyhow.

I'm doing that now, with my first story. I want to expand out of Lit. But... let's just say I missed a lot of key plot points. Other option is to write new from scratch, but I don't know if that's the best approach if I have all these stories on Lit already that could just need a bit of editing

That's what I'm doing in part. Some new ones, and some existing from Lit that I'm editing and rewriting and generally improving. Been working on it for a couple of years but finally getting close.

I've had someone say something similar but different a few times over the years. "I normally skip the sex, but read this one straight through!"

Love those comments.

 

[Erozetta]

These have all been extra appreciated lately. All of these are on two submissions here. Neither one is a story so much as a glimpse into my life and the experiences that have gotten me here. Both are under reviews and essays, neither one is really either from a technical aspect. Ramblings is more accurate.

What I Wrote and Why: Silence​

Powerful stuff!

by yowser  on 07/17/2024

Searing. Your perseverance is exemplary, and I hope remains productive.

by FreedomBase  on 07/18/2024

You're a genius. In this dark world where no word of opposition is permitted, say ~ for example ~ The Truth about the Vaccine, you're a ray of sunshine. Thank you for showing a pathway. I'm not certain it's universal; but it's one of them. Thanks for writing.

by Norway_1705  on 07/20/2024

Great! "Little soldiers fighting for truth, // ready and at my command."
In some ways you reminded me of the character Alexander Hamilton from the Musical: not as a military commander in Yorktown, but as a writing addict, as if there is not enough time to write everything he would like to write. Together with two others they decided to publish the Federalist Papers in six months ... the first wrote 5, the second wrote 28, but he wrote 51 !
From the Musical: "Why do you write like you're running out of time? Write day and night like you're running out of time? Ev'ry day you fight, like you're running out of time" (song "Non-Stop" by Mr. Burr and Choir)

If I may share my thoughts, the mix of emotions I feel as a mother and grandmother brought tears, the a sense of pride and then an emotional breath of relief. You are amazingly strong and one of the bravest people I have met here. To you I offer support, hope, and yes, love. Love of a kindred spirit in your words and expression.

You are a guiding light for others! Rise! I challenge you to rise above and know you are a voice through your words to so many!

Bravo!! Bravo!!

Storytelling as catharsis, writing is more fun and cheaper than therapy, really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing

by Lotus_Kitty  on 11/21/2024

Hell yeah, words are your arsenal, your army. Words are power. May you never be voiceless nor silenced again. May you have healing and respect.

by alextasy  on 02/01/2025

The pain and anger and occasional sadistic glee come through in your stories. There's nothing wrong with that. It sounds as though you're working it out. You're correct--writing is such marvelous therapy.

A technique I've heard many times for writers is to read your work aloud, to catch the rhythm and the voices of the narrator and the characters. That may offer other benefits in your case.

Thank you for your gifts. Keep writing.
=Alextasy

by Anonymous user on 02/02/2025

"writing is more fun than therapy. Cheaper, too." Exactly so! Therapy and writing are so similar in that you keep recasting your ideas again and again until they finally coalesce into a deep, orderly and meaningful totality. At least that's the goal. At any rate you can think better without the therapist's constant interruptions and you don't have to be pissed thinking about how you are paying them to break your train of thought with irrelevant questions and observations. Thank you for gifting part of yourself to us through your writings! 5 stars.

by Actingup  on 02/04/2025

Thank you, Erozetta, for laying it all out there, exactly as intended. I'm sorry to have missed the stories that you took down, but surviving (and thriving) comes first. More strength and power to your bow. XXXXX

You are such a good writer. 5*

by Migbird  on 02/18/2025

Last line captures the essence. Conversely I wonder how well we “know” ourselves as we shed one image for another depending. Not to get serious, but piece thoughtful poetic prose. Nice.

Darkly wonderful!

by Eosphorus  on 36 minutes ago

What a beautiful yet melancholy meditation. You have true insight into the human condition. I was moved throughout. Then I got to the last line and it floored me.

Can you tell this really resonated with me? 5 well-deserved stars!

 

[NoTalentHack]

An extremely kind one on 3BR, 2BA, 1 Story:

A 5 of course. Fundamentally sad, but mutual honesty and thoughtful hope for rewarding but separate futures can be better than many "reconciliations."

And great writing. "We had dug the chasm between us together, moment to neglectful moment and drip by indifferent drip." Even the cadences, ending with the percussive "drip." One can't go to a class to learn to write like that. That comes from a mind that is already a writer. It makes me jealous, but I still love to read it. So thanks for writing it.
