Types of commenters

^^^ Yeah but those are mostly here on the forum.

8-The smoke blower-or so we hope. This person is a spin off of cool story bro. Difference is CSB will tell you how they seduced their teacher, had a foursome, screwed their best friend's mom etc...this guy tells stories we do not want to think could be true. They generally haunt the I/T and Non con sections telling you all about how they got their little sister pregnant or 'really put this snotty woman" in her place. You don't know whether to roll your eyes or contact the local police.

8-The moralist/why are they here-this one we all know and there are many versions, the biggest one here is the type to squeal over cheating, but you'll find them in GM, Lesbian, Trans, because it violates their religious views. They'll hit Taboo, NC, MC and just about everything else...but yet they're in those categories.

You have two number eights. Does that make me the nitpicker? : P

It means you won a No Prize

 

[ADirtyPerv]

The Score Keeper - They always tell you what they rated, and they tend to remove points for the littlest things. You'll see their comments on some of the most legendary stories, putting them in the trash bin because such and so guy was in the story too much. Shit stories usually get a pass. The one I'm thinking of is a rather musky boy, and he misses every fine point I've ever put on a story.

It seems like its about half the purpose of the place these days.

 

[THBGato]

There is also the self-appointed welcoming committee (eg "welcome to lit! What a great first submission! Hope to read more from you!")

That would be me a lot of the time.

Did we also cover the outraged on behalf of the writer at the low score/lack of comments type? (Also me.)

The Begrudging Admirer: "Okay, I wasn't sure this was for me after I read the first chapter, but it's coming along better than I thought. it would."

Both great and also WHAT WAS WRONG WITH CHAPTER 1??????

As my direct report at work says consistently (and annoyingly), "Feedback is a gift!" Sooo, I'm looking for the gift in this listing. I suppose... regardless if you love, hate, or are indifferent to comments, they allow you to categorize the readers (and non-readers) behind them, which makes for an interesting and entertaining forum post and discussion

 

[Erozetta]

The "Death Wisher" - Typically found in Loving Wives. They are so incensed by a work of fiction that they decide an actual wish of death for the author is not only warranted but should be made public. Seldomly comes with a name.

 

[RetroFan]

The "Annoying Grammar Teacher" commenter. This is the critic who faults you for some abstruse point of grammar, where it's obvious that no sane person cares. I confess, I have been this type of commenter in the past. I left a long comment on a well-known, successful author's story about a grammar flaw. He deleted my comment! Later, I thought, Simon, you deserved that. I'm more cautious about criticizing grammar now unless it's a very clear issue and I think the comment can be helpful as opposed to just being dick-ish.

I've had this a lot lately, about the most pedantic things. Maybe because its cold in America and England at the moment, and very hot in Australia people are spending more time indoors out of the weather and have more time on their hands?

Another type of commenter I've encountered is the 'Cuckold Hunter' - who reads every single word of every single story to find out if the male character/s are cuckolds. Not surprisingly they more often than not find the evidence that the male character/s are indeed cuckold, then become angry and condemn the character, story and the author who wrote it.

It's like they secretly like reading these stories for other reasons, but have to appease the guilt to their wounded masculinity by shitting on the writer for writing about a valid and legitimate kink.

Bet they came pretty hard, though.

 

[anthrodisiac]

The Revelation: "I didn't realize I was into this until now. I feel so seen." Can't tell if it's because I did a good job or accidentally jimmied open a lock in your subconscious. Glad I could help, I guess?

Also, the Oversharer: "I came so hard from this." You're welcome.

I'm good with this level of oversharing. I write erotica after all. It's the ones where people admit to things -- like diddling their siblings -- that make me uncomfortable. I get that I write T/I, but that doesn't mean I'm looking for true confessions, y'know?

There's a certain level of pride that goes into being someone's masturbation aid.

But, yeah, true confessions are a bit more...iffy. I write anthro smut, and there is no part of me that wants to know anything about someone's involvement with an actual animal. I haven't seen any, and I'm really, really hoping it's because nobody's tried to write a comment like that, but it was rejected as violating site rules.

 

[anthrodisiac]

Oh, just remembered another. Along the lines of

The "I'll Take Over From Here" commenter:

"Great story. I really see this going in this direction..." - proceeds to outline an entire sequel despite you having put a definitive ending on it.

The Commissioner: "Great story, you know what you should do?" And then proceeds to request an unrelated story that's tailored to their interests, under their parameters, but lets you know they wouldn't actually pay for it.

 

[Djmac1031]

but lets you know they wouldn't actually pay for it.

We should just be grateful for their direction; after all, what would we do without them?

Look, I'm just grateful that someone has story ideas. I haven't had an original thought since 1669.

 

[Smuttyandfun]

This interaction on my story 'Three Little Words' is a perfect example of #5 on your list, where they just started reading the story and flew into a rage before they even what was happening. But at least they apologized once they sobered up.

Any story that depicts a pregnant woman [ Giselle] drinking or an asshole [Chuck Harper, 'Let's have a drink up in my room} ought not to be placed on a public forum. Yes, I know, but it's obvious neither character is referring to tea or lemonade. Too many ignorant readers might be misled to think it's ok.

by You on 11/10/2022

Although I'm not exactly sure what the last comment was referring to, I can assure you that no pregnant women are drinking alcohol in this, or any of my other stories.

by Anonymous user on 11/11/2022

Excellent story. Unfortunately, I was drinking and got at least three different stories confused regarding names., activities, &c. Apologies are due and are humbly offered.

 

[Zootonius]

Great thread. The one type--this is for real--that truly raises my eyebrows is The Reminiscer.

"Love the story. Brings back memories of my time with Mom."

I kid you not.

Good to know I'm not the only one to get those.

 

[ScrappyPaperDoodler]

The Biologist — Sometimes they have a point when something really is pushing the bounds of what's anatomically plausible. Other times, they seem to be preoccupied with the various ways in which the concerning thing about the mother-son gangbang they just read is the risk of infection.

I write anthro erotica, and one of my greatest fears is some biologist showing up and saying, "You know, morphologically speaking, in the wild..."

 

[ScrappyPaperDoodler]

Knock her up! Put a baby or ten in her.

Could be a story with a 70 year old guy and a 80 year old woman.

Often accompanied by the "they should get married" commenter.

"Ohh, that's so cool you got a degree in zoology! Did you get it because you love animals and want to help protect endangered species?"
"Uhm, well, actually, I got it because I wanted to elevate my writing.."
"Oh! So you're an author, huh? Interesting. What do you write? Books? What genre?"
"It's, uh, it's complicated..."
