I was initially drawn to it because of the "Harriet Hotter" series, which,
as anyone who has a half a brain knows, is an obvious spoof of Harry
Potter, but with a difference. Shy teenage Harriet is just as awkward,
geeky, and mistreated as Harry is but she's a sexual firecracker as well,
her unchecked desires -- as well as the machinations of her smug
cousin Chloe -- leading her into various episodes of exhibitionism,
humiliation, and sexual exposure. To make things worse, every time she
comes, havoc occurs: toilets flush, doors slam, and electricity flashes.
Here the naive but frantically masturbating Harriet is the victim of
itching powder in her panties, and scheming cousin Chloe talks her
into exposing herself to make her 'skin condition' better:
"Stop it you little freak! Wait till I tell mom!" Chloe warned.
Harriet snatched her hand off her sex and pulled her skirt back down.
"Please don't tell. Please," she begged.
"Maybe I won't, but first, put your hands behind your back, since you
obviously can't control yourself, pervert." Harriet sat with her hands
behind her back, in utter humiliation the rest of the way home, her
skirt blowing in the wind and her sex visible to anyone who passed
their car. "Please God, don't let anyone see me. Please God, don't let
anyone see me," she whispered over and over again. She knew she
shouldn't be feeling aroused from being displayed this way and
wondered what was wrong with her.
The clueless Harriet bumbles from humiliation to humiliation, never quite catching on. I was hoping she would later get revenge on her awful cousin, but in three chapters, it didn't happen. Oh well, there's at least eight more to go, during which we can assume, if this series follows the first Rowling book, that Harriet eventually gives Chloe her comeuppance and goes off to school. The other stories I read dealt with the same themes. In "Rosa" a wealthy woman who gets turned on by reading online porn about F/F watersports becomes the ambivalent victim of them herself when her Latino maid finds out about her kink; humilating role reversal games follow. In "Blowing Betty" and "The Icing on the Cake" the victims are man who are lured into oral sex by calculating females; they find out later that giving into their desires carries a price... which is being the female's 'bitch,' to use a currently popular gangster term. In all these stories the tension between sexual pleasure and sexual shame is very well handled; these characters *know* they're getting into trouble for their desires, yet this doesn't stop them. Stupid human animals, as Terk the Psychlo would say. "Blowing Betty" in particular gets a lot of mileage out of its femdom plotline... young Betty equates her clit with a cock and becomes the master of her tutor, who is reduced to a cringing femslave with a girly name, and is powerless to resist. I was impressed with all the stories I read, but "Betty" and "Harriet" are the best, doing what they do very well... dishing up hot, plausible, detailed humiliation with the victims as thinking, conflicted human beings and not two-D cookie cutouts. But still victims. The author obviously took a lot of time and care in writing these, and it shows. Highly recommended if you are a fan of this particular kink.
