Comments That Make Your Day

I received a lovely comment for my Valentine's Day submission, Cupids Misfire. Finally, I know someone understood the story, exactly the way I intended to be. This comment really made my day.

Thank you @faithful101.

Different!

I loved it! It was creative and free of overused cliches. The Sam character is highly unusual: a force of nature yet tender and vulnerable, a hard driving no nonsense boss who nonetheless encourages free ranging exploration by a subordinate, a passionate caring lover who encourages her lover to explore opportunities with other women to discover what he really wants most in life. Both characters were primarily pursuing genuine love with sex as one of its elements rather than primarily sex that later inspires love as one of its consequences. Both characters showed deep respect for the other before any other emotions arose, and those other emotions sort of grew from this preexisting foundation of respect. I also enjoyed the fact that the whole story arose from a practical joke that could potentially have led to a wide range of other possible outcomes, making it rather unpredictable and exciting. Unequivocally 5 stars from me!
 
Received this comment yesterday on my latest story Losing His Virginity. I enjoy when I connect with a reader through their personal experiences.

This is in the top 3 story's I have ever read here .and I have been reading here for a long time. It has everything young boy older woman being taught how to please and be pleased .there are many similarities here to my first time.
 
Wowser! My oath! To right, mate. That's a bloody Aussie, alright. Pass the bloke a tinnie and throw the rest of the riot pack in the Eskie.

LOL. The words sound familiar but streuth, it's another language.
You're not just whistling Dixie. Apparently, according to my US source material.
 
Yeah, nah. Wowsers? Strewth. Sounds like someone else going off like a raw prawn. Manchurian, maybe?
Whatevs. Happy to have fans from anywhere.

In the meantime, I knew my latest story would be rather Marmite (love it or hate it), and predicted comments would be either complaints about being long and too much chat and science and not enough sex, or enjoying the conversation and banter and characters (and the sex).

And presto:

Sorry, but 7 pages about two people waffling on just doesn't do it for me.

vs Somaslave's:
What an amazing story! Maintaining a high level of quality writing and sexiness across that length is quite an achievement. I salute you...though I may never listen to the Nature Porncast, er, Podcast, the same way again.

Can't say I don't know my audience! I recall James had the same complaint about various of my other stories. In any case, he's mistaken - it's actually three pages of two people waffling, one page of them doing other things, and three pages of blow-by-blow sex - though half of that is at the end of the story, and there's only mentions of sex on the first page. I suspect he didn't read beyond that.
 
I was surprised to see a number of comments on my latest story–a 750-word one that deals with end of life. The comments have been positive. This one stands out:

"A metaphysical tale in 750 words...

...I think that's a first !

Five stars, favorited, and, very nicely done."

With time on my hands, I'm working on an expanded version with more 'metaphysical stuff.':)

Chloe, I say this with the utmost respect and admiration, but my eyes are bleeding from having read that attempt at the lingo… 😎
 
I'm quite surprised that my new 750-word story The Hardwood Son: A Fairy Tale has only received one comment so far. The voting hints at some strong opinions, with quite a few 1s being dropped already.

But in the midst of the carnage, @Eosphorus was kind enough to leave these encouraging words:
This was a really cool, original story. You really nailed the cadence and feel of a fairy tale. All in 750 words! Loved it!
Thanks for reading and commenting!

You piqued my interest so I had to read it. Left a comment. 5⭐

I used to be better at it but I'm out of practice. I shall have to get on zoom with my Aussie cousins and work at it.

Overnight a whole bunch of comments came in:

From @shelleycat1:
Liked it, you got some emotion into it although IT not my thing. And I liked the repetition of the phrases.

From @AG31:
I normally don't read fantasy at all, but I was intrigued when I heard that this story had received an unusual number of low scores, and, then, there was the 750 word count.

I thought it was a really well done elaborate pun. Couldn't have been done better. Gave it 5 stars.

Maybe it's getting low scores because there's no "incest" warning, only a mother-son tag, and a lot of people have strong negative feelings about incest.
(I didn't add an "incest" tag because the story is in the I/T category. I realise now that I should have, though.)

