Comments that make your day

[Comshaw]

I just received this comment on my 750 word story "More Than They Know". I try to be a stoic, grumpy old fart, but sometimes, sometimes an ego stroke by a reader sneaks past my sourpuss facade. When it does, it does feel good, like butterflies and honey biscuits.

An absolutely masterful 750 story. So many of these lack so much detail that the story suffers greatly. Here, the economy of words tells us things without spelling it out. It gets every detail that's really salient across, and doesn't waste a single character. Super difficult to do, and 5 / 5 marks here. Thank you.

If I don't know if make my day is quite the right description. @THBGato just posted this comment on Oh Sweetie

So, I got feedback from a reader of this asking me if I was old_prof's wife! I think they were a little confused by this author's note: "This story benefited immensely from feedback from my wife and from the very talented writer THBGato."

I'm deeply flattered, but as lovely a gent as old_prof is, he's definitely not my wife, nor I his! It did tickle me though (and I hope his real wife doesn't mind). x

Just to be clear, THBGato and I are NOT married. She seems to be a wonderful person who I think I would enjoy knowing and she has given me guidance that I have valued greatly. Bit I.m pretty sure I have the wrong anatomy for her preferences. And I think she lives on a different continent than I do. Oh and I am married to someone else, who I suspect will find this very humorous when I telll her this evening, when she's done teaching her class. And I suspect her wife would object as well.Other that those issues, I suspect I would be very happy were it true.

I guess I will have to be more careful about my wording on those from now on.

Oh and I want to reiterate the end of the author's note that THB was too shy to repeat, still referring to THBGato:

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend reading her stories. They're wonderful.

Advice worth repeating.

Nah, you worded it correctly. This is just another piece of evidence that some readers can’t actually read.

You'd make a cute couple, though.

And it's their only fucking job!

This comment on my Valentines Day contest submission is from one of my favourite people on Lit and means the world to me.

Very kind, and a great writer everyone should check out.

Take a bow, @MaudeBlack

I got a comment on my recent silly story that say it’s

absolute cinema

and I can’t stop laughing at how apt it is.

I got a surprise comment on an older story yesterday from @_robin that absolutely made my day...

As soon as I saw the citation to In the Library with a Lead Pipe at the beginning of the story, I knew the library setting was going to be spot on and very accurate and relevant (as several earlier commenters have pointed out.) That journal is peer-reviewed, it’s the bible for contemporary library science & enlightened practice. I love Vic. The scene when Rosa bathes her is so sweet I had a little cry. Thank you.

It's so encouraging to hear real librarians appreciating a librarian story

For some reason I really love the idea of librarians browsing this site in the first place.

I received a positive comment from an Anonymous reader!

"Omg I love the story you should follow up on this one"

Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but I consider helping yourself to the title of a very successful thread (almost 5000 posts/191 pages) to be pretty low. I have no problem with people starting
comment threads, but find your own title. Don't piggyback on others' success.
Readers here have already expressed confusion as to why there are now two threads with the same title.
Here's the original and still ACTIVE one:

I think that this thread is a good candidate for the application of Hanlon's Razor. I've reported it, although I think that it's likely that the thread duplication was unintentional. Hopefully a mod can help sort out the confusion. In the worst case, if we now post nothing more into the thread, it should recede from memory quickly enough.

@MillieDynamite please read Gordo's post above.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE A THREAD WAR ERUPT OVER THIS.
Let's just let it go and practice peace, love and masturbation
And maybe some rabbit stew!

@grodo12 @Actingup I was confused by the duplicate thread. I thought the other one had run its course. And to be honest, I clicked into this one through my history this time. As in forum.literotica.com/threads/comments-that-make-your-, and just picked the first one in the list. My bad. Sorry. I'll not put the post I made here in the other thread unless this gets closed.
