Second note: A very modest lady applied for a job at the factory where they made "Tickle me Elmo dolls". It was Friday and almost quitting time and hurriedly the boss told her to report for work on Monday. He quickly explained to her that she would be stationed on the assembly line just before the dolls were packed into boxes. On Monday they started up the line and within twenty minutes had to shut it down because one worker couldn't keep up. The boss went down the line to find the problem. The new employee was very busy trying to do her part but she had a bunch of dolls waiting for her. Closer examination showed she was sewing little cloth bags containing two walnuts in the appropriate place on the dolls. The boss could not control his laughter and said, "Lady, I said to give each doll Two----Test----Tickles."

It tells the tale of a unusual girl who is a special lady who is quite different from normal people, in more than just her sanity. Angie, baby, you're a special lady Livin' in a world of make believe - well, maybe Stoppin' at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind Cause he's been peekin' in Angie's room at night thru her window-blind I see your folks have gone away, would you dance with me today I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby That about sums it up, except to say When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play And the music's so loud it spins him around 'til his soul has lost its way And as she turns the volume down, he's getting smaller with the sound It seems to pull him off the ground, towards the radio he's bound Never to be found What the author has done is take the song and build a really strange but interesting story around it.

This one is the Older Bear. He often writes about sex between adults and very young people. The Younger Bear never does that. This story is in the form of a ballad. If you read it, just imagine Johnny Cash singing it to the tune of "Sink the Bismarck," and it will all make sense. As the author tells us right up front, the older man has sex with the younger girl, but he pays. Poetry - even a raunchy ballad - evokes very subjective reactions. I may have been influenced by the fact that a song about an old guy fucking a 14-year-old is not my cup of tea. Of course, my husband has been lusting over Lee Ann Rimes since she was that age, but that's something entirely different - isn't it? Still, this was an interesting if not euphoric little ditty.

That title makes more sense. The young lady goes to the church and confesses her sins to Father Ryan. Until recently she had been a virgin, but then her best friend's nerdy brother stuck his penis through the bottom of a box of popcorn at a movie and offered her some, and before you could count to three million by tens she had become the village slut. It even turns out that Father Ryan was one of the guys who had gangbanged her when she was blindfolded. Imagine that.

That is, they are Top Guns. That is, they are fighter pilots who shoot down enemy planes in a heroic manner, thus earning themselves adrenaline rushes and numerous drinks as their reward. In this case, Piper has saved his friend Bandit, whose ass was grass until the hero shot down the Chinese enemy in a marvelous manner. Then they go on leave. Piper is a straight family man, loyal to his wife Ilene, whom he hasn't been with in over a year. Bandit is the Playboy of the Western and possibly Eastern World. They are on leave in Los Angeles, a city with a couple of million angels - er, women - to steal Bandit's attention. But then Bandit develops an eye for Ilene, and Piper's leave ends four days before Bandit's. What kind of an asshole would chase after the wife of his best friend - especially his best friend who has just recently saved him from certain death? Stay tuned to find out. This is an excellent story. Good romance and hot sex in the context of a good action plot.

Claire is an assistant district attorney. Stone is an asshole whom she sent to the slammer. Tommy is Claire's mentally retarded brother. Stone gets Tommy involved in sexual and criminal activity to get back at Claire. He hopes eventually to strip Claire of all her dignity. The plot gets really complicated. Had this happened to the assistant district attorney in Dallas, she would have simply reported the matter to Chuck Norris, who would have kicked but for her. I felt this was an interesting attempt, but a not-quite-satisfying story. The sex is not really hot; the focus is on sexual blackmail rather than sexual activity. Ultimately, there are a few too many loose ends. Ratings for "Redemption" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 "Stacy's Senior Year" by Parker.

