JUST KIDDING! SORRY FOR THE COMMENTS!!!

Sorry folks. My opening comments were meant to be funny and tongue in cheek only. One of the things people always comment about are the length and subject matter. So I'm sorry if my attempt at humor missed the mark and I hope i didn't offend anyone. I truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Islamic extremism

Don't we see enough of that in the news? We don't need to read it on an EROTIC website. Didn't read your story, so no rating.

' Dirty Patty ' Makes My Day

A lot of of absorbing twists and turns made the 15 pages zoom by , I really enjoyed the cameo appearances of Clarissa and Bud , the former arch nemesises of the narrator. soldierboy50401 has a a demented gift for giving the most memorable infuriating, hiss-worthy and yet credible lines to characters that try to hinder Pat Quinn .
Simmering tension is nurtured and amped up notch by notch until the ripe moment for open confrontation is at hand . The action sequences are first rate. Another heady move is sometimes the hero is thoughtless and can be a borderline asshole to officious FBI agents who largely deserve it right down to his sons who don't.

Frankly IRL I would wonder,that this çharacter would need to be more of a diplomat in his high profile job as sheriff ? How many rural lawmen actually owe their life to bulletproof windshield glass because of demented religious fanatics with full auto weaponry ? Well , I'm not sure, but the research done in terms of detailing police tactics and artillery passed my neophyte muster.

Bottom line : the author wrings a lot of nuance and drama from ostensibly sleepy town in hinterlands . He paces the story , makes us doubt the hero , then believe again. At one point , it seemed conceivable that he could lose everything - his health was dicey , dream woman nearly reviled him. Then the rats were flushed from hiding and apprehended.

Odd closing with reviled father being incapacitated ? Hopefully this will be explained. Why did soldierboy50401 swing the spotlight to a literal relative non-entity for last impression? For now full marks for authentic kaleidoscope literary ridealong. *****

God damn

I love your stories. Every single one of them. I just keep hoping you stay around these parts for a long time to come and keep churning out more of the good stuff.

5 stars!

There's a new sheriff in town

Unfortunately, this ain't him. Just a long, convoluted, boring snoozefest of a mess. The paint-by-the-numbers villains, predictable flag waving. Soldierboy seems to have thin skin too. What happened to all the negative comments? Delete everyone that doesn't like the story?

Not good

Just really long and not at all erotic or exciting. I just gave up waiting for something to happen. The characters were two dimensional cartoons, especially the bad guys. Just had to give it a two. There are two better stories on here today.

Good idea

Head to the comments and give you a one bomb, that is. I should have done that. Instead I read five dreary pages before my eyes glazed over. Gave you a two, though. Anyone that can write that many words deserves a little charity.

Read it! Loved it!!! And voted a 5

Hope this offset the crazy ass fag dear annony's 1 vote. This bat shit crazy fool hates everything. pay no attention to the asshole of LIT!!

1*

VOTE 1* FOR EVERY STORY RATED BY THAT TRANNY BITCH FOOL VASTIESMITH2 AKA BONNIETAYLOR2 AKA ANON!

Wow!

Took a long time to get through and I was damned near late for work trying to finish it. But I'm glad I did! Very intense story with a lot of twists and turns. I disagree with a previous commenter about paint-by-number characters. I can't think of another story I've read on Lit that comes anywhere near this in terms of bringing the characters to life and making them seem real. And I thought it was ballsy to choose such a difficult topic. Some of the dialogue was a bit repetitive and mundane but you either like that sort of thing or you don't. But easily worth the four stars I gave it. Can't wait for the next chapter! ****

for content and effort and to offset the asshole of LIt's 1 vote

Too long

Got bored after the second page, enough with the Police bullshit, who cares about 10-4's, 17-10's etc, etc enough already. No interest in reading anymore of this crap

too much

public servan,t cough cough, cop bs
1 star for 1 st page.

For a wife sex story ...

... this verbose yarn was padded with exuberant philosophy about in vogue political trends. There have been a few authors who have have mixed contemporary real world current events with their stories and while it would be relevant in a standard novelization, it looks out of place in a story where the main plot should revolve around eroticism, sex, passion, fetishism, heartaches, relationships and all that jazz.

