Comments That Make Your Day

Here it is. I think it's an odd review. But I know it upset her. Despite her claiming she doesn't pay attention to reviews, sometimes they get under her skin. She said her best response is not to respond at all. She doesn't believe in defending her work.
I can defend my work, I don't need to defend this story. It has 4.58 rating here (at the moment). Has made me money on sales sites. If it is too intelligent for him, it says more about him than me. I don't write down to readers. Some of my writing is pure crap, I know that. This one wasn't.

I thought it was a pretty positive review overall. Even her view that you were too verbose can be paraphrased as 'I don't think most of the audience will be smart enough to appreciate this.' Which still sounds like praise to me.
 
Lefthanded though it may be. LOL, Mary's wrong. I wasn't bothered by the review. I was a bit confused by it. I don't view the story as purely erotic. After all, it's erotic horror. And to me, beauty itself is seductive and erotic. But yes, it was a review I feel was mostly positive. I don't know what an average reader is or isn't.

Great story. I dominating women cock teasing a poor guy but the guy ultimately cuts through it and teaches her a less that she winds up loving. The cockteasing at first makes me angry but then grabs me by the balls in pulls me along, determined to see this through to the fucking end. John Vandermeer, what a bastard you are. But I'll be waiting for your next story. Eagerly. Thank you so much.

That was posted by a clearly non-english native speaker regarding my femdom romance novella A Semester in the USA. That was my first story on Lit, and i consider it a bridge between my simpler preLit stories, and everything I have published here since. Which makes the possitive comment so much sweeter. The fact that a relatively naive effort made a readers day. Then again, maybe its not naive but pure. And what is not to like about that?

Okay, you can defend your work. I just never noticed you doing so. ;)
 
I just got this comment. This guy also only has one story. It's short, but very clever. (It's also better rated than mine, for good reason. It's excellent.)

Great story — well plotted with great attention to details that ring true to anyone who has spent time trying to hit things from afar with small chunks of metal. I loved the old Alfred Hitchcock Presents series when I was growing up, This would make a dandy plot line for one of those. :) 5*
 
Okay so the title of this thread is "Comments that make your day" but it doesn't specifically state that they have to be comments on your stories, right? Well I saw someone else's comment on someone else's story, and I laughed way too fucking hard.

Okay, so today in the new LW stories, I noticed a pretty non-standard title:

"WIFE PEED ON ME WHILE I ATE MY MEAL"
Now with a title like that, in the Loving Wives category, I immediately went to the comment section, just knowing that it was gonna be a shit-show. And of course I was correct.

8 people (at time of writing) clicked on that story just to read it (or perhaps not) and post some variation of "Wrong Category" and immediately I'm reminded of the "Dead Pigeon - do not eat" clip

Anyway, that's funny enough, by itself. But the last comment caught me off guard and really made me cackle.

 
Pfft. Clever my ass.

I went to check his story. No surprises: a misogynistic cartoon with a strong Dixie stench. A ridiculously wicked and foolish wife is outplayed by her supposedly righteous husband. Applause. For dessert, the bitch is also dying of cancer.

For a moment, I questioned why I was even engaging in that wretched place. But then I reminded myself that it's merely a few hundred sociopathic, clamorous baboons voting and commenting.

No soul. No heart. No compassion.
As mentioned, this thread is about comments that make your day. Positive things! Not pissing on everything people post. Keep your opinions to yourself and start your own thread if you want to make posts like that.

Why I let Anon comment on my stories: sometimes he says things like:
This has to be one of the hottest stories here. I was mesmerized, intensely jealous, and very turned on. Thank you for writing it and posting.
Strength is a Caged Cock

Also 'Fantastic storytelling' on a story which rated quite well, but had no comments for years. Switching at KinkCon The audience for switches is even smaller than for femdom...
 
I got this one this morning on "Homeless." It's my new favourite.

I will not read anymore of your stories. I spend too much time with tears in my eyes. Time for me to register with Literotica so you can be in my first five favorites!"

It just made my day!

