* "Supergirl and X" by MD James (superhero rape & sex) 9, 9, 9
* "Supergirl and X" by M D James (d2beast@aol.com). At the beginning of the story we learn that Supergirl has been infatuated with Lex Luthor. Can this be true? Isn't Lex Luthor an evil person? Holy Ambivalence.... Ooops! That's the wrong superhero. In the present episode Supergirl pursues Luthor, but he tortures her with his Orgasmatron. Then Lex Luthor fucks Supergirl - well, not really Lex Luthor - actually X Luthor, one of those X-Men, of comic book fame, who has taken on the appearance of Lex. In some weird sense, Supergirl is even X's mother. I have to admit that I am not up to date on my comic book literature. This story was full of allusions to people I knew not of. I felt like I was in a comic book version of one of T.S. Eliot's poems.

An indefinite pronoun is one that does not refer to a SPECIFIC person or thing. The most common indefinite pronouns are ALL, ANY, ANYBODY, ANYONE, ANYTHING, EACH, EITHER, EVERYBODY, EVERYONE, EVERYTHING, NEITHER, NOBODY, NONE, NO ONE, SOME, SOMEBODY, SOMEONE, and SOMETHING. The reason these are worth worrying about is that it makes a difference whether the indefinite pronoun is singular or plural, since this will influence verb and pronoun agreement. Anyone with a live cock IS welcome to join me in the bedroom. All the men with live cocks ARE welcome to join me in the bedroom. The good news is that it's usually possible to get these right, simply because the right usage "sounds" correct. The even better news is that even if you get these wrong, nobody except an English teacher is likely to notice or care. In other words, if in real life a man says to a woman, "None of us are man enough to make you happy," you'll have a grammar mistake; but she'd be much more likely to have noticed the problem had you said, "We ain't got very big cocks." It's still a good idea to write as perfectly as possible, and so I'll now try to summarize the rules. In general, most of these indefinite pronouns are singular. That is, they refer to a single person or thing. SOMEBODY is going to get her brains fucked out tonight. NOBODY is going to get her brains fucked out tonight. ANYONE who sucks my cock is going to get her brains fucked out tonight. NEITHER of you is going to get her brains fucked out tonight. The main exceptions are ALL, ANY, SOME, and NONE. These words are sometimes singular and sometimes plural, depending on the context in which they are used. Each of these words is singular when it refers to a continuous quantity of something. (This usage sounds complicated, but it's easy, as the following examples show.) None of the cum WAS left in my hair after I showered. According to our prenuptial agreement, none of the money that I earned by selling my body BELONGS to you. Some of the cum WAS still left in my hair after I showered. According to our prenuptial agreement, any of the money that I earned by selling my body BELONGS to you. According to our prenuptial agreement, all of the money that I earned by selling my body BELONGS to you. Except in the case cited above, ALL and SOME are always plural. Some of you guys ARE going to have to wait till after lunch to lick my pussy. All the guys I have ever made love to ARE cumming at the reunion. That leaves the two hard ones: NONE and ANY. The correct usage of NONE is a bit complicated; but if you think it over carefully, you can usually get it right. NONE usually means "no single one" or "not even one." When the word is used in this sense, it takes singular verbs and pronouns. None of the men HAS offered to let his wife join the orgy. None of you IS man enough to make me really happy. NONE is also singular when it means "no amount of" or "no part of," when the speaker is referring to a continuous quantity of something. This usage was described above. Use a plural verb and pronouns wit NONE only if the sense is "not any" when several are expected - that is, when NONE means "no number of persons or things." None of the slaves agree on the best way to lick their queen's pussy. This can be very useful information. If each of the following speakers is using grammar correctly, the listener would in one case be discussing an orgy (or at least several successive partners) and in the other a tryst with a single individual. None of you is going to sleep with me tonight. (single individual) None of you are going to sleep with me tonight. (potential orgy) To put it another way: None of you IS man enough to make me really happy. (single individual) None of you ARE men enough to make me really happy. . (potential orgy) The best way to ascertain which should be used, is to examine the logic of the original (or contrary) expectation. This sounds complicated, but in practice, it's not: None of you IS going to sleep with me tonight. ("You think ONE of you is going to sleep with me. That's not true.") None of you ARE going to sleep with me tonight. ("You think SOME of you are going to sleep with me. That's not true.") The use of ANY is exactly parallel to that of NONE. The verb and pronoun agreement with ANY is often easier to ascertain, because the logic is more apparent. If ANY refers to ONE unspecified person, it's singular; otherwise, it's plural. If any of you IS the one who slept with me last night, you can return my panties when you are finished sniffing them. Any of you IS man enough to make me really happy. Any of you who have a live cock are going to have a chance to sleep with me before the end of summer camp. If any of you IS going to sleep with me tonight, he should brush his teeth after supper. (You think it's likely or reasonable that only one person will do so.) If any of you ARE going to sleep with me tonight, they should brush their teeth after supper. (You are expecting an orgy or at least a major menage.) Note that some of these same words can be used as adjectives, but then the agreement problem is simplified, because the word that the adjective modifies will be either singular or plural. Any men who WANT to do the horizontal lambada with me should line up outside my room. Each man who WANTS to do the horizontal lambada with me should line up outside my room. Every man who WANTS to do the horizontal lambada with me should line up outside my room. In even the most difficult case, all you have to do is (1) be logical and (2) reword to avoid complexity. For example, NOBODY is singular. The dictionary says so. Take this example: Nobody except English teachers IS ever going to care about my grammar during foreplay. Technically, the subject is singular, and the singular verb is correct. We can see this if we omit the prepositional phrase: Nobody IS ever going to care about my grammar during foreplay. However, the original sentence simply SOUNDS wrong; and it sounds even more wrong to me if I put it in the past tense: Nobody except English teachers WAS ever going to care about my grammar during foreplay. The problem here is logical. If the prepositional phrase is citing plural exceptions, then the subject must also be plural. But NOBODY is singular. The dictionary says so. The way to solve the problem is to make the exception singular: Nobody except an English teacher IS ever going to care about my grammar during foreplay. BOTH and EACH. BOTH is plural. EACH is singular. The distinction between these words is worth noting. Misuse can get you in trouble, even with people who are not English teachers. Both of us ARE eager to get into her pants. Each of us IS eager to get into her pants. EACH is so singular that it can make a compound subject have a singular verb and pronoun references. Each infielder and outfielder IS going to get HIS shot at the coach's wife if they win the championship. EVERY works the same way. Every infielder and outfielder IS going to get HIS shot at the coach's wife if they win the championship. Oddly enough, if EACH is moved to a location after the compound subject, the verb and pronoun references become plural. {Note that the exact meaning of the sentence also changes.} Who said English isn't a bizarre and wonderful language? The infielder and outfielder each ARE going to get their shot at the coach's wife if they win the championship. EACH OTHER and ONE ANOTHER. EACH OTHER refers to reciprocal activity between two persons; ONE ANOTHER to reciprocal activity among three or more persons. We made love to EACH OTHER last night. ( A couple) We made love to ONE ANOTHER last night. (Orgy or menage) |
