Today, I was reading erotic literature and noticed several errors in syntax, resulting in my mood being killed. I was cockblocked by my need for grammatical correctness. FML

What's really sad is that OP calls fanfiction "erotic literature"

Real-life Grammar Nazis... we meet again! You weren't reading Fifty Shades of Grey, were you? o.O Irregardless, you shouuld become an editor or publisher's assistant if it bothers you to that extent.

15 - I'm so glad you noticed. At my mention of FMyLife's many real-life grammar Nazis, I simply had to throw it in there somewhere. ;D

I don't know if Id call it cockblocking when you were going to flog the dolphin to a book, instead of having real sex with a real life girl.

So glad to know I'm not the only one. Yep, it happens to me, too. This generally means that unless it's published, and sometimes even then, I can't really read erotic literature. Maybe I should offer to edit their stories...

#34, in that realm, another turn-off is going in for anal, only to find that the girl has Crohn's Diesase and only has a semi-colon ;)

Maybe it has been too long since you orgasmed, therefore, you were easily turned on? I would stick to porn, if I were you, so you're guaranteed a good time while getting yourself off.

Something tells me you turned to books after several nights were cut short by you correcting your one night stand in the heat of the moment?

If you don't understand the appeal of erotic stories for females you should really keep your mouth shut and learn something instead of taking shots at the Op.

30 - I can see where you might think that.
But, no I just find authentic discussion more entertaining than slapstick. Get it?

A lot of people do but you aren't going to find it in the comments of a website mostly populated by teenagers.

Where does it say op is female? I'm not saying girls can't enjoy porn - I'm not an idiot - but why turn this into another WWII (Woe is to Women, Incarcerate Imbeciles) battle with out even a spark for it?

You know for some reason I got the idea that OP is a chick, and if that's correct then I don't think playboy is going to help.

I've never looked at a playboy magazine myself, but isn't it full of naked women? Sorry but unless you're not straight then that's not exactly a turn on lol.

You're not straight if you're a female who is turned on by other women.

14 & 22- I'm a straight woman, and I can appreciate attractive women; I don't think it's odd, since females are generally the 'prettier' sex. I don't get turned on by girls, but I will totally stare at a hot chick and be like, "damn! Work it, girl!"

22- please, real life is not so easily defined and pigeonholed.
9- the female imagination is better than any pic. And thinking ain't so bad - try it maybe!
Op - you need to find a better class of book. Or find someone sexy to read it aloud to you.

26 - Yes, but only after Didi corrected it. Originally it said "gramatical", which is quite ironic, considering OP is being a grammar Nazi and a drama queen.

Didi-Can we create an eject button for idiots that kicks them from the FML? Just curious.
Actually, a facepalm button would probably be more satisfying.

33- it's not ironic. OP's issue was with incorrect grammar, not spelling. So they can misspell the crap out of whatever they want, and as long as the grammar is correct, it'll be fine :D

37 - I suppose you're right, but I'm sure OP is also obsessed with conventions, because the two seem to go hand in hand. Most grammar Nazis correct any errors they find in a post, including bad spelling. And I just thought it was ironic because while the OP is babbling on about grammar, s/he didn't even notice the errors in the post.

I'm quite fond of that "Literotica" site myself. Most of them are littered with grammatical and spelling errors, but there are quite a few good stories.

This has happened to me too. It gets you out of the moment when you realize that whoever wrote the story is an idiot.

Me, too. I don't even bother anymore. It's not just the grammar and spelling, either; the stories seldom make sense. Also, what ever happened to description? What about build up before climax? Do these "writers" not know what foreplay is? Ugghh! Damn it, now I'm upset.

This is probably something I'd do.... I catch mistakes in ANYTHING! The other day I went to a college to check it out and a sign on the door spelled "conference" wrong... I'm not sure how it was spelled, but I was very appalled. Hello, it's a college! Don't they know how to spell?!