This story was ten pages too long and yammered on about extraneous characters we rightly don't give a damn about. Let's hope this author returns to form with a better instalment that is grounded in Red River Falls and not whimsical about plots which would be better off in a James Bond film...

Yawn!

Sorry, I fell asleep and drooled a little on my shirt. Lots of cop crap, not much else except, Holy Shit! It's an Islamic Terrorist! Well that was exciting, not. Didn't there used to be more comments? There were some really funny ones that went away. Wonder what happened? I'll be nice and give you a two.

annony fell asleep becasue he is old and a fag!! he wants to read about sucking cocks and drinking cum

A real LW story will be of no interest to him as you can see from all his asshole comments. I gave you a 5

excited when I see another Pat Quinn story

Just have to say that you made my day today. I have read all your stories several times and now have another favorite to re-read. Quite a few authors can and should take notes on how to establish a back story, keep continuity, and type believable dialogue. Please keep up the good work and and disregard the trolls on here who can't even spell check their own criticisms. Thanks again.

Fuck the Annony's - I enjoyed the hell out of it. Love a long story now and again.

Jesus Christ!

This is really long!

Sheriff Quinn

I see no problem with the length of the story. In order to properly set up the circumstances and have believable situations, characters and resolution takes time and many words. I will look forward to the next installment of the Sheriff Quinn saga

Should the author break his stride to appease critics ?

I personally say nothing more then tweaking the characters and possibly the setting needs to be done . Perhaps Red Rivers Falls should be left behind for a larger city to give credibility for multitude of headline grabbing crimes that incongruously strike what many would dismiss as a hick town.


The critics bemoan the attention to detail cc police tactics and equipment. This parallels the flack Tom Clancy got. Well T.C. died a very rich man hewing to his foundation. You can't please everyone but if you have a passion that strikes a chord with substantial demographic , they are the ones to be attentive to after your inner muse.

On a side note: I praise again that the hero has frailties, along with indisputable strengths that rear up in both his professional and personal life. Keep the challenges coming for Pat Quinn. Let him stumble, curse perhaps even fall before he gets up again and I along with many others will keep reading.

Great Story with several themes to hold your interest

Another great tale and tour de force from this writer. This is what a complete story arc looks like, with real characters and several themes Definite 5 Stars, would give it 10 if I could.
The treatment of Islam is also very accurate and the honor killing makes for an interesting, brutal and yet pointless crime that is the curse of those elements of ancient Islam that persist into out modern society.'
Love the FBI's PC infatuation with the militias and the reluctance to deal with the risk to the Sheriff. Unfortunately was too accurate to our own detriment.
I also thought the conflict between him and Shannon over his refusal to tell her about the threats was very real and the kinds of issue you would get among LE couples.
Story had so many good elements, it was a great read, and the opening chase got interest and the story held it.
Thanks again for such a fine effort.

another anon here..,

I laugh at all the dumbasses that complain about a story because they say it too long when you mention at top of the first page it was going to be long. I also like stories that are more than just sex and retaliation but wonder why this isn't in the novels thread. I have read all your stories so far and enjoy the characters

Please continue

You told me I wouldn't like it

and you were right. 1*

another great story

sb

yet another story well worth reading. Look forward to the follow-up

Research would help.

Children of a professor in Kampala have seen a restaurant menu with more and better selections than a Perkins offers. And the schools they went to were probably better equipped than our inner city schools.

Good Yarn

I enjoyed the story. Quinn is imperfect. Bud Roberts is still an asshole. Shannon is perfection. Maybe somewhere down the line she will have a frailty or two? We'll have to see. Good job author.

Another Fantastic Story

Anyone who thinks or says your stories are too long should go back to comic books. You keep writing like you do & people will keep reading.

Great story and as usual so very well wriiten....Thanks

On a side note...The smell of Carnations and Roses trigger my own PTSD. Unfortunately my career choice made me party to just too many funerals including parents, children, friends and fellow soldiers. Even the memory can cause me to seize up. So I have told my family and friends ....no flowers for me.

