Writing Update and Thinking About Cuckold Stories

Good evening everyone!

I am very nearly finished with commission three (hoping to be done tomorrow). Unfortunately, due to the nature of the commission, it isn't something I can post on Patreon. But... if anyone emails me privately at grogstoopid32@gmail.com, I am always willing to share early drafts in exchange for feedback... wink wink.

Commission three is going to be slightly over 150 pages in length, so I expect it to be four parts give or take when posted publicly. After drafting I will be moving on to editing, which should take a few days, after which, I will be outlining and drafting Downward Dog Part 2.

In the meantime, I was interested in picking the brains of my audience here regarding cuckold stories.

So, quick story time about a minor disappointment of mine. It regards the story "Multitasking". When I finished "Multitasking" I was really excited. It was maybe the story I was most excited to release of all of my stories. It really resonated with me, and I thought it was really hot.  I somehow felt that it was the story that was really going to take off.

Long story short: it didn't. I wouldn't call it a complete failure, it got some very kind complimentary comments, and has almost 20 thousand views as of this post. I'm sure many authors would be happy with that result. But the fact remains that it is one of my lowest rated stories.

It made me stop and think. Why would a story that I thought was so good get such a lukewarm reception? I started to suspect that my tastes were out of step with the general public when it came to cuckold stories.

Multitasking is the story of a boyfriend straight up losing and being humiliated. The ending is pretty dark, and doesn't leave much hope. The MC is a wimp, and suffers major degradation. I find it hot when a cuckold story involves deep, lasting betrayal, and the man finding twisted pleasure in their own humiliation. But I am concerned that I am in the minority there.

When it comes right down to it, I want to write stories that other people like, and I think maybe my sensibilities when it comes to stories about infidelity are getting in the way of that. I'm curious what other people think about their ideal cuckolding story. Let me know in the poll and in any comments below. Your feedback is valuable!

P.S. Edit: I also want to acknowledge the possibility that "Multitasking" just isn't that good of a story and I had a poor reading on its quality! I'm not immune from having a big head after all. I think all authors have a soft spot for some of their not-so-good stories from time to time, and maybe that happened here.

In my ideal cuckolding story...
