It's been a while. Well, the urge was gone, and it's not exactly back, but I thought I'd try and review some of the ASSM Gala stories, among other stuff. As always, opinions are my own, but you can have them if you want. Don't know how this'll turn out, but let's just see, shall we? If you want to contact the authors (please do, they deserve it and most of them don't bite at all), remove the 'X' in the email address. ASS - alt.sex.stories ASSM - alt.sex.stories.moderated (now back on-line!) ASSD - alt.sex.stories.d (d for discussion) "Anniversiary" by GenericJoe (MF Rom light bondage) Posted on ASS on October 10, 1999 Joe knows how to write a story, I'll give him that. A good story, no less. The idea here, is that a woman puts cuffs on herself and waits naked for her lover to find her and use her 'anniversary present'. And all he got her was roses. Anyway, it's a tad cliche but it works, especially because the man doesn't just haul off and fuck her, but takes his time and lets her enjoy herself as well. I thought the relationship was shown well, and the characters were fun to read. I good, erotic interlude. "The Cat in the Hood" by Leviticus (bondage) Posted on ASS on November 5, 1999 Leviticus is more propularly known for his "Valley" series, and now a series of stories about a certain female FBI agent. But this poem shows what a truly sick sense of humor he really has. This is a very good take off on "The Cat in the Hat", by you-know-who. If you like bondage (or even if you don't) and you've ever read Seuss (and who hasn't), you'll like this one. Very clever. Gala story: "November: High Beams II" by Mark Aster (sex) Posted on ASSM November 10, 1999 I had mixed feelings after reading this one. It's no doubt well-written, and very evocative, even sexy. But it's not quite a story. It's more a series of vignettes, short scenes from someone's memory about the sex they've had or watched recently. I guess I was not prepared for the style and it threw me a little. I have to say I'm glad I read it, although the author could have come up with a few more story codes, like MF, FF, MM, MMF. Gala story: "Janey's September" by Janey (small, friendly orgy) Posted on ASSM November 10, 1999 I think it must be genetically impossible for me to dislike anything Janey writes. Generally, while reading her stories, I have to remind myself to frown, so that my face muscles don't hurt so much being in a perpetual grin. Her stories always have the ring of truth, even in the oddest situations, and she makes you want to be one of the characters, so that you, too, could be participating in the goings-on. This month, we find Janey back up in Maine, helping out her friend Beth check out a property she recently bought. Along with their husbands comes another couple, Nicole and Ken. Because of some peaches, they all end up having a lot of very entertaining sex, out in the sunshine, no less. Besides making my face hurt from smiling so much, this story also made me hungry and horny. What else could you ask for? "A New Slave" by artie (MF, MC, SM) Posted on ASS on October 22, 1999 This was a pretty good story. I think it could have been a bit better, but it's not bad as it stands now. An arrogant man gets yet another slave. This slave seems to be working out well for him, not like the others that eventually failed to meet his high standards. There are some interesting twists here, but I think some things could have been explained just a bit more. The ending comes just a bit too soon, and it left me slightly confused before I figured out what happened. "Just Testing" by Jimmy Hat (MF oral bond) Posted on ASS on October 2, 1999 This was a nice little story about a wife who understands the necessity making sure your equipment gets tested every once-in-a-while, just to make sure it still works. In this case, the equipment includes a set of handcuffs that had been languishing. I liked the interplay between the characters, and the sex was good too. "The Longest Minute" by Uther Pendragon (MF) Posted on ASS on September 8, 1999 I imagine that most men that care about their partners have gone through this exact scenario. I know I have. Uther writes about what goes through a man's mind when he's trying to last long enough to get his wife off as well. It's not easy, as Uther shows us. A well done quick read which still manages to be sexy. "The Quest for the Holy Grail....NOT!" By Pami (MF) >From the web site: www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/MariaGonzales/www/fantasy/fantasy.html You kind of have to be in on the idea of the Fantasy Train to 'get' this story, but then that's the whole idea of the site. Check it out. Lots of good stories there, including this one. Pami gets extremely well-fucked by a man on a camel, while they are both riding the camel. The train has taken her to King Solomon's time, to find "the Queen of Sheba's Ivory Dildo". I don't think it gives too much away to say she does indeed eventually find it, but not before the previously mentioned sex on a camel. Pami has a great style, which I always like, and her sex scenes are hot, even if they weren't taking place in the desert. As an aside, I've read about two thirds of the stories on the Fantasy Train, and all of them are at least good, and most are great. "Perverts in Plastic" by Elena (MF rom, bondage, dressing up) Posted on ASS on October 8, 1999 A couple's first visit to the exotic boutique stirs up some interesting developments. Elena writes about what happens after the couple return home and have their tea. Very erotic things happen, using plastic wrap, no less. Elena has a straightforward style that suits the story very well. This was a fun little romp in the kitchen. Well, well. I did rather more than I thought I might. As for other suggestions, go look on the newly reopened ASSM. There are tons of stories out there and it's spam free. Also, check out the Fantasy Train. Enjoy! As always, thanks to the authors for writing. David www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/bluewords/www __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
