All Comments on 'Caught in the RipTide'

A little stiff but generally interesting with good back stories and character development. The word you were trying to use was “draconically”, I believe. No connection to dragons.

The villain comes out ahead in this one and the poor, deserving couple end up with the short end of the stick. Yeah, they'll tough it out and probably make it together, but hell, this is Fantasyland and the author could have called on the Make Believe gods to rescue these two people and punished Ross. Disappointing. 3*

see overcritical, that's where I disagree with you. On this site, "magic gods" save characters to often. in real life, that doesn't happen. Lilly and Callum are in love. they don't need "magic gods" they have each other...life's like that!

What the heck is “dragonically”? Did you perhaps mean draconian? Decent story otherwise.

A rip tide in a creek in Montana? So many details in this story do not make sense.

So many missing details. What happened to Lilly’s boss? He seems like the type who would immediately retaliate, yet nothing happened. Lilly was middle aged at 27? Then Cal must have been elderly since he was in his early 40’s. I’m curious about the age gap between them and between Lilly and her husband.

In 1950, the life expectancy was 68 SO at 27 Lilly would be nearing middle age---per stats of her time!

Badly written story!! She hit Ross, ran to Callum's then fucked him.......so what happened to Ross after the beating???

Callum apparently 'saved his friends', saved the two Canadians instead of Charlie.....yet they will Lily grew up together.??

You are a cunt writer....maybe if ypu gad the balls you could have had some retaliation on the likes of Muriel and Ross!!!

Anon, did you ever think it's not all about retaliation? They left bc they wanted a peaceful life!

Good luck to them!

Neat story. Good luck with the contest.

This is an excellent story and does not warrant at least one of the comments that have been made. I have attempted to make this point in a previous post which was unfortunately not deemed appropriate. I am therefore trying again. I would simply ask the anonymous commenter who called Kinkybunny a "cunt writer" what gives them the right to say this and whether he would have "the balls" to say it anyway other than anonymously. Authors do not write to be trolled by faceless individuals from the shadows and who make no contribution to the site other than insulting comments and one scores. Trolls simply put off some authors from even trying. I am an author with many stories on this site but am withholding my identity to prevent the commenter from anonymously trolling me.

Dear anon,

As the author I assume ppl who leave nasty comments are super jealous of my work. They're just dickheads who wouldn't compliment their own mothers.

I believe comments should be about the story, and not about morality. The writing may not be the best and some details may have been excluded, However, this is an outstanding story, fun, even with all the mistakes, it is a beautiful love story. No story entered to this site is perfect and there never will be. I read stories for the enjoyment of reading, and for me, it was an exciting romance. Thanks be to those who are tolerant, can overlook mistakes, and accept the author's intent. Irtis so easy to criticize but so difficult to create.

Thank you Mitchawa. Well said. This is a good story and the author deserves praise and not insults. Thanks to Kinkybunny123 for sharing.

@ Anonymous, Better to be a cunt writer than an anonymous cunt

Looking at the author's comments, I think he has some issues. There are thousands of stories in literotica but this is the first time I've seen author bitching about every criticisms he's received. Anger issues, maybe. Lol

Dear Anonymous who appears to think it is acceptable to criticize someone for defending their work against individuals, like yourself, who don't contribute to this site, IT IS NOT, Please show some respect for someone who at least has the balls to make a contribution and write a story on this site. Like anonymous above I do contribute, The problem is that if we comment without being anonymous mindless trolls give us one scores. I do have anger issues when I read some comments here LOL

Not that the coward will ever see this, I feel compelled to post anyway. First, as an author myself, I welcome constructive criticism. Sometimes I'm too close to the story to see the flaws and defects in my story. That said, name calling is petty and childish. If you don't like the story, move on. If you must post, at least be polite. Just because you don't care for the story does not mean others will feel the same. Every work posted here has merit and I applaud the bravery of those who subject themselves to the idiocy of the dreaded 'Anonymous' that lurks in the shadows, berating the hard working authors who put their hearts and souls into these works. I challenge said 'Anonymous' to post something and allow us to critique. Alas that will never happen as they are talentless hacks that only derive pleasure in attacking those who, indeed, do have talent. Put up or shut up! Second, to Kinkybunny specifically, you can delete the negative posts. I have done so myself. I do not sanitize my feedback, if the criticism is polite, sincere and has merit, I leave it. I re-read my feedbacks every so often to see if I can learn to be a better author. Please do not let them get you down. You are welcome here. You have a body of work to be proud of. I would suggest not responding to such juvenile posts in the future. The offending individual is unlikely to see it and even if they did, it usually leads to more inane and poorly worded (and spelled, are they so stupid that they are unaware of spell-check?) responses. I'll step off my soap-box now. Keep posting, I look forward to your next story. Bleeep