Unfortunately, so was Hitler and Charles Manson. Technically, it's a well-crafted bit of writing centered around a strong plot. Well, it starts out strong but quickly reaches a plateau and then never progresses. It's a black story about equally murky people who live lives of deep, resentful anger and thrill only to the unceasing denigration of others. The characters are all caricatures - exaggerations of human failings and without redemption. The women are either drop-deal gorgeous and totally narcissistic or are short, squat, fat toads. The men are either faceless, muscle-bound behemoths on the football team or are skinny, pimply, four-eyed nerds. In the 350K bytes (>60,000 words) of this novella, there is not one healthy, admirable, attractive person. This quickly became a dreary and off- putting landscape of vengeful and angry dysfunction. The story line centers around revenge. Over-the-top revenge. For all the times that inadequate, nerdy guys have felt put down by cheerleader- attractive, vein and spiteful bitches, this story by Parker provides the vehicle for a seeming unending sequence of excess, all in the name of getting even. That the magnitude and character of the revenge is so extraordinarily disproportionate to the offense never surfaces as an issue. Indeed, it serves as no more than a justification for exorbitance. Stacy, the prototypical haughty bitch, is blackmailed by the nerd kingdom. Face is everything and to save that, she's got to do whatever she's told. That goes so far beyond the personal sexual gratification of the nerds, it quickly passes through unlikely and mind-boggling into the land of shameful excess. With mild fascination, I read the first fifteen or twenty percent of the book. Then with mindful determination bred of duty, I read the next ten or fifteen percent. At this point it was clear I was on a plateau of malediction characterized by a slowly moving muddy stream of slur, disparagement and invective abuse. When I didn't think it could get any worse, it got worse. This is embittered stuff of the first magnitude. Stacy must fuck 50, then 55, then 65 and finally 66 of her school mates, to include at least one woman and at least one teacher. Why not 500? After no notable conclusion, the story stops. There's no literary ending; there's just a place where Parker grew weary and stopped the hateful story. I suppose for the resentfully angry and embittered fans of this genre, this might loom as a major work. If nothing else, it served to underline the gratitude that I live in a different world.

Guest Review by R'khaan (rkhaan@ix.netcom.com). http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350872335 If semi-hardcore S&M is your cup of tea, this story might be just what you're looking for. The author doesn't waste much time getting to the point of the story as the narrator's sitting drinking iced tea with Gina, some PYT (pretty young thing) his wife, Alex, has picked up from some where. The narrator was told by his wife to keep his hands off Gina - she a treat for him. Once Alex gets home, she orders Gina to strip right there on the porch and proceed to put a choke chain and leash on the girl. What happens next is a mixture of bondage, S&M and audio-voyeurism - the narrator isn't allowed to watch the proceedings. So, within earshot but out of site, the narrator listens to Alex having the time of her life with Gina. The author does a good job letting you use your imagination as to what's going on behind the closed door. After a while, Alex emerges and leads our horny narrator to the scene - his gift, I presume. Once in the room, he finds Gina trussed and stuffed like the proverbial Christmas turkey; an interesting touch is the presence of needle caps in great abundance in the room. I'm surprised the author added the needles, with all the concern these days over HIV, AIDS, and hepatitis. However, whatever floats your boat, right? Anyway, the narrator gets to have his way with the helpless Gina, much to his (and Gina's) delight. What tickled me was the part when Alex asks her master, the narrator, for permission to cum. He gives it and she blows her cookies instantly and gives big time props to the premise that women are in better control of their orgasms than men are. Hell, I wish I could get my woman to come on command… In his preface to this story, the author warns this story may not be appropriate for the usual groups - and grammar freaks. With this in mind I'll get to the technical aspects of this story. Throughout the story, you can tell the author is either British or Canadian by his use of the UK spelling of the word "civilized," spelled with an "s". Grammatically, it's not bad; however, there are too many short sentences for this reviewer's liking. Ratings for "Such A Gift!"

