Very well said, I will definietly keep that in mind. I may start writing again. Thanks for the input guys and girls.

 

Please start writing again. I don't believe I have ever read anything of yours, but I will look around. I personally find value and entertainment in virtually every story I read. Looking forward to it.

 

To say no author is better than others

is ridiculous. It is true, individual taste is a factor. I loved Thomas Hardy's writing and couldn't stand Hemingway., but they were both competent authors.Mastery of technical skills in important, and they both had it.

There are several xnxx authors who stand out in my mind, but one of the newest, ejls should be particularly noted. She has only three stories and one poem so far, but I would say she bears watching. Check her out. One of her storie is in the current favorites list, and the others can be found under her title.

 

I have to agree with you about her writing. I just finished Karen and am going on to the other 2. Anyone interested, click here: http://stories.xnxx.com/profile229479/ejls. A power of description that is hard to match. Hope she keeps writing for us. By the way, I don't care that much for Hemingway, either. Thanks for the tip on a gifted writer.

 

Strong recommendation for http://stories.xnxx.com/profile130735/ fantasyra. Good stories. Well worth the time to read.

 

Kudos to my favorite writers ... I've read their stories multiple times and I'm a hard judge of character when it comes to reading and movies. Story lines must catch my attention quickly or I just simply cannot carry on with the story.

Personally I don't mind the 'negative' comments when they are constructive critism but when they are more attacking like then they are worthless points of view. For example my latest story posted was written by request and addmittingly not my best of work so I am not suprised by the low rating but some of the comments leave something less than tasteless, says alot about the reader posting the comments.

I would recommend Chagrin or Lollylover.

 

*warmly* I think that's a valid point Rosy, and worth reiterating. There is a world of difference between constructive criticism, and destructive criticism!

For those who aren't sure of the difference, take a look at the following two examples;

CONSTRUCTIVE: Hey there Red, I was reading your story, and noticed that the lead character was red-headed at the start, but raven haired at the end. Also, you might want to check your punctuation; there are times when you're using commas, just a bit, too often, for smooth, reading... if you can see what's wrong with my example above, you'll understand the problem!

DESTRUCTIVE: YOU STORY SUX!!!! YOU SUCK!!! YOU FUKN WERDIO! GETA LIFFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One encourages the writer to make improvements, and discuss how they might make the story better for all. The other... makes them want to throw something through your bedroom window late at night. Like a stick of dynamite.

By the way don, kudos to you for doing such a fine job of keeping this thread active and interesting!

Bye for now - Fluffy McNoo.

 

And kudos to you Fluffy for the original idea. It has born more fruit for me (at least) than I ever thought was possible. I have found a lot of new favorite writers. Maybe not favorite, but at least favorable. This has been a very good experience and we owe it all to you. Thanks.

 

Stories by Eils

Just read "Karen" by Eils which I enjoyed very much and admired the descriptive narration. What puzzled me was the relatively low score it received at 82.7. It puzzled me for a few minutes, wondering why quality such as this is didn't rank higher. Then it dawned on me, the writing is not the stroke stuff generally posted, so those who are loooking for a quick release would either not bother to read it or rate it lowly because they didn't get off on it. That is a shame really and promotes a culture where excellence is shunned in favour of mediocre.

It caused me to look at my scores. I have an average of 83%. Highest at 91% Lowest at 59.1% over 47 stories. The funny things is, the lowest score is an attempt at humour, not overtly sexual in content and a story I actually like. So, it may go towards proving that stroke stories will rank the highest and hang the quality. I do find that a shame.

 

Thread comment

The thread is fast becoming a seperate forum for authors, I like that. Perhaps we should request it becomes a sticky thread.

Two writers I really like reading are smcaaphd and Sahara907.

smc has a great style of writing and her Isabella Dupree story (eight chapters but don't know if there's more to come) is fantastic. It's not a stroke story by any means but it is really well written. I can't believe it's scoring so low but maybe the content of the story has more to do with that than anything.

smc can be found here: http://stories.xnxx.com/profile108177/smcaaphd

Sahara907 is also really good. I prefer stories that transport you into the middle of them, maybe the descriptions are better or something, I'm not sure. Anyway, she can be found here.

(The Bar Snack story was my favourite)

 

I don't know how to turn this into a sticky. Any ideas/recommendations?

 

JackassTales: Why didn't you tell us about IrishPassion and installment 1 of Babysitting Sis? http://stories.xnxx.com/story/17413/Babysitting_Sis# Good read and looking forward to continuation.

 

I like the collaboration of this thread and it displays great gratitude for some real hidden talents that one can not simply share openly ... well for the most part.

 

I just wanted to get in my 2 cents worth in here. As I told donb a couple weeks ago I'm an unpublished writer and put most of my time into the stories I'm trying to get published. When I started writing my adult stories I made the decision to do them for fun and practice so when I post them I do it raw, without editing them. With that in mind, when I get the occasional comment about my editing I just kind of grin about it (a private joke you might say) most of the other negative comments I get aren't what I'd call constructive, they're mostly about how stupid I am or how boring my story is, which I consider a personal opinion and not an actual comment on me or my stories.

 

Still wishing you the best.

 

You might ask Lemark, he maybe able to help.

 

Sent the question to Lemark - will let everyone know. Once again, thanks to everyone for helping me make this thread meaningful.

 

Done, this thread has been stuck

 

To all

Let this be a lesson to us all - just today I asked Lemark to stick this thread and it's already done. Thanks again. Only twice have I had a request/question of Lamark and have been satisfied both times. We are not too likely to find that on any other site. Thanks.
