All Comments on 'On the Simplicity of Words'

What a wonderful moving tale. Thank you so much.

That was lovely .. my eyes were teary the entire time. I forgot what it was like to read one of your stories. I hope you will write more consistently. Thank you so much for taking me away from reality and filling me with love … Have a very happy holiday and a happy new year !! 🥰🥰😍😍

Please keep writing these singularly sweet stories that grab at my heart strings and refuse to let them go.

I like all your stories but this was something different! Better and deeper.

I would have liked to see them with their parents and a wider cast of friends after they were together but everything up to the revelation of Lea's was completely perfect

So beautiful, that's all I can say between the tears

wow. what a beautiful story. I don't have the words to express how much. Wish i could give it more than 5 stars for sure. Thank you.

I am not crying, nope, definitely not..

No you can't...

Tears aren't happening..

Damn you!

So so good

Damn, where the hell is that 10 star button when you want to punch it?!?

Like Paulyeps, I was pretty much wiping tears thru the whole read too.

What a great story. Personally, I like nothing better than a story that has a little sex in it

far better than a story about sex with a bit of plot tossed in.

5/5

You do know that these stories mean the world to us, right? Just making sure.

I will say that this was the first of your stories I ever found genuinely horrifying - even knowing that they were going to be alright, given both your track-record and this wonderful website, there's something about the absolute bone-deep dread you conjure that kind of got me. Wow. Brilliant! You're on a bit of a roll and I selfishly hope that it continues, at least for a while. :)

But in all seriousness: Please take care of yourself! Write if that's what taking care of yourself means, and take a break if not. I can't promise patience, but I'll really try.

So sweet so lovely. Thank you

Too long

well after I stop sobbing, I'm going to make breakfast, and be ever grateful to you for an inspiring start to my day. Wonderfully crafted, very moving.

A sincere thank you for this lovely work.

Wanda, what kind of wonder drug are you taking? I fell in love with your writing with 'Sketching Sophie', and now in rapid succession, Snowdrop, Jetsam and now this marvel. Thank you for the love and vulnerability in this, the kind of hurt and joyful recovery so present in the last couple of stories you have smithed for us. So, so, good!

I cannot find the right superlatives! This is one of your best! Beautifully and sensitively written! Thank you.

Oh, Wanda, You made this old guy cry! Such a beautiful story, Thank You!

I am sitting here with tears of joy for such a wonderful story. This was a beautiful story of love lost and redeemed. Thank you for sharing your brilliant talents.

Oh shit...I am male, not gay...and this was the sweetest story I think I have ever read.

I cried so much up until the point that Lea was rescued. Thank goodness there was a happy ending. That made me cry in a different way.

Incredible.........loved it!!!!!

You have outstanding talents, and I'm grateful that you share them where I can benefit.

This is a five-star effort.

Another extraordinary story. This time of year just making it all that much more special.

Such a raw and emotional story, your writing is incredible

Thank you for this story. Just the kind of love and redemption that I needed, that salved my soul this holiday season.

You are going to ruin us and that is the best news all day!

First time commenting on any story.

Wow. You have a gift with words. You portrayed the emotions of every moment so I could literally feel the weight of each scene. So well done. Thank you.

A beautiful story, wonderfully told.

I was moved to tears and then again to tears of joy.

Thank you

Beautiful, moving, and another one to make me cry!

WONDERFUL,luved it!!

An absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching story of two soulmates losing each other, finding, and loving each other. I usually don't read lesbian stories; but, I'm glad i read this one. And found a new author. Thank you

Wanda that's perfect and beautiful. Thank you so much.

Beautiful story. Two broken hearts can heal each other. We know this from personal experience. Keep it up!

Beautiful well written. So glad I read it

This is the first of your stories that I've read but won't be the last. Very enjoyable, thank you for sharing.

Oh my goodness! What an absolutely heart-breakingly wonderful story. You’re going to have to change your pen name because you’re definitely not a one hit Wanda! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tale with us. Much love and many thanks.

Omg Wanda, you somehow manage to have me in tears so easily, an utterly beautiful tale of love lost and found and of personalities traumatised by loss. Thank you so much for posting, regards,.

