I have enough command of the english language for the both of us. And your story carries more punch than DanielQSteele1's drivel. 3 Cheers to Bombay.

Good Ideas

but like others pointed out , try to get somebody to help you with the English sentence structure as it is hard to follow at times . Keep writing but an editor or translator is a must . I would go so far as to have this story re written from the beginning once you have found a person to help you so that we can understand better what your trying to tell us ......................as it is , 3 stars for content and effort but some of your ideas just did not translate out .

Missing

The comments seem almost exclusively focused on your use of English. I can get through your words, if only because I realize how much worse my writing would be in any other language. So, I suggest that comment writers focus on your themes. For example, I hope you are not planning on making Johnathan the bad guy by letting Rich collect proof of a fraudulent prosecution. Yes, Johnathan did go too far, but he was entitled to some revenge and in the end Rich's reputation did not lose much, except in Susan's eyes.

You are getting better

You have the intelligence and imagination needed to write a good story. Your use of the English language steadily progressing. I would encourage you to keep writing and keep getting better.

Keep it going - Nici's version was so pathetic at best.

However, the next chapter should have this born-again slut shoot herself to save the sanity of the kids. Nice job, author.

But have you reached out to any of the authors you like? You need an editor. Pick your favorite author and ask for help or a referral.

How did Laura know

How did Laura know, which lawyer to find, and start flirting with ? The story jumps all over the place not making sense. If she went to him why hasn't she told Johnathon his name. How did Susan know where to find Johnathon?

Great story nice flow to it, the perverts will say your commas and periods are not right but they read with one hand on their dicks and if your not screwing a dog or having a gang bang the story is all wrong so write on and pay no attention to them you can always get better with your stories they can't because there sickos.

Thanx to all

Thanx to all those who appreciate and understand what i am trying to write. may be i am lazy, why dont i see mistakes before it is published? i still dont understand, i read again and again, skip some of the easy mistakes which could have been removed.

but thanx for still appreciating it, and again I am not here to learn english but still i am trying to improve.

This is not the revenge story, it is as simple as it should be, and i am trying to follow original, there was no explanation on many of the things so I could not explain them, I will try hard not to change any of the original character, except what john do, that is my point, not every guy is as tolerating as John in Original, they might not be stud to have another woman, they might not be ex-navy that might not have contacts to underworld, they might not have friends who can do anything for you, but do you really think that is all a man need to take revenge or be happy after situation like this. A weakest man can hurt you at your weakest point if he is determined to do that, and only one hurt is enough to make you scream and feel sorry for yourself, think before you test someone's limits, you may regret to know later.

If a guy cant be happy he can do everything to make sure that you wont be happy either. I think i said to much. again this is not just revenge story, this is as simple as it could be, or a guy who could do nothing to take revenge, but is doing his best to fight with whatever he has. A woman, who has some beliefs or disbeliefs and trying to work on them.

Again thnx to all.

Like A Bad Penny

This freaking story just will not go away! I read nici's original, found it quite wanting, and have read several attempts to "improve" it. It's quite frankly getting tiresome seeing so many trying to repair Humpty Dumpty.

The end result of getting involved with this story is that there are only two ways to go. The first, and most obvious tactic, is to try and improve the events of the story. Susan is such a clueless and selfish bitch that it makes that tact pretty much impossible. The story began with such a fantastic premise to begin with that any dabbling only seems to make it worse. One cannot, as the old saying goes, make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

The only other avenue to approach this train wreck makes it necessary to completely rewrite the story, or at least to rewrite so much of it that it is a pale shadow of the original. Even nici's attempts to fill out the events following the original installment were hollow. Susan still cannot seem to have a revelation that her behavior is beyond the pale. At the end of it all, she is still managing to blame Jonathan for this whole mess.

I implore you writers. Let this hopeless mess die! The more you stir manure, the worse it stinks, as we say in my neck of the woods. I swear, if I read one more pathetic attempt to salvage this atrocious tale, I will likely climb a tall tower with a scoped rifle!

Let me at least give swimwriter some encouragement. I believe you have the basic tools to become a good writer. You have an imaginative and entertaining style. It is incumbent upon you however to secure the services of an editor. You need some help in this area until such time as you have mastered English and that language's grammar and sentence structure. At present, one cannot appreciate the good of your writing for wading through the chaff of your errors in spelling and grammar. Hang in there my friend. Don't give up!

Is she ever going to admit that she major league fucked up ?

The one glaring thing missing in all these chapters of this story is the simple fact that the wife NEVER admits that she alone fucked up in a major league way and caused all the shit that started rolling down hill at their family, their relationship and themselves.

Also it became obvious in this last chapter that the goal of her fuck-toy all along was to wreck her marriage. How could a mature middle aged wife and mother not figure that out ?

Surely you can write another part to finish the story. I hated to read three parts and the story not be concluded. Thank you for writing although if I knew that you did not properly write an ending I would not have even started.

Please note that, in English, the personal I is written in caps, not i. That is a good thing to practice.

Keep writing in English

Your plot line has a lot of loose ends and a conclusion would tie them up nicely. Don't give up on writing because of a few tough spots. I like your style and your devious mind. You have put Susan on the ropes emotionally, and now for either the knockout punch or the come back to a reconciliation. Please write it. Even someone with only the knowledge of a natural born speaker will help you smooth out the rough spots. Keep trying! I look forward to more from you.

