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!

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!!