Super story!

Thanks for sharing.

A Long Story?

This is not a long story, it is a very long story. It might make a good telemovie in which case it would hit its target audience.

thank you

You are an amazing story teller!!!! Thank you very much.

Meh

I read 7 pages wondering what the point of the story was. Skipped through a few more pages hoping it would improve, it didn't.

Whew!

Was afraid you were gonna write Shannon as a cheater. Great story!

No idea why people bitch about a story's brevity or length

Complaining about a story's length --- as opposed to complaining about the quality, logic, soundness, character development, etc. OR THE LACK THEREOF --- is like complaining about you shitting your pants, where you sit... 'cuz getting up to go to the bathroom takes too long.

An author's job is SIMPLY TO WRITE a story; you don't get to tell him or her how short or long his or her story ought to be.

They're working hard to produce a small piece of literature for you, FREE...

If you are too lazy, or too stupid, or with ADHD and can't concentrate on stories that are more than a paragraph or a page long, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, you just skip it.

But you decide to read --- regardless whether it is DEVTA's 11 million word counts, or Leo Tolstoy's WAR AND PEACE (a mere 560,000 word counts), or Shel Silverstein's FLEAS (just two words) --- you shouldn't bitch about its length; instead, you should focus on other aspects of the story which you think made it good or not so good...

a good wife,

when her husband is hurting and shutting out the world doesn't walk out and leave him to sort him self out. How would she then feel if he had a break down? I have seen so many strong men come to a point, and suddenly flip out, some just never recover. So is that how relationships work in the USA, when the going gets tough the wife gets going, somewhere else. TK

Wrong category

Should have gone under "Cops - in textual format". 28 yrs behind the badge I don't come here to read pulp cop drama. You must have a lot of time on your hands. One ☆. Not because of the length but the over the top dwelling in what should have been brief reference to support your characters and plot.

Incredulous

Look it up in the dictionary

Look up asshole in the

dictionary and see dear annony's face there

Well done

You should seriously consider dragging this series off Lit, polishing it, and self-publishing on Amazon or something - maybe not under erotic literature but as a crime drama. Engrossing characters and varied plots have kept me entertained throughout your writing. 4 stars.

That was great!

Thank you for the story. I forgot how much I had enjoyed the Pat Quinn series, so I've pulled up all the previous RRF stories to reread them. Well written! I can't wait for more.

Another great chapter

In Pats life. New wife, and one on the way. Can not wait for the next chapter. Thanks for the stories.

4*s

What I can say is this was a very interesting, entertaining and informative story.
The plot was full of action. The interpersonal relationships between characters wasn't slighted in the least. With the history of the different characters built upon in previous stories their actions and feelings were understandable. I completely sympathize with Quinn. Not just dealing with his job,and the new family dynamics but also the post-traumatic stress disorder he didn't recognize he was experiencing.
That interaction with the FBI is going to come back and bite the sheriff in the ass. You're showing your hand there soldierboy50401,lol.
Really a very good point you made about the differences between cultural heritage and religious practices.
This didn't feel like a 15 page story. It moved along so quickly and had so much action and dramatic movement. Before I realized it, the story was done!!
The sex was a voyeuristic pleasure. I'm sure the Sullivans weren't the only ones leaving a mess. HA!
I am glad this was in LW. Otherwise I wouldn't have red it for quite awhile.Some might quibble this belongs in non-erotic,or novels, etc. I believe that is the writer's decision.
Thank you for a wonderful story soldierboy50401 !


AMerryman

P.S. Farrakhan, dianetics ? Really, who would have thunk it!!

Logical and interesting extension of the series

My only complaint about this story is that I kept getting interrupted by life whilst trying to read it. Five stars for sure!

Great storie

This guy can write enjoy what he does. thanks

Interesting...

I enjoyed this story a lot, and the whole series also. Keep goin' like you're goin', soldier!

outstanding soldierboy, 5 stars

Wow!

Another great story! Consistently, one of the best writers on this site!
