More kind words from @Smuttyandfun on Flesh for Fantasy:

5 Big Stars and a Favorite! So sensual and so well written. Loved the ending, too.

This was within minutes of the story being published, which is a lovely way to start. Thanks!

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for such a lovely long submission. It’s a joy to immerse myself in the crazy happenings of Discworld once again. You write beautiful tributes to the late, great, and sorely missed Sir Terry Pratchett. We’re blessed that you continue to honour his creativity and do it so well. Bless you and his memory.

This was on Enchantress 3 - The Last Elf

So I had to run this through Google Translate.

Last weekend it was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I got a little behind on the comments. My bad, it took me a while to catch up!

April Fools - Best Friends (2 comments)

1/ How is this not rated higher. Lot of idiots I guess who didn't understand the twist, how thr MC and his wife plotted with Todd to get Corrinne back in the saddle. Love the way the reveal unfolded. And how despite Todd being well endowed, the MC is also really large and got Corinne hooked on size when they dated. "the Doc (Todd with the PhD) takea a backseat to yours truly". Aldo the wife afterwards with "Bedroom -- now!" Hilarious. Sad to see so mamy commenters that didn't see the double twist or didn't understand it or skipped it, then complained. This is a helluva fun 5 stars.

2/ Fun und Funny!

Looove The Frantics ('Ti Kwan Leep') reference:
"There's a Martial Arts comedy skit called 'Boot to the Head'. It's kind of hilarious unless you're one of the getting booted actors in the comedy. Megan was that girl who could do the booting."

11/10 Boots to the head!!!!

Cheatify The Bastard

Revenge is a dish best served cold they say. sounds right

April Fools - Gotcha!

The Gunfighter

@Crazytrane77 commented on Flesh for Fantasy:

Don't normally read E&V stories, but I like this one.


PS There will be a Part 2, right?

Sorry, no plans for a sequel at this time, but it's flattering to be asked, particularly about a category that isn't the reader's usual kink.

A lovely comment from @AchtungNight on Flesh for Fantasy:

That ending was awesome!

I'll assume they also liked the start and the middle, at least enough to keep reading until the end.

From Canaloga (who was my very first follower, according to my Control Panel), on The Countesses of Tannensdal:



See? I told you it was great.

And yes, one of the big challenges of writing the story was maintaining the formal style (inspired heavily by Georgette Heyer) while writing the sex scenes.

@StillStunned - I know I'm not supposed to actually leave the "comments that make your day" in this thread - But if you keep writing the way that you do, you will be a legend around these parts one day. "The Countesses of Tannensdal" was nothing short of masterful, and if you were to put out a book on the market - erotic or otherwise - I would buy it tomorrow!

 

[StillStunned]

I'm left speechless. Thanks for those very kind and encouraging words.

 

[EroticCupcake]

Got this one recently:

"Is this a poly awakening with a happy ending? Does he stay so trapped in his own head that he ruins his own relationships? Does Jett have a dominant awakening and tie him up to finally spell out her needs? How much further can this erotic tragedy spiral before someone cuts it off or finally talks? I can't wait to read more."

Any positive comment where the reader is engaged is pretty damn nice.

 

[StillStunned]

A couple of very encouraging comments on By Voice and By Candle.

@Maydaypilot said,

Perfect. From the tag line, “The heat of its gaze was like hot breath between her legs” to the final punctuation.

And @Bazzle said,

Cracking story.
As a voyeur type angle. You could have given us a little flavour. As she undid her bra, and panties and let them drop to the floor. What colour or style where they? Did her breasts flop or as they pert enough just to hang. You gave us the colour of the dildo.

But all in all very good!

So lovely feedback, as well as something to bear in mind for future works!

And @Maydaypilot added this on Lily in the Stream:

Lily’s day of earthly delights. Wonderful, sexy, fantasy.

This one is particularly welcome, because this is a story that's struggled. Perhaps because the implied cum-kiss at the end, perhaps because readers are offended by my depiction of geese. Who knows? Either way, it's nice to get some positive feedback on what so far has been something of an unwanted stepchild in my story list.

From our own @dmallord …

I fell into the wrong profession! A private school teacher has her own house and immediately attracts the right kind of neighbors without inhibitions. Why did I find this all so plausible - silly me - because of the excellent writing style and the fact that it just might - could have been - possible, I suppose. But I'm going for the good writing. Everyone else is, right?

So, I had a comment from a fellow writer specializing in Loving Wives tales, criticizing my last entry into the Halloween contest for my spelling assets as assists. He also thought I had too much detail. Okay, guilty, I write some stories with details. He closed his short shot across my bow with, "No, I won't support you on Amazon." I know nothing about jmm999, but since he wasn't giving advice but criticism, I'm not too interested in finding out more. I gave a polite reply to him. I don't know why I did that; I should've ignored it.

