Author's Note: This is NOT a "How-to" pertaining to Kegel exercises for strengthening PC muscles. No, it is a "How-to" regarding how to generate "quality" Public Comments (PCs) on your stories. James R. Scouries, Esq., that esteemed Literotica author who writes under the name "scouries" has indicated that I am "Author of more 100+ comment stories than anyone else" so I feel somewhat qualified to expound upon this subject. I am looking forward to his ALL-TIME 100+ COMMENTED ON STORIES list that he has promised will be soon forthcoming. Refer to "The SCOURIES reader - for both fans and serious scholars" in the Authors Hangout forum for details. I must also thank Mr. Scouries profusely for suggesting to me that I write this "How-to" story for the contest.

Now, it didn't take me too long after I began to submit stories to figure out that Incest category stories are by far the most popular and generate many more views, votes, PCs, and private feedback, relatively speaking. If you take a look at the Favoritest Stories list, 21 of the top 25 stories are Incest category. No other category has more than one story in the top 25. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, people, to figure out that the number one rule to enhance your stories with pleasing PCs is this:
RULE 1: Write Incest category, at least sometimes.
Notice I said sometimes. You don't want to be labeled as the "Queen of Incest" or some such thing. Loving Wives category stories generate a substantial number of PCs also, but disproportionate to the number of views and votes compared to Incest category. Click, click. My next story will be in the Loving Wives category.
There are certain words that can be used in your story that may prompt incredibly entertaining PCs. Using the word "Daddy" effectively in the story can actually make some readers believe that they are your father. Here are some examples from comments on my stories:
Still Love Daddy's Dick?
03/28/08 by RichardS50 in USA
Hey Baby girl!! Great story and as your father I can attest to the fact that you do LOVE DICK!! You always love to play with my dick and even your brother's! Remember when I caught you playing with his dick in church? Wow, what a laugh that was!! I also used to watch you while I was pretending to be sleeping, as you used to stare and play with my dick!! My dick was the first one you ever sucked and honey, I'll never forget that you swallowed all of my sperm, like a trooper!! Yes, darling Sarah, come home and love daddy's DICK!!!!
Imagination again!?
04/17/08 by RichardS50
Sarah! Either your imagination is running wild, or you've let one of those good-for-nothing college brats knock you up! If anyone if going to get you preggers it's going to be me!!! I would love sucking your breast milk anytime, after and only after I give you a baby, from the same sperm that made you! Ok? Love Daddy, PS.......hurry home for summer break, we've got some fucking to do!!
The first comment by RichardS50 was on "I Love Dick" and the second was on "Breastfeeding My Brother." He has put similar comments on dozens of my stories. Now, RichardS50 certainly seems like a fine fellow, but I can assure you he is not my father.
RULE 2: Use the word "Daddy" frequently in the story.
Most everybody likes a good chuckle, and if you give them one, maybe they will tell you about it in a PC Comment. Like this:
Vastly Entertaining

That was so funny! I was laughing so hard, but I really loved how you phrased everything! That was great. Very well-written, and comical. And I might add, so very true.
Laughed Like a Drain!
01/28/08 by ShinySee in NZ
Funnier than a politician without his talking points! No really. I thought your 'how to' one of the funniest things I've read in ages. Thanx Shiny
These two comments appeared back-to-back near the end of the comments on "How to F*** Your Daddy." Both individuals are Literotica authors themselves. I don't know them, and I do not believe they had posted a comment on any of my stories before. It's nice to hear a few words of praise from fellow authors who aren't your "buddies."
Please note I selected comments from a "How-to" story rather than a "Humor & Satire" category story. The latter are supposed to be funny. I usually try to interject some humor in most of my stories. If the story makes me laugh when I'm writing it, then I'm guessing it will make someone else laugh when he/she is reading it.
Oh, and I love PCs that make me laugh. Here's one from the same story:
Oh, Sarahhh... such a sweet child
05/25/06 by Pro_Ball_Player
Sarah, thank you for this insightful "How To" guide. Cleverly written with the right balance of eroticism and humor, but, still leaving us wondering if you wrote it from experience, or, from your wishful dreams? Maybe it's good that we don't know, but, I can't help but want to know. I know every girl just loves her Daddy, even if it's in that certain [pretend] special way. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this is re-printed in my favorite magazine in the "Advice" column.
Pro_Ball_Player is also a Literotica author and what made me laugh is that I know what his favorite magazine is.
RULE 3: Make the story funny.
I wrote a dogging story entitled "A Bitch in Heat" where the setting is Scotland. I have never been to Scotland, but the knowledge of all things Scottish reflected in the story impressed readers such that they made comments like this:
Sarahhh Keeps Getting Better
06/28/05 by pard75 in USA
Since I am also of Scottish descent, this story had more than the usual effect (intense erection needing immediate attention). The Glasgow and Edinburgh details seemed all correct, and the dialect was well done. But, readers, please note how much better a writer our Sarah has become. This was her best. Now please excuse me while I attend to an urgent matter.....
Five thumbs up your arse!!!!!