From @Actingup:
I'm glad that, should she be charged with incest by the local indecency police, there is at least one bush lawyer in the commentariat here prepared to defend her! Thanks for an earthy and relatable tale. I hope that she had enough wood left to make a cricket bat for him as well.

And from @Rob_Royale:
Very good! A very emotional faerie tale. Well done.

As to why some people didn't like it? Well, there's this from @sexymeup:
not incest, wood came from somewhere else and not related, she just made a wooden dildo, lol

And Anonymous seemed angry that a story with "A Fairy Tale" in its title should be a fairy tale:
Wow, you still waiting to grow up and lose the juvenile delusional? That was silly and a complete waste of time.

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

It's not Aussie, that's for sure. That's a set of fifty year old cliches.

It's like defining American culture by what went on in 1972.

LOL. It's actually rather interesting to see how fast the vernacular changes. Even those online slang dictionaries are mostly out of date.

I thought about suggesting that you put a warning at the top, as some authors do, if you ever edit it, but that would give it away. What about having the hubby replace the son?

It's in I/T, so that should be enough warning. And as one of the comments already showed, some people don't consider it to be incest anyway. I'll just leave well enough alone.

In the meantime...
@Kumquatqueen left this:
Aw, gender-swap Pinocchio! Sweet.
I actually only realised that this morning.

And @dmallord added:
Wood he do her again the next night? In the moonlight, wood he step up to the plate one more time? Wood he knock her for a home run again? Wood he creat a brother by his mother?

LOL. Nice tale with plenty of imagination. At first I though it was a manger scene about to unfold. Stereotypical, I hesitated at the the thought of a woman carpenter, then thought, 'Why not?' And let it go.
I reckon he wood.

Thanks for reading and commenting!
 
For Chasing You, Finding Me: as a new writer here, I feel this is far more praise than I, or the story, deserve. I spent an eternity in the editing process (mostly because I'm an idiot who can't keep characters or story beats consistent), and I'm just so thankful it's being recognized.

@redgarters, this made my day. Cheers.
Happy to have made your day ❤️ I stand by my words, and I think you did an excellent job with your editing. I know how that feels, endlessly going through the text over and over again, picking at it, rewriting, fussing over consistency. Its gruelling, but worth it in the end. Good job! Keep writing, you have an obvious talent.

P.s. I need a series of 'Diamond Eyes' Evans books, where the relentless, ruthless agent goes after despicable criminals with cold determination and a baseball bat, her loving thief joining in as a special advisor with a knack for under cover work. Can we make that happen pls? Oh, and steamy sex, lots. I can haz, yes?

Oh. Sorry. I thought it was in Fantasy. I guess I was just too influenced by the title. Yeah, that should be sufficient.
 
I enjoyed this one, today, for my story Personal Chef:

Ouch! That was so hot, I almost ripped my dick off. You seem to have the ability to write what we wish we could experience, and do it very well to boot. You wonderfully tortured us, and set us up for the finale that we hoped would finally arrive. And when it came, so did I. Thank you!
 
A few more comments on The Hardwood Son: A Fairy Tale.

@Lumiere_Amie's comment took a long time to get through moderation:
THAT is a creative inest story! Bravo!
And @Ghostwriter100 also recognised the Pinichio angle:
Well damn, never saw this twist on Pinochio! Good job!

In the meantime I plugged my older voyeur story Pas de Trois over on Bluesky, and @Eosphorus checked it out and left these kind words:
Wow. This story is the definition of hotness. 🥵

It jumps right into the action and keeps the intensity. It’s also exactly the scenario I would’ve most hoped that the narrator happened to spy. And the ballet instructor dancing nude afterwards was a wonderful touch.

This one really delivered the goods. I can’t praise it enough! 5 very well-earned ⭐️’s!
... and over on Bluesky he added:
This one should come with a heat advisory warning! 🥵 Well done!
(I agree that the scene with the ballet dancer by herself at the end is what makes the story.)

Thanks, everyone, for reading and commenting!

I mean, I can offer part two in a couple of months. If it ever turns into a book series ("Law & Disorder"?) you'll be the first to know.
