Extremely original

Very fun concept of a loving wife story. I loved it. Be prepared to join the hall of fame with the greats from the LW Cat.

AnonymousAnonymousover 18 years ago
loved it!

But now the die is cast. You are on the other side of the fence now...Hope you can take it! Only kidding, I'm sure you can.

Now try the second story...it gets harder...lol

My best regards

How come it's always a cheating wife and a straight arrow husband/owner.

My wife cheated on me one and I deserved it.

You had to do it, right?

You had to go ahead and write, now you get to receive comments!

Very nice piece for your first time... brought a smile to my face.

Always a writer

Ah - now the fingers are on the other side of the keys. Welcome aboard wetapap. This is a good first step...but there's a long journey ahead.

A dear freind of mine once encouraged all criticism to have at least two positive and two negative points. So here it comes my friend.

+ your effort to move from reading to writing and your explanation of why.

+ your story was concise and direct, yet included lots of juicy teasers..."fatal" will get enyone's attention.

- your story was concise and direct...to concise actually!

- where's the juice? If this story was a car you were selling then you gave a us a grainy black and white image in an auto trader magazine with a couple of abbreviate descriptors. Okay you've got my interest, either sell me the car or let the car sell itself. Details, FEELINGS, dialogue!

Take every sentence in your story and try to turn it into a paragraph. Then try using dialogue and descriptions to tell us about it.

The motel is a dump - describe it. What it looks like (the place was a dingy 1940's style drive by with tiny cabins that faced a gravel parking lot), smells like (The place had an order that was hard to decribe, okay it smelled like the sewarge overflowed last week and clean-up isn't quite completed), sounds like (the new interstate went on the other side of town. This place was quiet, like a cemetary with no room.)

Alright I went a little overboard.

Great first effort weta - now I want the special effects.

Sincerely your fan

Decency

I first read the original story. This portion was very well written and meaningful. Thank you for this condensation of the original....very thoughtful.

Original!

Hey Wetapap: That was good, I mean really good. I wrote my first one on August of this year. Next you'll go back to the comments page a dozen times to see what everyone says. You'll get happy at some of the remarks and pissed at others. You wrote a nice piece of work and should be proud. I don't give kudos out that easy but you deserve one. Congrads from one who receives his share of remarks from both sides of the tracks

Your fellow writer and friend

Interesting outline of a story; a story that I'd like to read!

Keep up the good work!

Nice story!

I think we have a convert here! You'll enjoy the switch and be more gentle in your comments to others. It isn't always easy to read what others think of your efforts. Good start and welcome to the masochistic world of writing loving wives stories for Literotica!

I've never seen the like in a story on this site. I'm amazed that you don't have a long list of stories and I do hope you write more. A new fan.

So, life imitates art...

Very unique premise. The Loving Wives genre is interesting to read but the reality is rather painful.

Good job.

Old Plot - Poorly done

Not worthy of furthercomment

AnonymousAnonymousover 18 years ago
very good

Finally an original story. So nice not to read a story where the guy's not a billion-jillionaire who spends $100,000.000 on a PI to get the goods on a cheater.

Excellent hope you have some more stories written

Welcome to the dark side

Wetapap, congratulations on the story. It was a nice twist and different. I enjoyed it and hope to see more.

I loved it. The story in a story was great. Thanks.

KOLKOREKOLKOREover 18 years ago
A wonderful gem!

If this story was a painting, it would have been Escher’s. Just like Escher’s twirling stairs; rooms; turtles or fish so is wetapap leading you from stage one to stage two of his ‘sketches’ to his planned story, and before we know it, we are well IN the story. And we where thinking that we have not started yet! Smart!

But it’s not only smart. It’s also funny (like when he pokes fun at zealot critics) and it‘s actually also a parody of most stories in “Loving Wives”. But, as is the case with every thing else he writes, it’s done in a good hearted spirit and with kindness. You can just feel his love for all those classic stories of the genre.

Did I mention the ability to phrase things in simple language (as a very good and quite rare quality) and the ability not to take himself too seriously, even as he writes so well and unpretentiously? Go figure, maybe wetapap himself belongs to somewhere in Escher’s multistable perceptual phenomena, picking at life and at us from within or is it from the out side?

Sorry I missed this one

Welcome Wetapap to this side of the fence. You're a welcome addition and, of course, we now expect to read more. Thanks for a gem of a story.

You write extremely well and I'm honoured to have you comment on my stories. A great tale, very well done and I loved the twist.

Simply delicious

I'm a simple person with simple words, so no, I am not going to search my dictionary or thesaurus to search for big words for what should be a brilliant critique...so can I just say this story was simply delicious. Hooked me in from the start, and then spewed coffee on my monitor with the ending!

Great Story

You are either an extremely sensitive and imaginative person or you have had some very rough experiences. Besides all this you play beautiful music....

RonRWoodRonRWoodover 14 years ago

You did the outline without all the details...now do the hard part. Finish the story with all the feelings and results of those feelings... Good start!

Bull shit

As with most of your stories, this is merely an idea for a story, an embryo. No surprises here. Please go to the trouble of writing an actual story, if you intend to post it.

Acupuncture at its finest

It came slowly, but surely, first a smile, then a outright laugh. I've not read all the stories on this site, but even so, I'd have to say this story is indeed unique. I had to read it twice to get the full effect and both times it was a hoot.

My hat is off to you, 1) for writing such a excellent story with so few words, and 2) for sharing this story.

Well done.

You just gotta wonder where that one went - he had not planned his fictional ending so no real clues where his head goes on these trips - great job - thanks for you effort - again -

Too bad the writer (not this author) did not outline the consequences. She might have packed and been gone by the time he got home.

why doesn't this moron finish his shit?

AnonymousAnonymousover 7 years ago

Cause he's too fuckin lazy and thinks its 'clever' to post short unfinished shit and say it took a lot of time.

firemanlitfiremanlitalmost 7 years ago

"Betty I...

Before I could finish she cried out a desperate plea "Please don't leave me!"

"The Story " and "Blinding Ashes" each story was different in length and ending. The Story made me laugh and "Blinding Ashes" made me cry. The female lead in "The Story" deserved the pain of a break-up and the female lead in "Blinding Ashes" brought tears to my eyes. "Blinding Ashes" was the best of all of your work. I would like to see you try again, but maybe a different ending on the new work.

AnonymousAnonymousover 6 years ago

Okay, I’ll admit it was unique. But it was kind of silly and had no real content. And I don’t think it took a lot of effort, just judging by the length of it. Best I can do for this one is give it a 1, just for intention, I suppose.

I like stories that finish with open questions. It adds to the drama. This one could go anywhere. Good story.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 2 years ago

Just read this story. How did I miss it for 3 years? I love stories that do not follow the usual formula: Came home early, strange car in the driveway, heard a noise upstairs, found them doing the dirty in our marital bed. You know the rest. This story is a well-written breath of fresh air. It's not length that matters, it's contents. Five stars!
