Comments That Make Your Day

This guy is rather infamous for his abuse of writers in the LW category. So to eke out a compliment from this cat, even a backhanded one made me smile.

I didn’t care for the story, but there is no doubt that you can write. You need an actual loving wife somewhere in the story.
Yes, the infamous 26thNC. I wonder if he is a neo-Confederate, not a mere re-enactor.

O

He commented on my latest. Let me dig it out. Maybe we need. 26thNC thread.

There is already one back some time ago, along with a few other LW cheerleaders like overcritical!

I've noticed a softening of his comments and even some nice ones. Maybe he's finally sticking a foot out of the closet and acknowledging he loves LW stories. He never misses one!

Congrats on Jacobs. The current H score is pretty rare in LW.
 
Got a message:
Re Strength is a Caged Cock , My Love is Like a Red, Red Arse, "Hello, I’ve read both the valentines and first meeting stories of Jacob, Cat, and Sarah, I was wondering if there were any more?"

O reader, you are in luck... possibly. The first two were intense BDSM/fetish, but the third dials those right back, instead torturing the reader with terrible puns... Submissives of Catan

At some point there will be a more filthy fourth story.

Thank you - I know - way better than I could have ever imagined. 1.3K votes? That’s crazy.

I am looking over comments on my stories, deciding which threads to resume and which to finish. I haven't looked at some of these stories in a long time and since I'm thinking of writing more... Here goes.
From my first erotic story "Fear, Lust, and Vanity" -

Hot!
This was amazing! The level of detail and the length of the story were great and really helped bring me in! Plus, of course, all of the girls are HOT!

Good first draft
Good concept and development, but you switched from first person to third person. Also there's too much resume reading through the beginning of it. Everybody knows who these lovely ladies are, you could drop some of the reminders.

I enjoyed the car chase too, that was well done. All in all this has a lot of potential to be polished into something fun.

You lost me on Page 1, with the mention of "thousands of breats". NOT reading 7 pages with a mistake like THAT on the first Page!!!

My response to all this-

"Blame me for spelling errors, editing errors, etc. Blame me for excessive length and niche tastes too. But if you can’t put yourself above all that, and enjoy my story anyway, yeah, you might as well not read my story anyway. Apologies. Hope you found the story you wanted elsewhere. Goodbye & Good Luck!"

Referencing some mantras there. "Goodbye & Good Luck" comes from my college days, the automated course scheduler said that at the end of the conversation whenever I was booking classes. Also used one of my favorite Christian prayers (Yeah, I'm a Christian swinger, deal with it), Mother Teresa's Anyway- "Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway."

In the final analysis, folks, my old stories are the best that I could do. I'm not the prom queen, I know that, (Referencing another mantra of mine from the film "The Rock"), but I can put any woman, any other reader I can reasonably please, in that role if I have to... so... you get the idea, right, audience? I am bigger than these old comments on my stories that I just had time to read today. I can keep improving too. I can get better and do well with future stories. I can redirect people to other writers if my writing fails to interest them. That's the big picture, anyway. :)

Thank you, readers! -AN
 
I have to add this from our own @MrPixel - hope this is not embarrassing him too much.

“Em, thank you. You brought tears, twice. A compelling read. I can feel the characters and easily visualize the settings. Your style has matured so, so much in the short time you have been on LitE. Thank you again for a great story. Keep it up.”

On Jacob’s Progress.

He made me tear up too 🥹.

I love it if a fellow can Keep it up, not much point if he can't, right?

1.3 yeah that's the beauty of LW. Lots of readers, votes and comments.

I liked the story (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) although toward the end it was a little sad because I found myself rooting for both women and especially the children's need for a father.

It was meant to be a little bitter sweet and I felt bad for Riley. I wanted her, Hannah and, Daniel to be friends at least.

In many ways, Jacob isn’t the center of the story. It’s Lucia and Paula. Jacob is a catalyst.

There is a reason that the Epilogue is narrated by Lucia and that the final scene is just her and Paula.

I have my suspicions about which Pixar movie Riley was watching 🤔
 
Best one yet. My ego has been massively stroked and I'm in my happy place right now. :giggle:

Thank you for making Tyra REAL. I'm sick of these writers whose older female characters are described as: "...not changed a bit since he married her 35 years ago," or "...though she was 53 she easily passed for 35..." Those are the empty calories of writing. This was a great, sexy, and well-written story. Welcome to the upper tier of LW writers. I've also noticed that your body of work is diverse and varied, thus belying a depth of creativity and understanding of the human condition.
 
I knew that posting in LW, I'd get a few odd comments but this one made me laugh out loud. He/she is correct though, I never mention birth control in my stories.

Diana is a little over forty years old! She's still fertile! Why is there no mention of contraception? I am infuriated by such a superficial approach, inattentive to details and disregard for such important, fundamental moments that can change the course of the narrative. For example, the author forgot to mention the prevention of fertilization and Diana, about the author's connivance, without thinking about it, got pregnant. Unknown - from her husband or from Henry? What then? That's how, by an oversight of the author, the life and relationships between the characters, therefore, the whole general plot of this story could radically change. It's a good thing that didn't happen. But next time, please be more careful. Ignoring this kind of thing can lead to the fact that your adored and once obedient characters can get out of control, live their own lives and mock your powerlessness to change anything in their now completely unpredictable fate. Believe me, it hurts, it really hurts...
 
on Roses for Erin, my latest. Sadly, it will be a while before it recovers from the 6 one bombs it received shortly after publishing. I'm not bitter... no, wait, I am.

I was literally over th moon when I saw that you'd wrote another story for us. And oh my word, it did not disappoint! As always, just like your other stories, this is a masterpiece. I loved the characters & the plot/ relationship development between them. I was literally hooked from start to finish and really didn't want it to end. Thank you again for another wonderful read. This is now a new firm favourite & I really can't wait for future Onehitwanda stories. Thank you :)
 
Via email:
Wasn't sure what to expect from your AI story. Mixed feelings; good story, well written; heart rending, too close to home, very emotional. Always hard in situations like this where a loved one is gone and yet there physically. Still not come to terms even after such along time. Your story helped, I bet you never realised you provided a social service.
 
From Shouldering the Burden:

I'm 4 yrs into dementia. I feel good but my wife will tell me if I ask...Am I the same? The answer is no but still her man after 47 yrs. She gets mad if I look towards the future to far. She says we will adapt and love each other to the gates of of Heaven together. I hold to that promise from her and God.
Welp, didn't mean to cry today, but here we are.
