I just got an interesting comment on a chapter of my story. It was a comment on a scene where one of my characters were doing a bunch of crazy rolls and hand-springs over and over again. A commenter accused her of trying to practice her speed-running movements so she could clip through the walls.

A few years back, I got a similarly crazy comment on a different story. It involved one of my characters going all sneaky ninja mission-impossible style. The goal of her little black-ops mission? It was to steal a magically enchanted tree nut. A commenter accused her of being a closet squirrel.

So, do you have any crazy comments like that you have encountered in your writing?

One of my characters loves sleeping a lot. But he has shown excellent eloquence once in a stressful situation, and the commenter asked "What kind of pillows was he turning in his previous life"?
I guess it is somewhat funny in a cute way

One of my readers on RR a while back went into extreme detail about why I was a terrible person for making their favorite character suffer more than necessary and letting the one causing it to go pretty much scotch free. To quote some of it as best as I can remember: "You are the salt of the earth who thrives on sadistic pleasure, aimed towards a single entity whom you yourself have created in your image. Do you hate yourself that much or do you see them as something to serve penance for your own sins which you cannot bring yourself to let go of? Have they not suffered enough?"

To say the least, I found it both amusing and similar to a wake-up call. Another one might be "It was at this moment, he realized, he fucked up."

One of my characters is a cat demihuman, who has an ability that lets her copy of her people's skills.

I didn't notice what I had done until a commentor said, "I guess you could say she's a... copy cat!"

Wow. Now I am interested in what the heck you did.

Was the tortured party "a good guy"? And you deciding to let the one holding the hot poker the villain that will live another day?

I wrote a story a while back ago on a different site and in it, I was trying to write these two characters who absolutely hated each other having an argument.

That was it, they weren't in a relationship with each other, they weren't friends in the past or anything, they just genuinely hated each other.

And someone wrote: "the sexual tension here is insane." That one made me giggle a bit.

I've got relatively few comments, but the funniest of them was:

"Okay now I've seen it all... a western duel in a fantasy world"

It made my day.

Comment-less author here waiting for funny answers
This is an oof, I can’t imagine writing something anymore that doesn’t get at least a few thousand views and a couple of comment.
It was a miserable time starting out and scrambling for just 10 readers.

Also my favorite comment was when I updated on one of my less used sites someone commented “yay you’re not dead!” Which IMO was hilarious.

another of my favorites is someone asking if I got a sadistic pleasure out of killing the parents of my MCs. I don’t, but sometimes it’s the only way to move a plot… plus it’s easier to get rid of parents in stories.
Me in a nutshell :blob_pat_sad:

So not a comment, but a review I just got on RR. Essentially the reviewer said she's giving me 3 stars for grammar and 0.5 for everything else. I'm writing a psychopath main character by the way, and she goes into a very long analysis that the main point was, in her words, "It makes her impossible to empathise".
Like lady, I think I did a good job writing the character then?
