At least, that was the original idea. There's also some sex in it, so you kids stop reading now and go watch some murders on TV, ok? Changes: 27 Dec 1997 -- New story, Two on One, as well as two short "trash" parodies 16 Jan 1998 -- New story: Soccer Moms, and some general cleanup. Note: For the Web version of this FAQ, as well as copies of the stories themselves, see . Index: Q1. Are the Allen Sisters real? Q2. Is your name really Mark Aster? Q3. What are the girls' favorite sexual positions? Q4. How many My Friends the Allens stories are there? Q5. Why do you post them anonymously? Q6. Are there any pictures of the girls available? Q7. What do the girls do for a living? Are they whores? Q8. What happened there? Q9. How old are the girls, anyway? Q10. Are you OK? Q11. Why don't you have kinkier action? Q12. What do YOU know about BDSM, anyway? Q13. Don't the girls have any faults? Q14. Who are Heather and Carrie? Q15. Are the stories copyrighted? Q16. What action figures and collectible trading cards? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Q1. Are the Allen Sisters real? A1. There are at least two people you could be asking that question of: the fictional narrator (the "I" of the stories), and the perhaps equally fictional author, Mark Aster. We'll ask both of them. Narrator: They certainly are! Flesh and blood, muscle and bone, tits and ass. Author: No. Although they're based on my experience with women in general, I don't know any woman, and definitely not two sisters, simultaneously as intelligent and as round-heeled as Pat and Julie. Q2. Is your name really Mark Aster? A2. Again, it depends on who you're asking. The name of the fictional narrator never seems to come up in the stories. The name of the equally fictional author is in fact Mark Aster. If there's anyone else involved, he or she isn't willing to testify. But enough of this postmodern bullshit; let's get to the sex. Q3. What are the girls' favorite sexual positions? A3. Good question: I'll ask... Pat says hers is "face to face, woman on top." Julie says "any flavor of mouth-to-flesh". But I think if you were to ask them again tomorrow, you'd get a different answer. Mostly, they like variety. One of my personal favorites is penis-in-woman. Q4. How many My Friends the Allens stories are there? A4. Hundreds, especially if you count the raunchy ones that Pat makes up on the spur of the moment to enhance the atmosphere during sex. I don't know how many will make it to print; so far, there are at least 60 (not counting the FAQ, here). Places to watch are alt.sex.stories, alt.sex.stories.moderated, http://users.aol.com/myfrthal/, and your favorite adult text-file BBS. See the Appendix for a quasi-reliable list. Q5. Why you post them anonymously? Are you ashamed? A5. Some people think that all anonymous postings are necessarily cowardly, irresponsible, and not worth reading. If you're one of those people, you should stop reading at once, and permanently killfile all anon servers and MyFrThAl@aol.com, you poor, suffering, sensitive little shithead. If you're a more rational person, you can choose your favorites from the following list, or make up your own: 1. My wife and kids wouldn't understand. 2. My husband and kids wouldn't understand. 3. My mommy and daddy wouldn't understand. 4. My probation officer wouldn't understand. 5. My patients wouldn't understand. 6. My constituents wouldn't understand. 7. My parishioners wouldn't understand. 8. My real name is "Egbert Hathaway Dickless". (Hey, I made Pat laugh out loud! Two points for me.) Q6. Are there any pictures of the girls available? A6. Not at the moment, sadly. Photographs won't pass through the gateway, and my artistic talents are nil. We would LOVE it if someone with talent would do some sexy poses of the girls and make them available. Of course, they wouldn't look exactly like anyone else's idea of what they look like, but that's OK. Julie would also very much like a picture of Daphne Bouchard (from "French Kiss") for her bedroom wall. Q7. What do the girls do for a living? Are they whores? A7. Pat is an independant graphic designer and technology consultant; as she says, "On the Net, no one knows you're a stacked 25-year-old nympho". (No, I don't know what she was doing waitressing in the diner the first time I saw her; she won't tell me.) Julie is working her way through the pre-law program at L.T.U. by doing the occasional modelling job, and sponging off of her sister (Pat wrote that last bit). I don't know of either of them taking money for sex, although it wouldn't surprise me at all, the depraved greedy little sluts. Aaaah... Q8. What happened there? A8. Uh, Julie is trying to distract me by rubbing her naked body against me. Now she's kneading my erection through my pants. Don't worry, I'm still listening. Q9. How old are the girls, anyway? Sometimes Julie is eighteen, for instance, and sometimes she's nineteen. A9. People do age, you know! When we first met, Julie was eighteen, Pat was twenty-three, and I was twenty-five. Now Julie, who has just unzipped my pants and is stroking my cock with her fingers, is twenty-one, and Pat and I are getting really old. Ah, my God! Q10. Are you OK? A10. I'm afraid the girls have decided to interfere with the interview. Julie is holding my penis in one hand, and licking the head like a