LADY CYRRH...WHO IS SHE? Who am I? Well, the Cyrrh can refer either to stripper Lili St Cyr...or, pronouncing it as it's written, as "Sir." Lady Sir. Get it? It's always fun to leave your gender just the tiniest bit ambiguous. Speaking of those who enjoy reading about the Dynamic Duo, about a month or so back another tongue-in-whatever Batman story appeared...about the rape of Robin! Poor Robin gets absolutely no respect, though Chris O'Donnel's portrayal in "Batman Forever" was what made the movie worth seeing, IMO. "The Rape of Robin" has been getting numerous requests for reposts and completion (the author only got up to part 3) but it hasn't reappeared yet. If the author is reading this, I promise to write a review. Speaking of Batman, I can't wait to see what George Clooney does with the role. I thought Michael Keaton's Batman was too uptight--he acted like he had a stick shoved up his ass all the time--while Val Kilmer's was wooden, with the facial mien of a contemplative orangutan. Perhaps Mr. Clooney will inspire some more stories, about Batman himself this time? Snow [A-] Warrior [A-] When posted: 6/11/97 Where posted: ASSG Author: rick.wagner@mansco.com (Rick Wagner) The narrator of "Snow" gets stuck in a rapidly worsening snowstorm and pulls off the highway. He gets something to eat in a nearby restaurant and is attracted to the young waiter who serves him, whom he later meets and fucks in an adult video store courtesy of a glory hole, and after that they rent a motel room together and have lusty yet playful sex. In "Warrior" the same guy (?), seduces a fellow Marine in a battleship shower, with rather raunchier sex (come on, they're Marines.) Not much character development or plot in these besides the sex, but both were well written except for a case of "let's see how many synonyms we can find for penis." (There were a lot.) A few of the sexual descriptions were truly stunning--directness without literary pretension. It's always refreshing to read about hot sex where the participants have a good time and aren't exploiting, hurting, or demeaning each other. Why do mostly-straight women like to read about gay male sex? For the same reasons mostly-straight men like to read about lesbian sex. Dark Mark [D] When posted: 6/11/97 Where posted: ASSG Author: ? Young Mark goes out to the city to score in the clubs with his silver cock ring on. He goes into the men's room and gets used and abused and peed on. At least that's what I think happened. The story was so badly written that, if you took out the punctuation and capitol letters, it would read like free-form verse assembled by Burroughsian fragmentation. There were flashes of good stuff in here, but the author really needs to learn how to tell a coherent story. Plus too many typos, misspellings, POV shifts, tense problems, and awkward grammatical errors to mention. Teacher [A] When posted: 5/22/97 Where posted: ASSM Author: Anne018bi Two young, pretty lesbians go for a walk along a lake, the first entertaining the second with descriptions of her role as a "teacher" to another pair of lesbians who didn't have a clue as to what they should be doing. Naturally, the narrator and her girlfriend get pretty hot in the telling. This story was well written and literate; for some strange reason, though, I kept picturing the girls as Southern semi-redneck chicks who were the first in their families to get a college degree. No matter. The author already knows how to tell a good story, so the only suggestion I'd make is to flesh it out more with personal detail, but overall it deserves its A. For aol users, more of the author's stories are available on an ftp site at aol://5862:144/users.aol.com:/anne018bi. Story: Just Deserts [B] When posted: 6/13/97 Where posted: ASSB Author: nobody@REPLAY.COM (Anonymous) In a small town somewhere in heartland of America, a new means of punishment has been devised for disobedient young men. They are taken to a pavilion, stripped, and strapped while hanging by their wrists. The narrator has turned in her son for vandalism and watched him pay for it, but after accusing a politician of sexual harassment, she finds herself up for the same punishment. All this makes the story sound longer and more complicated than it was. There was a slight kinkiness in the fact that the son watches mom being whipped, but otherwise the writing was competent and there were no surprises. Confessions of Slave Vivian Chapter 4569 [A] When posted: 6/14/97 Where posted: ASS, ASSB Author: Slave Vivian OR yonny@NOSPAM!worldnet.att.net This little gem was tucked way, way back in mounds of steamy spam, and I'm glad I took a peek. A short but hilarious parody of the done-to-death "slave's confession" story, in the manner of Eli the Bearded's "I've Got Big Tits" a month or so back. I hope the writer reposts this. "Alt.sex.stories - A Subculture" [no rating] When posted: 6/12/97 Where posted: ASS Author: Ole.Joe@poboxes.com Finally, a much-needed listing of the authors, reviewers, and reposters who've been active on alt.sex.stories over the past few years, along with an index of their stories. Download this immediately; it's worth it. Note to Ole Joe: you may want to post this version more than once to make sure everyone catches it. Personal note to the self-aggrandizing author who concluded a recent multi-part posted story with instructions on "how to write:" A. Get a job. Fast food workers are always in demand. B. Shut up.
