A while back I coined a term that I call the "Literotica Letdown". Literotica is probably 95% or more amateur writers and I sincerely appreciate the effort people put into their work to provide you and me with some escape from reality, no matter how short that escape may be. Still, we all spend our valuable time reading these stories...getting invested in the characters and their emotions of many. It seems more often than not, stories here end with a big thud. Some are so bad that it absolutely ruins the entire story for me. Hey, I'm not out there submitting my own perfect stories for everyone to read and that's because I don't think I could be a good writer. Often, I get onto page 11 out of 12 of a story I've been enjoying just fine and the big reveal/retribution/reconciliation/etc. still hasn't arrived. Oooooh! I just started page 12 out of 12...I'm 1/3rd of the way through page 12 and finally! Here it comes! The tables are finally turned. This happens, that happens and the main character (male) grabs the hand of the woman he's dated twice and fallen in love with on page 10 and he says something cheesy and it's over. All of that build-up. All the descriptive scenes. All the minutia I gobbled up...and would gladly do it again if the ending didn't fucking suck so hard., Searching for that lost Literotica story you enjoyed?