Guest review by jubjub. http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832207 Story Summary: Man tells about his unfaithful wife This is a story that should have been rewritten. It reads like a rough draft for a creative writing assignment. The verbs are largely passive and the sentences are broken up by too many asides. Tightening up the writing and putting more action words in would have improved the flow of the story. There were also a few spelling, homophone and grammar errors. The plot is basic: Guy comes home at noon for a quickie; finds wife already having one. Guy finds himself turned on and decides to keep what he saw to himself. Later tells wife what he saw only to find that she made videos. All this is told without sufficient emotional depth to make the reader care what happens to anybody. Greater emphasis on the inner thoughts of the narrator or a better description of the wife's attitudes is sorely needed. Worse, the story seems to end abruptly and doesn't quite match up with the introduction. It's a nice story for a creative writing class (I would give it a B+) but the sex is underdescribed and flat. Not one of the better stories that I have read. Ratings for "Tryst and Tempest" Technical: 8 Good but a rather boring style Characterization and Plot: 7.5 Decent characters but no emotion. Abrupt ending Appeal: 7 A nice story for a creative writing class "Cal and the Card Game(s)" by Unknown. Posted by MrRedWings (mrredwings@aol.com). Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan. http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832140 The best card games in the world are played in alt.sex.stories. The husband in this story must be the worst poker player on the face of the Earth. After he loses all his money, all the poker buddies leave, except Calvin. Calvin says he'll keep playing, if the husband will agree to use his wife's clothes for the ante. A few hands later, his wife is naked. Calvin suggests they can continue playing if the wife will remove Calvin's clothes whenever Calvin loses a hand. Seems logical to me! After this little agreement, hubby's luck changes, and he can't seem to lose a hand. The wife strips Calvin's clothes off piece by piece, until Calvin's big black eleven-inch cock rears up. It turns out the wife has had a long-standing fantasy to be fucked by big black cocks. Those fantasies are then fulfilled. In many ways, this is just a plain ridiculous story. But I give the author some credit-- he makes a half-hearted attempt to explain the wife's obsession with black men. As slut wife stories go, this one isn't bad, but it's nothing special.

Guest review by Sandman (sandman@bitsmart.com). http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11038.txt http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11039.txt http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11037.txt I have a love/hate relationship with this author. I love the care he takes to develop his plot and characters. I love the way he can make a slut wife story seem believable, tangible and even desirable. Take for instance "Hospitality" where we have a happily married couple who as a favor allow a hot stud to stay in their house so he can attend college. This computer geek is tall, well built, handsome, and believe it or not -- decent and shy. Alana, Kevin's wife, actually has to WORK at getting Toni to fulfill her and her husband's fantasies. The summary doesn't sound so believable does it? That's because all the wonderful details, hints, and personality quirks are missing -- things Yarblack supplies in abundance. Shoot, the sex is even hot, which is a pretty good quality to have in this newsgroup. The hate part comes in because of the TRIVIAL problems that prevent this story from being a truly orgasmic read. For one there is no blank line between paragraphs (Not necessarily a point reduction but it tends to set the story on that slippery slope). There are a few misused words and ambiguous sentences that I might have overlooked if those were the only problems with this story. But alas, again the biggest problem with this story is with the formatting which causes the story to read like this paragraph: Readable but distracting. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have a truly wonderful story, something that on plot, character, and appeal (oh yea, and the sex) I'd be recommending to Celeste as a top 20 candidate, and have to give it anything less than a perfect score. So it's not going to get the perfect score. It's not going to appear on the top 20. But it is good and it is hot and it is worth trying to read through the frustrating formatting.

