Reader Feedback

The first erotic fiction I ever posted was on Literotica back in 2003. Much of it was because I read some stuff that was really ordinary and thought I could do better. I must say that in many cases, I did. One of the mistakes that I made early on though was to write quickly, give it a one over and publish. There was little thought to editing. This, combined with the lack of re-submission friendliness of the Literotica website meant that spelling errors, name errors and other things that made it through my own writing process remain there to this day.

Of course for some people, they are only now discovering these stories for the first time now. Its great that they get to do so and unfortunate that I haven't been able to go back and re-edit and re-post (though I've done that in turning some of my stories into e-books). 

Sometimes that means that even though something is over 10 years old, people still leave feedback that if they'd checked when it was posted, they might simply not have bothered to leave. Typically they're not the first ever person to have found one of my typos or spelling errors!

I've had some feedback recently that just made me shake my head, but then I thought why not share it and the responses that I haven't bothered sending (because most of the time these people leave this stuff anonymously:

--------

Too long for me !! Became boring ..

Too long !! Short and to the point,please... 😌😴
--------

Well what can I say? I didn't realise that I was writing for someone who's attention span is likely about the same size as their under-sized manhood. I'll be sure not to take this into account for my future writing.

Thanks for your highly literate and useful feedback. I will indeed 'write better shit' just for you. Or perhaps I'll write extremely crap shit and force you to read it

Is it really necessary to keep saying over and over again man, fuck in every other instance when there's sex involved ??? What are you 16 !!! Grow up

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I clearly lack the skills to maintain your interest and will attach a thesaurus to my head for future writing endeavours. I would also like to thank you for the link to your highly articulate and clearly better class of writing ... oh wait, there wasn't one.


Anyway, sometimes I get genuinely nice feedback, and I thank everyone that does actually provide me with their love and appreciation. I mostly laugh off the crap like I've copied above, but sometimes, just occasionally I wonder what their problem is. I suspect the list is long.

licks and kisses,
