All Comments on 'Ashley's Campaign Ch. 19'

80000 over 2years as opposed to 5000 over like a month? Also he did end it, twas a pretty good series.

Even if you finished with less readers than you started, the rates given say it all. Great job !

Considering how quickly peoples live's can change it isn't surprising that you lost some readers over the years. People migrate to other computers losing their favorites and what they were reading, people pick up other series and when a new volume of a a series arrives, few people want to re-read the whole thing to understand whats going on again.

Look at GoT. If it wasn't for the tv series a lot of his fans would be gone, many others have sworn that they won't by anymore books until the series is done. The joke is the best series that you don't want your friends to start.

Time was more your bane than anything else.

“Between the first and last chapter, I explored several Literotica categories. As a result, the series suffers from a loss of focus...”

That can be a good thing, honestly. I like that it tried to do everything. Sure, some of it came out of the blue and wasn't terribly likely to have occurred (her high school friend that's living with her already being and experienced pole dancer and a pole already being set up at her house come to mind), but it was fun.

I did expect her to bang her father at some point, just to bring it full circle. After all, pretty much everything else that was teased eventually happened, which was pretty satisfying.

As far as readers dropping, I think there were a couple of factors in that:

- Her getting raped by a mutant was very uncharacteristic of the series at that point and was really unexpected. Especially rushing into the line where she got pregnant from it. I'm sure that's where most of your readers dropped. It was like, “holy shit. I like this girl, and he just threw her away entirely.” It was nice that you were able to turn that into a thing that didn't actually happen.

- Her becoming so dependent on drugs that she lost her personality (and her looks—several descriptions of her was that she had become frail) was also really hard. Near the end she was literally just a fuckdoll with nothing going on inside, and a good amount of the charm of the story was lost. I really anticipated the next release in this story pretty much every time, but by the end, instead of excitedly delving in, I really had to get myself emotionally prepared for how hard it was going to be.

I guess I just really assumed that I'd get to watch her overcome those habits and return to herself before it was all said and done. It happened in a montage at the end, sure, but it's pretty different from getting the full, visceral and elaborate reassurance that the girl from the beginning of the story came back from her ordeal.

I'm really glad that you finished the story. I can tell that you wanted it over with for a while... whereas there was a lot of teasing and very descriptive stuff early in, a lot of sex scenes started to become glossed over. I really wanted more elaboration in the homeless gang bang and the last scene with the cop, particularly.

Despite its faults, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and really appreciate your writing and sharing on Literotica. Thank you so much for doing whatever you wanted to do with it. As challenging as it was, it was certainly at least a wild ride, very engaging, and hard to predict. Also, thanks for constantly referencing The Lapdancing Girlfriend—it definitely took your insistence to get me past its beginning.

Also, The Downward Spiral was AMAZING

glad its over. once it turned down the non consent route it became a terrible story. it was great the way it was in the early chapters. cant stand when authors change mid stream. it should have started dark in the first place or warned the readers a hell of a lot sooner than you did so we didnt waste our time and then end up becoming utterly disappointed the direction you decided to take it. the original premise could have turned out just as dirty without the rape etc.

I just finally finished reading the Ashley's Campaign series. Another writer has an archive of stories and only has up to Chapter 10, so when I found the series on Literotica, I was happy I could finally read to the end. I liked this series. The level of degradation and sluthood reminded me of a couple other stories or story series: "Becoming A school Slut" by bydasea and the Erica series of stories of which there were roughly over 50 different stories. bydasea publishes on Literotica, but not that story, probably because of the age of the characters. The common thing with these series is to some degree, the girl has a choice. I mean, even early on, Ashley acted a little like a slut before she was ever dosed with Senesse. Wendy in bydasea's story is being blackmailed, but with the 2 things she was being blackmailed with, she was foolish to go along with the degrading activities. She was 1) worried her parents would find out about her activties, but as it turned they played a part in her blackmail and 2) her friends back home finding out. Well, classmates were filming stuff on their phones, I am pretty sure, so if you don't think those photos and video are going to make it to the internet and, if they're on the internet, her friends back home are likely going to see anyway. And Erica, all she has to do is stick up for herself, but in almost every story, you get the sense that she enjoys being exposed. In all 3 series, during a lot of the degrading events, the girls ultimately seem to enjoy themselves. Anyway, going back to Ashley, at various times she tries to claim to be a good, chaste girl, but from the beginning of the story, I didn't feel like she was really that chaste or good to begin with. Again, I enjoyed the story. The only disappointment, was that we never "saw" her Dad getting to cum inside her. I mean, I understand, because of later events, why they had to be interrupted when they were having sex, but before the story ended, i still would have liked to "see" her Dad get a chance to fill her and succeed.

Sorry, couldn't get past Chapter 6, because of the myriad of consistencies, even to that point.

"Mary" (as Emily's early partner) becoming "Beth" after Mary left for Ellen.

RiverVale (in Ch 1) became RiverDale in Ch 6 at least (head too stuck in the tv series at the time of writing? );

Etc etc.