Post your comments when a fan makes your day.
:D
@Tilan
This is the post that started this successful chain. I've bolded the relevant words in case you miss them.

Your post(s) does not come across as SATIRE. They come across as a bitter old man screaming in the wilderness because nobody can stand to be around them.

I'd appreciate you sticking with the spirit of this thread in the future.
 
On Also-Ran, my relatively well-concealed X-Men AU that I smuggled into Loving Wives:

Dude… why? Why did you have to do this to me??
I fucking love Wolverine, and Cyclops has always been a tool.

But also

"I've heard that hell isn't the flames and the torment, but no longer being under the eye of a loving God." Now that's pretty damn deep. Don't recall if I've seen anything that deep on this website.

and this very kind note from @The_John_Yossarian

Look at the following paragraph. This is why NTH is light years ahead of 99% of the other writers on this site, present company included. He says more in this simple yet perfectly constructed paragraph than most can say in a half-page of rambling, formulaic exposition. Learning the rules, breaking them, and then seeing things a smidgen differently is what this writer does.

***His manner had shifted to one that was almost affable. But something hid there, a joke concealed behind the pleasant façade. He was laughing at me. By the way, Jeanne pulled in on herself, she was in on the joke but didn't find it nearly as funny. I stared daggers at him, ignoring his outstretched hand, then nodded dismissively. "Safe travels."***
-
Too often, writers' 'revelatory' moments are overheard pillow talk, a phone conversation, or the old standby of surveillance. No, NTH (a misnomer if there ever was one) lets us SEE the essentials through the eyes of his characters. This a perfect example of "show versus tell."
-
This amazing imagery and allusion continue throughout this and his other work. Even the clichés, as they must inevitably exist in an LW BTB story, are smoothed over, repainted, and decorated like a refurbished cruise ship or a house flip. The original bones are evident, but it's all new and different, too.
-
Another thing OP does is write realistic parents and in-laws. Most stories create parents and in-laws that are like the late-sixties retired, whether the MCs are in their twenties or fifties. Here, they are probably late fifties, still working.
-
This is profound: [I hadn't realized it before, but it's true what they say: the problem with rose-colored glasses is that all the red flags just look like flags.] That's original and compelling.
-
Simply put, OP tells us a compelling story of what MANY, if not most marriages, have (or suffer from) to one extent or the other: unequal love. Yes, it's true, and love ebbs and flows between two people. That's why people marry--it binds them during the unsure phases. This is a REAL story. It encompasses and describes one of the real situations people face, albeit in an intense and dramatic way.
-
Mostly, OP beautifully described Gehenna. Fifty-thousand, buhl-lions stars for this one. (apologies to Dr. Sagan)

Write the shit that tickles your fancy, folks, and write it the very best you can. The readers will come.
 
😁 😁 😁
I guess it is a coincidence that this guy is literally using your own terms and expressions in that comment. Haha, this is just priceless 😄😄😄
Please never accuse me of defending Tilan, but I'm pretty sure that is an intentional joke. One quick search reveals that "Rottenolman" is not a member on this site.

I think Tilan himself is admitting to being the "Rotten Ol' Man" in question.

It's a troll. As usual. 🙄

I am not so sure. I'd say he was hoping no one will pounce on it or even search for such a member. Either way, it made me laugh so much last night ;)
 
A reference to Tilan and Dumb in the same sentence? I thought he was all-knowing, all-seeing, all full-of-it, genius of Lit.
Have you ever seen (or read) Watchmen?

In it, the villain's plan is to create an existential threat so great, that all the Americans and Russians stop hating each other and unite against a common enemy.

I feel like perhaps that's what Tilan's goal is. He gives the AH a collective target to denigrate, and we all grow closer as a result.

...Or perhaps he's just a narcissistic boob.

But I like to think it's the first one. 😄

I mean, Ozymandias was both, too.
 
It's one thing to come down on Tilan and ask him to stop, it's another when we go on criticizing him. This isn't the spirit of this thread. It's been very successful, and I wouldn't want the AH Moderator to shut it down because the name-calling got out of control.

If you want to continue please start your own thread.