Your work is always excellent, but this was wonderful. You had me from the very opening. Beautiful story and great characters.

Onehitwanda, you are gifted.

There is no better love story on this site. So beautifully written, great emotion and Rosey and Lea happily ever after.

Thank you for your works

10 stars

You’ve given us another beautiful story. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

This......so perfectly paced, so beautifully rendered. I literally, sobbed thru most of this story....my heart was alternately broken, then totally overjoyed.. I absolutely hated to have this end. Absolutely one of the very best stories I have read here. Thank you so much for sharing Rosie and Lea with us.

OMG that made me cry. Superb.

One last comment. You really do punctuate flawlessly, so far as I can tell. It really stands out. This is a quality that even a careful reader notices ordinarily either when it is awful, or brilliant. You fall in the latter camp. Again. beautiful story. I am a 70 year old straight lawyer who mostly writes for a living now also. I am not easily reduced to uncontrollable sobs. Except by you, apparently.

...Wanda, every bit as good as Jetsam and that's saying something. You managed to put a lump or two into this old man's throat which is a sure sign of quality story, quality writing. And it's five stars from me...

Part 2!!!!!! Married and babies!!!!

Unbelievable; perfect. Thank you.

“I'll show you where the pony drawing book is!” Such a poignant love story. You write so very well — captivating storylines and rich, nuanced characters that come to life for us. And, yet, you create different stories full of different characters — so much fun to read your pieces. Thanks.

well done from the start to the end merry Christmas be safe happy and well a fan shayne

Wanda you did it again. Amazing story, I felt the pain they shared and the joy they found. 50 stars if I could give that many. Thank you for sharing this story.

Excellent……

I will probably read this "on repeat" for the foreseeable. Amazing, fabulous, so raw and captivating. Thank you!

You are a many hit Wanda. Another thoroughly enjoyable story. Thank you.

Great.

Truly, truly wonderful. The quality of your writing is superb. A thoroughly enjoyable love story that has brightened my day. I'm going to treat this as an early Christmas present, so thank for your efforts and your gifted inagination.

OMG the most beautiful story I’ve read in … forever. I cried several times.

I first have to say that cancer sucks. I have been surrounded by what it has done to family and friends.

Your story brought tears to my eyes, both from sorrow and of joy. Thanks for your story.

I think this is the most moving story you’ve ever written, and your own bar is set so, so high. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present.

A truly wandaful story! 😁

What a beautiful story! You had me in tears in so many places ... Even given that I'm an old softie - wow.

Thank-you!

absolutely lovely!

Beautiful. Thank you.

Cried like a little kid. thank you!

Omg, 5 stars are not even close to enough. Absolutely beautiful.

♡

A very amazing emotional story, I would give it a 10+++

Incredibly beautiful story! I enjoy your stories immensely anxiously awaiting your next posts. Please keep up the spectacular work.

I was crying and blowing my nose into my dog after the first few paragraphs.

"Punctuation rather than plot"

Amazing.

There are no words I can put down to describe how this heart-rendingly beautiful collage of literature made me feel. Been reading literotica for over a decade.

Best story I've ever read. Period. Fuckin'. Dot.

Beautiful.....Awesome...........I loved it. Thank you for bringing these 2 to life and letting me know them.

I love your stories and this is just the most recent example of why. This was beautiful story. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a healthy new year. Thanks.

Wanda has more than one hit. Thanks for the story. 5's

A truly Beautiful story, from a truly beautiful sole. Thank you so very very much for writing this, it was as beautiful of a story as I have ever read. I hope you have a life that is as full of promise and love as that of the characters in this story!

I LOVE the way you write! Beautiful storytelling.!

I love your writing style. Wish you wrote more.

Another wonderful story full of heart and sadness overcome.

This is my introduction to your work. This single piece makes you amply eligible for the Nobel Prize in Erotic Literature. You have crafted a marvelous story: you have created characters we come to know and cherish, we suffer with, and ultimately exult in. Your words convey both the grittiness of Lea's flat and the North Afican fairyland Rose conjured at the end.

