Comments That Make Your Day

The little section break code is cute. - On Reignition

It's so much fun to put together my little secrets in my tales. Love it when someone breaks the code.

This was a comment on Kayfabe. It's one of my favorites stories but also my lowest rated one:

This story is absolutely amazing! I have enjoyed all of your work, and am grateful for how well you write--but this one is utterly surprising and unpredictable, and just remarkable. Thanks so much!

ohio

ohio is one of the titans of the Loving Wives category, so hearing that made me feel great all day.

Got this on The Light Between The Trees:

"it’s like you’re taking my biggest fantasy out of my head"

Sew him back up, there was a lot but I think we got all of it.

 

[dasgoodshit]

"Devastatingly good first story"

 

[gordo12]

Nice comment on Homeless today, although he nailed the reality of lawyers pretty well.

Sorry can't believe in a nice lawyer
Otherwise a beautiful story

This one literally made me blush when I read it. It's a comment on "Kim Learns There's No Turning Back," the second entry in my cuckquean story. DestroyedCell wrote:

No exaggeration, this series is one of the best works of erotica I've read in roughly 30 years, on any site, in any newsgroup, anywhere. Like literally within the top 5 or so erotic stories of all time. You are an *expert* writer. The way you weave the narrator's emotional chaos via her internal monologue with the deeply, superbly intense dialogue of all three characters -- oh it's rare and majestic and a thing of beauty. And your enraptured audience clamors for more! Please consider following up with this series! Seriously, a perfect story. This is literature-level stuff. 5+ stars, an A+.

Holy shit. Now that's how to make an author's day.

I received this PM from @joy_of_cooking, who is an author I respect, so I was very heart-warmed.

You have a knack for making me think about the everyday indignities women suffer. Realistic is a weird thing to say about those two series, [Women's World and Rescuing the Fallen] but they are. There is a truth to what you write that holds my attention even when I'm not particularly into your sex. (Not that your sex is technically bad, only not to my taste because of the noncon etc.)

 

[joy_of_cooking]

so perhaps they don't want to admit this openly

Oh, no, it was because I was responding to a comment you quoted in this thread but I wasn't sure at the time how okay it was to spin off side conversations in the thread itself. (I've since learned that AH is pretty tolerant of side conversations...)

Oh!! Haha okay! Sweet!

Comment grammar nerd sniping on Everything We've Been Told Are Lies :

"Everything we've been told IS lies"

Reel 'im in, we're gonna need a bigger boat.

Unless this was a revenge hit from @NoTalentHack

This comment on Queen of the Roller Derby really hit me in the feels.

(slight edit to remove a spoiler)

Tremendous. Damn leaky eyes…. I’m 60, so this is set before my time, but skating was still a hot thing and while I didn't have Kittys tricks, I had speed. Raced a little and was always curious about Roller Derby, not just for the skating but because I somehow knew I’d find like minds there. They just seemed like such strong women, and Kitty is a shining example of their spirit, and courage and endurance. Life took me in a different direction, but I absolutely adored reading this. Thank you

Got this one from Anon on one of my stories today:

"Lobed it."

I’m assuming that’s good.

Heh, I think I struck a nerve. I think I'll file this one as "You can't save all the kittens" and leave it there on the wall as a reminder.

A friend of mine strongly recommended your work, so I chose this as my starting point. Your profile boasts that you're a harsh critic, so I know that you won't mind anyone returning the favour.

While I didn't enjoy this at all, it's clear why your work resonates with so many people. I found the concept to be beautiful. If I were to praise anything, it would be your commitment to the idea throughout the document.

But that's where things start to unravel here. This is a piece of erotic literature and I never felt aroused for a fraction of a second. That would be fine if the work was propped-up by a strong romantic connection between multi-dimensional characters, but the quality of your writing lets you down.

The dialogue is lazy and lacks both effort and imagination. Despite the theme, realistic conversations don't flow in the manner that you've chosen. They have far more depth to them, especially in scenarios so remarkable that you've chosen to write about them in the first place. If your characters don't believe believe in the concept, why should the reader? There are conversations between strangers at bus stops, on Monday mornings, that are more enthralling than this.

Strangely, that approach bleeds over to your narration. Undoubtedly, you've attempted to do so for style purposes, which is fine, but there's a balance to that approach and you've went too far with it. It's clear to me that you wish for your readers to view your structure as poetic, but it lacks the required sharpness to the degree where a first-time reader, like me, will just conclude that you rushed your way through the piece. When your work is so simple and targets tabloid readers, you can't complain when a broadsheet audience concludes that your writing is completely bereft of sophistication and effort.

Before I started my feedback, I lifted my phone to send a message to the friend who originally recommended your work to me. It struck me that your story wouldn't be out of place as an extended text message or WhatsApp conversation. There's nothing poetic about that.

38/100 -

Wanna thank @MajorRewrite for this one on my newest, Pornville. Made me laugh.

I was sure the beach scene was going to include a tentacle monster. So disappointed. Haha.

Sorry, my friend; crammed a LOT into that story, couldn't quite...slither...that in.

Maybe the sequel.

Oh yeah. This dickhead showed up over in the comments of one of oneagainst’s stories, too. No favorites, no follows, no stories of their own, yet they reference the goings on in AH. Always dismissive and insulting, too, belittling a writer’s style or skill. Methinks there’s a troll in our midst.

I got one of those ##/100 comments too. And with a forum reference to boot. They're going around I guess! Mine was from anon tho.

I can't break the code, but I'm loving reading the story!

My latest story in Loving Wives is "What Were You Thinking?" about the swinger couple, when the wife gets mad at her husband. She tells him she wants a weekend without him at their mountain house, then the husband discovers she's meeting another guy there.

This could be my story. Not sure how it makes me feel but it does not get anymore realistic than this.

In October, I posted the story "A Gathering of Trolls" in LW to poke fun at them. I got this comment:

How disappointing. Here I thought this was going to be a story about the Authors Hangout.

By the "rule" though, not a deletable comment: they (a) put their name to it and (b) expressed an opinion on the structure and the content of the work. While it's harsh, I'm definitely leaving it to stand because of this. If they're scanning AH, then feel free to jump into the conversation. Some of the best food critics in the world would probably burn water if they had to cook, but still have thought-out comments on how the food tastes. Happy to get an opinion in AH, since it's exactly built for that purpose.

I was watching a marvelous Canadian TV series called Murdoch mysteries tonight. It's the NCIS of Canada, and sent in the very early 20th century. The most recent episode was about pornography. The comment form the constable about the 'evidence' he was reviewing, that is my new favorite comment of all time, even if not actually on Literitica, was, "Now, what this woman and the octopus think they are accomplishing here is simply beyond me..."