You have quite the way with words my dear. Fascinating story although I suspect it is more your libidinous fantasy than fact. Your knowledge of Scotland does appear to be authentic. But you need private lessons (from me) regarding the sex. Yours, Carlton.
I have had a Scottish Dick before ;)
06/19/05 by menopawzmomma
I have had a Scottish Dick before;) The dick I had was HUGE! It made me think all Scottish men were huge, until I read your story...they're just like the rest of the schmucks!!! ;) Great work!!
You can ride my tartan anytime!
06/17/05 by prop69 in USA
As a man with Scot heritage, Frazier, I loved the story. I played rugby for 11 years, but dogging is a sport you should bring back to the states. Let me know and "I'll be in Pittsburg afore yee!" Bshell
Travelogues
06/17/05 by psychprof67 in USA
Ahh Sarah, somehow I never pictured you as a travel writer. I see it all now, you writing travel tales and historical fiction, hordes of males, and more than a few females, reading them for the sex and inadvertently learning something as well. Welcome home and it is a provocative thought, picturing you in Scotland, my "homeland" too...Psychprof
sarah rocks the jocks
06/16/05 by Anonymous in Scotland
whit a braw story. did ye get a supersized big mac, hen, and wull ye no come back again?
Now where did I get this knowledge of Scotland? Like I said, I've never been there, but I do have some experience with Scottish dicks. I think menopawzmomma must have "seen" prop69's dick, and that's where she got the HUGE notion. That prop69 is so sweet; he posts a comment on all my stories.
RULE 4: Impress your readers with research/knowledge.
Closely related to Rule 4 is Rule 5. Readers like to learn something new pertaining to sexual matters from a story, and frequently will comment on same, requesting more information and the like. Also, occasionally another reader who considers himself/herself to be an "expert" on the subject will chime in with some advice.
In my story "Size Matters, but a Stiffy . . ." I introduced a drug called sexadone that makes it unnecessary for males to be afflicted with MRP (Male Refractory Period). Thus males can attain a true multi-orgasmic response just as females do. Comments such as these resulted:
sarah does it again!!
09/02/05 by boese_ami in Cumshine State
this one really tickled my fancy! where do i get a dose of this stuff?? I haven't got wood like this for a while (not since the cute little night clerk at the Ramada Inn in Stuart sucked me dry at least)....keep it up honey and i'll name you my heir...adopt you, whetever you want.....PLEASE let me be your daddy!!

Sexadone availability and contraindications ...
08/30/05 by Anonymous in USA
Dear author and readers, information about Sexadone(TM) was never intended to be made public until after further testing, marketing prep, and FDA approval. Black market sales of this drug have recently exceed US $500.00 per 100 mg. dosage in the USA, and buyers need to be aware of the inherent dangers of using this drug without professional supervision. Sexadone is actually an injectible cocktail of several medications which include testosterone cyprionate, diazepam, Nubain (nalbufine HCL), and an injectible form of Levitra. It can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or directly into the penis to maximize the erectile effect. I'm currently developing a variation of this medication for female sexual enhancement. We're debating names for the female version: Sexadone XX, or Century 21 Spanish Fly, etc. This version of the medication has proven in initial trials to be extremely beneficial for females, and the only difference is that the testosterone dosage in the original Sexadone was reduced by 75% and supplemented by high dosages of estrogen and leutinizing hormone. So far, both these new medications have proven to be extremely promising for treatment of Erectile Dysfuction and to minimize Male Refractory Periods, as well as to enhance enjoyment and sexual performance in females. However, both these drugs are dangerous when over-used or used in higher than recommended dosages. Black market availability of these medications is problematic. Without physician oversight their use is ill advised, especially in males, where Sexadone abuse may lead to serious permanent injury as a result of prolonged erections and necrotic sequalae. One tragic example to consider is a physician who injected his own penis with Sexadone to prolong his "stiffy." This happened a couple years back. He accidentally overdosed himself. After half a day unsuccessfully trying to make his erection relax, he was in great pain and very embarrassed when he had to go to the emergency room for treatment. He had a penile infarction and tissue necrosis which ultimately required amputation of almost two-thirds of his organ. So, it is wise to beware of where you buy and how you use black market sexual enhancing drugs. Sincerely, Dr. B. R. Lang, Dallas, Texas