Oh, he allows votes but doesn't allow any comments on his own stories. That's somewhat of a telling thing.

My favorite comments are the ones saying that my work feels real, which is what I‘m always striving for.

5* again from me!

I’m a sucker for likable, interesting, believable characters. That’s the strong suit in this story. The dramatic tension of waiting for her inevitable wolf encounter and its aftermath is soothed by the also-inevitable happy ending. The use of actual place names is a big plus for me, too.

I could have enjoyed another page or two of adventures on the road, hopefully without another wolf encounter. Perhaps the happy ending was a bit rushed, but it got where it was going, and it’s your story to tell as you choose.

I really appreciate your seemingly flawless editing. That shows your respect for your craft and your readers.

As always, thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.

 

[onehitwanda]

I would like the characters' acquaintance and the birth of love to be described in much more detail than "a date and sex in one day".

 

[MillieDynamite]

I sent him an email through the system. I'm sure he'll do one of four things: A, delete without reading, B, read without responding, C, read and respond (how polite he'll be is anyone's guess), or D, become a new uno-bomber blasting away at MD.

Ha, good luck with that. I bet you scolded him, how you think that will help?

 

[MillieDynamite]

Not so much, a little, maybe. But I hope I got my point across that there's no need to be rude to a fellow writer.

Anonymous comment on Queen of the Roller Derby

Six stars and a comet. This was a fantastic read. Thanks!!

A comet!

How 'bout that?

 

[MediocreAuthor]

So the first chapter of Price Of Embezzlement got a mediocre (lol) reception here on Lit, so I decided to post it elsewhere, just to see how the reception would be.
And wow... It has been surprisingly well received. 20+ commenting the first day, all of which were positive. Here's one of my favorites:

jataylor:
Terrific writing - thank you!
I really love the set up and the rambling train of thought going thru Ruth's head.
And I think the way you portray Brent is also clever. His very matter-of-fact approach still gives a level of agency to Ruth since she has done this to herself. The fact that she's not required to do much now sets up the anticipation.
Excellent work.

 

[StillStunned]

By Voice and By Candle got several very nice comments yesterday.

From Anonymous:

5 Stars. Great story, you have very good writing skills, I'm definitely going to read some of your other works and put you on my go-to list.

From @A_Little_Show_Too:

Well done. Thank you for posting, and good luck in the contest.

And from @Devinter:

Thank you for yet another story. As an absolutely massive fan of cinnamon liquor, I feel personally attacked - but I'm willing to put that aside since I'm a big fan of your work! That said, I have to admit that the first half of this story - great plot, by the way - felt way too rushed for me. I wanted the séance to go on for longer, in particular. I think if you would have padded the story with a bit more details (especially in the first half), it would have soared higher. This felt like a 10k words story told in less than 5k, if that makes sense. Still going to give you a 5-star score, but in truth, it's probably more like a 4,5 for me. Keep writing!

You know what, Devinter, I think you're right. My only excuse can be my frustration that my other entry for the contest never got added to the list, and I rushed this one out. The build-up should have been slower, like you said with the séance, but also before the final sex scene.

 

[StillStunned]

This "Anonymous" seems to be kinder to me than most other authors, judging by what I read on these forums. They added a nice comment on Flesh for Fantasy:

5 Stars, great job, I was rooting for him, but in the back of my mind I knew he'd get caught, guys always get caught. Thankfully she has a sexual sense of purpose and humor.

And @ThatNewGuy had a long and very flattering comment on The Countesses of Tannensdal (redacted for spoilers, in case anyone wants to slog through the whole thing):

Terrific work. Your story has far fewer views than it deserves. You do a masterful job of adopting a very difficult writing style and maintaining a consistent tone throughout.

The descriptions are often evocative, ominous, and beautiful: "Mist ventured out from the safety of crevasses and gorges to send probing fingers oozing up the slopes." As soon as I read that third sentence, I knew I was in good hands. (The Hoary Cripple in your story is also a fun nod to Browning's poem.)

The pacing is great. [...] The intrigue is constantly building. [...] The tension is palpable and the action expertly described. [...] I also like how you trust the reader. [...]

Speaking of nice touches, I thought the ending was pitch perfect. [...]

Really well done!

Thanks, it's lovely to get such specific feedback about what you liked. I put a lot of thought and emotion into the writing, and in retrospect I'm glad the story is being considered on its merits rather than in the context of the Halloween contest. A little under 1000 views in a week is perhaps not much, but with comments like this one and Canaloga's earlier remarks, I'll take it.

ETA: @Devinter also added a great comment earlier on this same page!

 

[EmilyMiller]

Great six-parter, quite a contrast between the beginning and the end. The phases in the story are like different languages and you speak them all so efficiently and so well. "Soft, tender loving, transforming into intense sex, transforming into pain willingly given and received. And she knew it was all the same. All connected." Yes indeed!