Review by Nick (email: Nick@cassandra.demon.co.uk) http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832259 This is the last story in the set, and I have to confess that I've only read two of them - this one and Harvest Moon. I wondered if I should read the other two before reviewing this; but I decided that since this was a set, not a series, the story ought to stand on its own and be reviewed as such. Those who have read the set will know that it covers the development of a lesbian relationship between two young girls, Kate and Linda, over the period of a year. At this final stage the girls have fallen out over Linda's "infidelity" to Kate with a young man, and the story covers how they get back together. This seems like good material for passionate making-up scenes, but instead the writer has chosen to concentrate on the emotional tension between the two girls. What sex there is, is pretty insignificant and only takes place within the last few paragraphs. For me the only character who works well is Kate's father, who, it turns out, is more knowing about Kate's night-time excursions with Linda than expected (but not *that* knowing!). There is a little technical mess as to whether he has degreased his hands or not after repairing his tractor... (possibilities there perhaps!? - Well not in a story of this type.) As for the slow painful reconciliation of Kate and Linda, this seemed a bit lumpy, and I found myself almost crying out: 'Look, you want it - she wants it, why not just...do it!!' Well, perhaps my understanding of the female mind is lacking! Even so, if Linda's betrayal of Kate hurt that much, I would have expected to see some anger there or at least more insight as to what's going on in her head. Instead we are simply told how difficult Kate finds it to forgive (not really why) and how both of them have been crying every night since *it* happened. Personally I found this just frustrating! In the end, the situation isn't really resolved. It has the potential to be quite a good ending, in showing how the bond between the two girls has matured as a result of the experience. A few more lines could have brought this out, but instead we are left with too much of a question mark which doesn't really suit the end of a set. In short, this may work for some of those who prefer to explore the emotional side rather than the sexual side, but it didn't work for me. I preferred harvest Moon, and I know this writer can do better! In marking this, by my standards I would give it 8 for Technique, 6 for plot and character and 6 for general appeal. Normalizing this to the "Celestial Standard" my ratings are: Athena (Technical) - 9 Venus (Plot & Character) - 8 Nick (Appeal to me) - 6 "Posing: A story in two parts" by Jonathan Cooper (agjonath@ozemail.com.au). Reviewed by Mark Aster (myfrthal@aol.com). http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=352302822 A nice sexy premise, some good writing, some hot sex. We have a young artist and a well-built model, with the refreshing difference that the artist is female and the model is male. But the end result is about as expected . The subject line gave a storycode of "f/m"; to put it strictly in the Current Convention, it would be "MF", or possible "FM". Adults The author uses a couple of related interesting gimmicks here. The story is told twice, once from the viewpoint of each character. To help us compare the two versions, the paragraphs are numbered. The numbering strikes me as sort of silly; given that the two accounts are very similar in all particulars, I can't imagine that a reader would need any help in figuring out what parts of the two go together! And, more deeply, it seems sort of a waste that the two accounts are SO similar. I imagine the author intends there to be interesting differences between them, but I didn't find any in a natural reading (and I'm not willing to do a line-for-line comparison to look for them). The two stories are really just the same one story twice, with a few slight nods to point of view. In some cases, the two are nearly word-for-word identical: "squeezed my middle finger deep into her cunt alongside my tool" vs. "squeezed a finger into my cunt alongside his tool", for instance. So it was really like reading the story twice, which was OK since it was a nice sexy story, but it didn't live up to the expectations engendered by the device.

Jeanette has the Mother from Hell. In this story she calls her mother to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. The conversation is very well written, full of ordinary words and sentences that normal people exchange every day. Within just a few seconds I didn't like Jeanette's mother at all. When we celebrate Mother's Day we often fail to think about how painful that holiday can be to a woman whose own mother is a bitch and who wants to become a mother herself but has been unsuccessful. Bob recognizes Jeanette's difficulty and is very supportive. I suppose this story could be understood and enjoyed in stand-alone isolation, but then you would miss the fun of fitting this story in with the entire saga of Bob and Jeanette Brennan. These are two normal people who are struggling to make ends meet while they are growing into a loving couple in the early years of their marriage.

