Hi! I'm going around asking some of my favorite monster focused blogs this question, because I'd love to know everyone's takes! (So you might see this ask on other blogs) I saw in a reddit thread once that different authors have different comfort levels regarding types of comments on the adult content they make. What type of comments do you prefer for the smut you make? Details about how it reflects the characters dynamics? Particular lines we liked? How much a part about it made us blush? People thirsting a bit more explicitly over the monster in question in the comments? Or maybe just a general "that was hot!" and leave it like that?
aw, thanks for including me! i did see a bunch of people with this ask when you first sent it, but i've been swamped so I'm super late to the party lol
personally, i'm happy to receive any comments, adult content (reading or in comment) included!
i will say the same general thing i'd say to any comments which is the more specific you are, the more specific my response will be. if the comment is general (that was great, loved the story, the ending scene was so hot, i love [character] etc) then there's not a ton for me to say in response except to try to communicate how happy i am you shared that with me and say thanks - which i do love to say because thats all true.
buuut if you do list of specifics like character dynamics, fav lines, spiciest moments, why this monster in particular is doing it for you, then i get to learn more about what my audience likes/wants (and mayb lean more into that in the future) and i can share or respond more with why that happened how it did or how i came up with that part or that i love that line too and wrote it ages before i properly got the scene because it came to at the beginning etc
those types of comments definitely are a bit more fun to answer and easier to remember - and will make me smile most when i go back through my treasure hoard of comments for motivation or a pick me up when i'm feeling down/frustrated with my writing.
i'd also say, if u send me an ask/comment on smut, if you want to specify for me to answer it privately (for ur own sake), i 100% will. this is just my warning that my default is public answer unless told otherwise lol