You try writing in a second or third language.

I was wondering why the grammar in this story was so bad. I thought you were just careless until I read the preamble to chapter 2. This was a struggle to read, but I admire the effort. If you choose not consult an editor, then you might try reading the piece aloud. You will find a lot of errors that way. Don't listen to the mono-lingual trolls. The only way to get better is to write. I would, however, admonish you not to write trite endings. Or maybe this wasn't an ending?

Potentially a good series BUT,,,,

Don't you have a clue how to write a sentence? Subject/Predicate. You use words like "a", "and", "then", "now". Next time get a fucking proof reader who knows how to write to correct your spelling and grammatical errors. Example: "Brad" (A proper noun) need's to be capitalized, and not spelled "brad".

did you run away?

I only read the last chapter, and I like the Twilight feeling it gives when I have no idea what's going on, except for what I see. But important things were missing...like logic that allows for point a to point b. It's not about language; what I can look over is astounding, I think I gave the "hey bud, can you share your wife for a night for my birthday, bud" story stars, which I won't do here. I just don't get it.

I think all multiple installment stories should serendipitously honor those who can't remember shit without patronizing those that do. This was, which I agree with too, a full continuation without consideration for the dumb or lazy asses.

The only thing I disagree with is it not being finished...and if it was, I still disagree with it. Because it was not finished.

Good storyline

The grammar, usage, and punctuation are terrible. The spirit of the dialog is good, but is very awkward. I realize that English isn’t your native language, so I suggest trying to find a volunteer editor to work with. The editor would need to restructure almost every sentence, but the net story would be much more enjoyable.

Not a bad story

Just horrible English. If you had a good editor this story would be MUCH better. And your understanding of American Divorce law is just non existent. She can't stop the divorce. She can waste a lot of money, but any lawyer worth their salt will tell her she can't stop a divorce. All she can do is waste money. She's going to be divorced.

swimwriter

I appreciate your attempts to submit your work to the site. It takes a degree of courage and maybe a smidgen of ego. This is especially true where English may not be your first language. But the reality is the overwhelming majority of readers on Literotica have a working knowledge to write and read English stories. This means that you must try to consider how readers will respond to your submissions. I would never attempt to write erotic tales in Hindi for the very same reason. My advice is to have someone proofread your stories...who has English writing and grammar skills. Even folks who have English as their first language on the site usually have others proofread their tales so they can be improved.

ojalalalaojalalalaalmost 5 years ago
Author's good story needs a bi-literate proofreader...

The author likely is highly proficiency in oral use of English as a second (or third, fourth...) language and now is stretching for higher proficiency in writing. Colloquial phrases are rendered correctly and in appropriate situations, and the story rolls along quite well until crashing into a wall of nonsensical words because the author needed to look one up and it doesn't fit the situation (The complimentary word sultriness probably was supposed to be sluttiness.) . Also, a statement that was made affirmative when the argument called for the husband to use the negative – there were many of those in what otherwise would have been insightful dialogue, but I skipped it so I could maintain my sanity. ("I will see my children hurt," NO "I will NOT see my children hurt.")

Over all, I prefer this author's story (although the story seems not quite finished) to most of the other versions. Susan's daughter knows now but Susan has yet to suffer her family and all of her community's knowing her adulterous face. She finally knows that she did wrong but still hopes to maintain the façade of loving wife and dutiful mother: she will need some of that “triple S” therapy for the Stupid and Supremely Selfish. Also, Jonathan still needs to get past revenge and find joy again with his children and abiding love with a new mate. "God does not like ugly" (actions, attitudes).

I understand that you are not a native English speaker, and you are doing a much better job of it than I could in any other language. I got most of what you were saying, except the last bit where the lawyer told Susan he was no longer her lawyer because his marriage was in trouble.

I guess I missed something about who her lawyer was, if it was Rich, he wasn't married. I guess I could go back but I'll pass.

It's a good bunch of alternate endings to the original story, and they DID get easier to read from chapter to chapter.

I can take typos and the occasional grammar snafu, but here, it was genuinely difficult to follow what the hell was even going on a lot of the time. What with the characters' tendency to repeat themselves forever, random scene switches with no explanation who's talking to who, and a muddled plot in general, this was a bit of a mess. Can't even comment on the story itself, since it's quite hazy at the moment.

You warned your readers that English is not your first language and when I checked your profile I found that you are from Bombay, India. All that being taken into consideration your stories are good but I suggest that you write in one of your native languages (Marathi, Hindi, English or Gujarati) so that your thoughts can best be expressed. Also do not submit your stories to this website for those who speak and think in English. What you write may seem simple to comprehend to your manner of thinking but is totally strange to a native English speaker.

While it is interesting to see how others view life, when they try to express those thoughts in a foreign language, as the expression goes, something is lost in the translation.

I lived in Germany for a total of six years and developed a decent understand and usage of the language but would never try to write a story aimed at a true German. The idioms and syntax of the language is not natural to the way I think and what would sound intelligent to me would be difficult for a German to understand even after they knew it was written by an Ausländer.