lollipop, slipping me in and AAAAHHH out and AAAHHH now Pat is standing up and unbuttoning her blouse. Her boobs are big and heavy. She squeezes them together, unclasps the bra, and begins stroking her bare nipples as she watches Julie sucking me. Q11. Back to the questions: some people think the sex in your stories is pretty tame. Why don't you have kinkier action? A11. Oh, God, take it deeper, aaaahhh! Well, uhhh, the thing that turns me on the most is aaaaahhhh naked women with oooohhh visible boobs, small waists, and wide hips, and what I aiyyeeeeee like to do with them is come deep in their oh god wet mouths and soft dripping cunts, oooohhhhh. Julie, the incredible sweeeeet little cocksucker is aaahh also turned on by men with muscles and cocks and likes to oh shit, aaahhhhhhh have them come in her pussy and her mouth, like I'm about to. Pat is lying between Julie's legs, licking and sucking at her clit, and she's moaning as she takes the head of my cock deeper and deeper into her throat. Excuse me! There, that's better. Now I can just watch Pat eating Julie for awhile. As I was saying, I'm not really turned on by children or animals or auto exhaust systems. I can't speak for the girls. Julie says that Pat will fuck anything that moves, and they both agree that I'm sexually stunted because men don't turn me on. What can I say? It's my early upbringing. We HAVE done some kinky things, like the lovely bondage games I wrote about in "Julie Bound", and the party in "In the Valley"; and of course I haven't told ALL of the stories yet. Heck, there are some people who'd think that Pat and Julie eating each other on the floor here in a lovely incestuous lesbian 69 was just a little kinky. God, they're beautiful. Q12. Speaking of "In the Valley", I find your depiction of a BDSM scene totally offensive. I've been to many BDSM parties, and they're not like that at all. A12. I will certainly admit I don't know much about BDSM culture. "In the Valley" started out as an innocent little stripping and titfucking story. But it was too short, and I had just surfed through the Black Rose site (http://www.br.org; highly recommended), and was inspired. I don't think there's anything derogatory in the BDSM bit in "In the Valley"; if you're offended by the thought that other people might not do things as you do, my sympathies. If you're just worried that Pat didn't do any scene-negotiation before she pushed the narrator onto the bed and started in with the whip, keep in mind how well she knows him. Keep in mind also that she's a (super)natural empath, which is why she's SUCH a good Top... Q13. Pat and Julie seem unrealistically perfect to me. Don't they have any faults? A13. You realize I'm taking my life in my hands by answering this. Ah, well; since they're both in the middle of coming right now, maybe they won't notice. Pat has been known to snore, but a poke in the ribs generally quiets her down. She also tends to take seriously everything that Camille Paglia writes, which can be a very bad idea. Julie sincerely wants to be a lawyer when she grows up, which is a sure sign of some sort of mental imbalance. And the girls have the usual quota of smug secrets and private jokes that any two female friends, and especially any two sisters, will always have. Other than that, I can't think of anything to complain about; they are two of the most rational, intelligent, kind, and sex-crazed people I've ever met. I consider it a privilege to be their friend, and to have access to their hungry mouths, their lovely breasts, and their sweet moist pussies. And having fathered Pat's children is indescribably nice. Q14. Who are Heather and Carrie? Are they related to Pat and Julie? A14. Ah, interesting story there! In one of the odder moments of Allen fandom, someone (MilkLover@aol.com, a throwaway account) posted a version of "Buckets of Cum", with all "Pat"s changed to "Carrie", and all "Julie"s changed to "Heather", and otherwise unchanged; still the Mark Aster byline, and so on. (In fact, the changes were all too thorough; the amusing word "carriehetic" occurs in the altered story!) Very strange, but somewhat amusing, and I remembered the names with some fondness. So when my spies found a lovely pair of fictional young Toronto ladies named Carrie and Heather who seemed perfect for an upcoming Public Service Announcement about chain letters ("MAKE LOVE SLOWLY"), we signed them up at once. Q15. Are the stories copyrighted? There aren't any copyright notices. A15. Information wants to be free, especially information that was created for fun. You can do what you like with the stories; if you do anything interesting, drop me a note. If you make any money with them, give some of it to your favorite charity, or go out and find yourself a nice clean whore with big tits, and fuck her for me. (Straight women and gay men can substitute the expensive consensual sexual activity of their choice.) Q16. What was that bit in the intro about action figures and collectible trading cards? A16. Great idea, eh? I picture these little figures like Barbie(tm) dolls, only very anatomically correct, with all sorts of perverted erotic accessories. Um, excuse me, but the girls have finished screwing, and are making threatening motions in my direction. See you later; maybe next time the girls will decide to make YOU come...