Don and Kathy are in love and want to have a baby together. As good luck would have it, they are married (to each other!), but as bad luck would have it, Don has to go out of town on business for a month just when Kathy knows she will be most fertile. Can this happy marriage survive this trauma? I know enough from watching "Days of Our Lives" to suspect that their marital bliss will be disrupted. Stay tuned for the next paragraphs! As soon as Don leaves, Kathy desperately misses him. To make matters worse, she has just stopped taking the pill; and so she is "more responsive," as her doctor, who displays Psychology Today along with Cosmopolitan and Readers Digest in his waiting room, put it. So when she finds herself getting horny watching a sexy show on television, she reaches for the vibrator and responds happily to its stimulation. As we fade to commercial, Kathy is recovering from the best orgasm she has had in the long week since Don has been absent. But wait! Something's gone berserk on my mental TV screen. People are humping, but that's not Don and Kathy! It's not even Bo and Hope or John and Marlena and/of Kristen! It's a bunch of primitive tribesmen and women! My mental TV screen has merged my soap opera with the Discovery Channel! I am reminded of those days back in the library of my Catholic school when the boys used to read National Geographic so that they could see the Naked Natives of Namibia. But I digress. A primitive woman is describing her difficulties getting pregnant. Not having a gynecologist or Psychology Today, she is acting on the theory that her infertility problem arises from the fact that her mating hole doesn't suck at her mate's skin staff the way other women's do. Neither Doctor Ruth nor Psychology Today could put it more elegantly. Now the story becomes a bit technical. The woman belongs to a tribe of hunters and gatherers. While she is out gathering and her several mates are elsewhere hunting, she is approached by a wanderer who is wandering and who fucks her in such a way as to make her mating hole suck quite vigorously at his skin staff. Now the men in the tribe no longer satisfy her; and the woman begins to wander while she gathers, looking for her wandering man. The Country Music Television channel is beginning to encroach on my already confused mental imagery! My mental TV image is fixed. I'm back with Kathy. She still misses Don, but she has joined her friend Sandy; and the two of them are going to a hot night spot together. So that they won't have to stand around waiting in line to get in, Kathy is dressed to kill. I'm back on the familiar turf of the American TV soap opera. The dialogue in the bar is again familiar: "Waiting for your husband?" The stranger's voice is deep and smooth and sends shivers down Kathy's spine. "No," she replies, aware that she might become a wanderer. "Waiting for me, then. Come dance with me." I'm on well-known ground now - As she spirals toward eternal damnation, Kathy again and again says no but means yes and the stranger fucks her brains out repeatedly and they both cum ecstatically and she's sure as hell going to be pregnant with this guy's baby. Poor Don! I have to talk to the cable company. We're back on the Discovery Channel again. The aboriginal woman has wandered and has found another man with a cock and stamina that legends are made of. He rams her so solidly that she knows for certain that she is now with child. I have to talk to the cable company; I am getting the picture from the Discovery Channel but the soundtrack from the porn channel - all I hear is grunting; these people don't even converse before or after mating. Once the guy gets her pregnant, the woman stops showing her old enthusiasm for sex and the man leaves her. I sense a transition back to ordinary TV. Back to normal! Kathy is acutely aware that she has been unfaithful to Don; but she can take consolation in the fact that this is an American soap opera and she is now pregnant with someone else's baby. Maybe she'll move to Salem or to Aramid. She's worried that Don will see the bruises that cover her body and suspect something has happened. I respond mentally: "Cut the guilt trip, honey. What do you think Donny Boy has been doing these past ten days?" But there's good luck: Don is going to be away for two weeks longer than planned; the bruises will heal, and he may never find out about Kathy's infidelity. All she has to do is lie a little and sleep with him. Yeah; that always works on the soaps. "But what about the baby?" you ask. And what if Sandy realizes she is in love with Don and blackmails Kathy or seeks lesbian fulfillment? That's all I'm going to tell you. You'll have to read the story yourself to find out who has whose baby and the answers to your other questions. My apologies to Wollstonecraft. This really is a creative story. As you can tell from the rating, I enjoyed it immensely. I wonder what that article in Psychology Today really said.

Link compiler's note: Unless someone reposts this story it may be lost forever. "The CEO of Fieldbrook has to be at this charity ball." So says the husband. But the wife of the CEO would rather ball the CEO than go to the ball. Therefore, she tempts him at home before they leave for the festivities. He makes it to the ball and finds another beautiful woman coming on to him while he is at the podium - and he with his wife's lipstick barely dry on his cock! His wife wards off this predator and continues to flirt with her husband. But has she gone too far? She doesn't care if they are married; there is a limit to what it is legal to do under the eyes of a hundred people. A limit - but a very generous limit. She is so relieved that at least this isn't going to be a repeat of the Ladies Room Experience that she doesn't even mind when he tears off her panties and plunges into her in the room at the Regency. Based on personal experience, I have no problem believing that this story is very, very plausible.
