Comments That Make Your Day

[Zootonius]

So, a comment that saw exactly what I was after.

I really enjoyed this story. It is a story of love not about sex. They actually loved each other and when they actually ended up having sex they were making love with and to each other, not just fucking each other, there is a difference. I hope that you will continue this story and maybe have them live as husband and wife, after all their last names are different as they had the same mother but different fathers. It is refreshing to find a good story with a great story line.

Defiantly made my day. The problem is, pt 2 is a blank slate at the moment.

From @Fly_Agaric:

" Finally waiting for a new story from you on a favorite topic. I refresh your page every day waiting for your works. [Snip] "

Truly honoured by this. Thank you, Fly, if you ever read this.

Just found this lovely note from @lAnatomiste on Fairytale of New York:

Belongs in "Romance!" :^) :^)

Worth good dozen stars at the least.

It's particularly nice to read this, because the story is struggling to attract much in the way of attention and ratings. Also, it's quite personal - not that I'm calling either my wife or myself a troll, but the story is very much about dealing with introversion in a relationship.

Give it a read - it's only half a Lit page (1.8k words), and there are some references to the best Christmas song ever.

 

[Devinter]

Give it a read

Okay, you've convinced me.

... ... ...

God fuckin' damnit. You've done it again. It's an absolute masterpiece. You have moved me with your words, good sir - and I applaud your boundless talents.

I just got another wonderful comment on Fairytale of New York! Thanks, @Devinter!

I'll admit to tearing up as I was writing. Who knew a junkie troll could make me so emotional?

 

[Devinter]

I'll admit to tearing up as I was writing.

But the real magic is how you capture the essence of that, and manage to paint it up so vividly for your readers.

I was quite emotional when I wrote the suicide scene from The (un)Lucky Girl, because of what the moment meant to me, but I don't think I managed to share even one tenth of what I felt with my readers. I mean, sure, most people probably went " that's quite sad " when they read that part - but your story hits like a sledgehammer. And not just once.

And another great comment, this time from @ThatNewGuy:

A lovely fairy tale and a fitting tribute that manages to capture some of the song's sense of melancholy.


I appreciate how you portrayed an introvert's feeling of sinking deeper and deeper into oneself. Such a bizarre mix of comfort/satisfaction and loneliness/pain.


I particularly liked the paragraph that begins, "It filled him up, and made him feel hollow." What a wonderful set of contradictions that paragraph conveys.


It's difficult to generate genuine emotion in a short fantasy piece that doesn't allow much space for the characters to breathe (in this case, literally). But you pull it off. Well done!

Lots of lovely comments on my Christmas story, If Only In My Dreams , but this one really got me in the feels.

 

[StillStunned]

And another very kind comment on Fairytale of New York, this time from @Smuttyandfun:

5 Stars! Brilliantly executed! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks!

And another very kind comment on Fairytale of New York, this time from @Smuttyandfun:

Thanks!

I was blown away, it was so good. It's the type of story that stays with you, too. And I'm thinking I might have to go back and read it again, because you really painted a picture.

That was a beautiful story - (Not an adjective I use often when I comment)

 

[StillStunned]

Yet another lovely comment:

It's a christmas miracle, so of course 5*. I liked the pacing and the way you managed to build a world and delivery a HEA inside 1800 words!

But, I was expecting them to be singing "Galway Bay"

Thanks, @oneagainst! I should add that the song the crowd is singing at the end is in fact the opening line of "Galway Bay" (not the "official" lyrics, apparently, but that's how my granddad used to sing it, so there).

 

[StillStunned]

@Bazzle chiming on on Fairytale of New York too:

Nicely done!

Thanks!

“Magnificent! A fine tale from beginning to end. The story was essential, the sex the spice, the background dreamy. I can imagine many story lines with current and new characters pulsing from this author's imagination. I was so glad that Callie found her way to accept that love doesn't have to be with just one person. Love expands to many with an open mind. Please continue this series!”

Thank you @Campus77. I wrote “The Institute of Hedonism” in some kind of daze. I’m glad someone gets it!

This comment made me quite happy:

" I can honestly say that I haven't read any better description of what intercourse feels like from the female perspective as this."

I appreciate that very much, thank you. The comments on this story have been amazing.

Fairytale of New York is generating more comments than I'm used to, for the number of views and ratings. Not bad for 1.8k words without any explicit sex scenes. Not bad for a lovesick troll.

@Devinter added these flattering words overnight:

Stunning. Breathtaking. Original. Brilliant. Another absolute homerun from you, as far as I am concerned. Maybe your best work yet, honestly. I hope you win the competition with this. You are an inspiration, and I raise my glass to you tonight. Cheers!

Thanks! Unfortunately it's short on ratings: only 24 so far. Early on someone dropped a 1 and a 3, and they're really dragging down the average.

You tell 'em there are spoilers but they have to press on... comments on the retrospective How To on the writing of the Wonderland saga (Building Wonderland):

"Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the face! I had to stop reading this halfway through, once the spoilers seemed to be reaching beyond where I've traveled. I'd better saddle up and hit the road!"

@djrip and I bet you look at a "Wet Paint" sign and just have to check if it's true.

 

[oneagainst]

And on Only Consenting Adults finale:

"An amazing interconnected world of compelling, believable but totally-off-the-curve characters. Or are they?"

Yes, @flynn99 some of them really are. Keep an eye out. She's not happy.

I seem to be flooding this thread. This one's from the lady above:

Dark and different, and so much the better for both.

Thanks, @onehitwanda!