Your writing is technically flawless. This is the first piece where my eye has stumbled over some misspelling, punctuation error, or grammatical/usage/syntax lapse. Bravo! Yet even more than that you have a lovely style that is pellucid; eventually, this reader lost sight of the words and settled into the flow of the narrative. Not just 5 stars, Nobel Prize-worthy.

Wow! That was an incredible ride. My God, that story tore at my heart. Thank you for sharing this with us. 5 stars only because I can't give more.

I read your stories with awe. The interplay of the characters; the genuinely human emotional connection; the ebb and flow of the story; the doubt, love, self-criticism, all the real human dynamics. Yours are not just quick fuck stories. I almost think the sex is unnecessary but the way you write it into the narrative it seems natural and graceful. Thanks for contributing. Please know you are valued.

Correction: should have read "This is the first piece where my eye has not stumbled over . . . ."

A big oops, and my apologies.

Elegantly written. Superb emotions and dialogue. I loved the exploration of their vulnerabilities and doubts and the eventual coming together. Well done.

"You took my hand and showed me where the pony drawing book was."

Oh my.

You broke me. I have gone through almost an entire box of tissue.

Wow.

Well that made me cry alot, but held within these words is a work of art. Thank you.

A beautifully written story. Thank you for sharing this with us!

An emotional experience which made my heart ache and my eyes moist. Beautiful! Please keep writing.

I aspire to write as beautifully as you. I'm almost a wreck (but in a good way) when I get to the end of your stories. Please don't stop!

Seriously, you need to think about changing your user name. You have shown that you are capable of writing consistently good stories, not just one hit.

So beautiful and tears jerker

Great story. Well written. Gave it 5 stars because it’s better than some of the other higher rated stories.

Was a little jarred by Lea’s description of her fiancé’s sexuality (he’s not interested in her body because he has “other tastes”). Makes it sound like he’s into something illegal/unethical (like minors). Seemed casually homophobic to later discover he’s just gay. Oddly no explanation why in (apparently current day?) England at a university he’d need an unenthusiastic beard. That he’s gay doesn’t excuse his bad behavior. But her attitude towards his sexuality felt like disgust/disdain not just disappointment/sadness. She could have just said men are more his taste or he’s not interested in women. Just a thought.

Wonderfully written emotional story with a HEA. This is the best story I've read yet. Keep up the good work.

1It's been awhile since a story has made me cry. Very well written.

OK--I'm a no-nonsense, tough as nails airline pilot kicking ass and taking names in a man's world. And I just bawled like a little girl. What a beautiful piece of writing!

Wow, what beautiful writing. I disagree with the comment, below, that the author's use of the words "other tastes" was homophobic. I felt is was a delicate and tasteful way of introducing her captor's homosexuality, without demeaning his preference in the least, except as it reflected on the demeaning way in which he was using her.

I love your writings, the 1st story of yours that I read was Archangel which I loved quickly followed by all the others posted on the site. Since then, I’ve eagerly waited for your new stories- I’ve not been disappointed.Keep it up please!

... I don't know what to say. I legitimately cannot express all the things this story made me feel. I'm not even sure I could name all the things this story made me feel. An absolute masterpiece.

<bypasses my "favorites" list to add this to my "made me weep like a fucking baby" list.>

A delightful piece. Could -maybe should - be rewritten as a novel.

Incredible…….

I have never written a comment. I have read hundreds of stories and none have compared to this it was beautifully well written and I couldn't help but fall in love with these characters. Thank you for that beautiful story. It didn't need a ton of sex like most I read. I just felt a real connection to these 2 characters. It was written so well. Thank you. It was well worth staying up past my bedtime to read

OMG. I can barely write as tears drop on my keyboard. So beautiful. I hope you get a kick out of all the guys who make comments about being moved to tears reading your wonderful stories.

Thank you,

Lee

If anybody reads this story and doesn’t at least get misty, should have their pulse checked. Two halves can make a whole and I have never seen two more lost halves in my life. The story was as close to perfect as I ever read. Thanks Wanda. It’s beautiful!!

Your writing has one thing that you should take great pride in

Heart

Your characters are not stereotypes, not cliches, they come across as real people, real vunerable souls that need...that deserve love.

Peaches

You made me cry. I’m an old straight man and this was a beautiful story. Thank you.
