School is almost out and it's time for some R'n'R. <g> Since this will be the last one for a bit, I'm spotlighting more than my usual five stories. Also, I was toying with the idea of a rating system, and I think I've found something I like. Since I'm only spotlighting stories that have appealed to me in one way or another, you won't find me giving any story a sucky rating. What will I base this vaulted rating on? Well, spelling, grammar and punctuation for one. How well-written the sex is. And lastly, I guess just how much I enjoyed it and found it entertaining and thought-provoking. Highest "O" is a 5. You won't see any stories in here getting a 0 - I wouldn't be spotlighting/reviewing them if I thought they were crap. My goal is not to degrade anyone, stroke anyone's ego, or set myself up to be flamed. If anyone doesn't like the idea of a "ratings" system, I would ask them to take it up with me in private please. Now, on to the stories . . . ===== "Bio-Mates" series by Stasya T. Canine <stasya@REMOVEstoriesonline.net> <http://wwww.storiesonline.net/Stasya_T_Canine/> What is the Bio-Mates series? lol Where to begin. Stasya says it best in the story "Biolab 13 - Introduction": It started in a classroom. A student needing a subject for her doctoral project. "Bioengineering Animals - Extrapolating the future" By: Liaya Stevens. "This student plans to look at what has happened in this field, the current state of knowledge and project that rate of growth into the future to show that some projects now considered impossible or on the fringes the of the science will be not only be possible but become routine in the near future. "One such project is the possibility of modifying some species with human genes to produce a viable and self- sustaining sub species capable of human speech. Such animals would, this student feels, give us an insight into some aspects of animal-human interactions and animal interactions with the environment that could lead to a better understanding of the impact of proposed changes to ecosystems as well as bring a deeper understanding to more typical animal-human interactions." Man and animals, hyper-intelligent animals, working together in a partnership. The stories tell a story together, but could also stand on their own quite nicely. Yes, they are considered zoosexuality fiction, but for me, that doesn't lessen the story in any way. Stasya handles the intimacy nicely, and if taken out, the stories would still be well worth reading. If you're looking for a series to get caught up in, I highly recommend this one. Oh factor - 4 1/2 (mainly because I'm waiting, impatiently, for Stasya to post another chapter) ===== "Outrage" by Oosh <oosh@REMOVEnerve.com> <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/oosh/www/outrage.html> This is an erotic poem with religious overtones. Anyone who is a super devout Christian probably won't like it. Of course, anyone like that probably won't be frequenting ASSM, so no problem there. <g> The poem puts images in your mind that are not quickly dismissed. If there are any aspiring poets out there, read and learn. Oh factor - 5 ===== "First Impressions" (ScFi no sex) by Gary <PJcocoa@REMOVEaol.com> <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2001/30145> New to the ASS* writing community, Gary recently moved from reader to writer. And it looks like I'm going to be glad that he did. If the rest of his stories are as entertaining as this one, we're going to be the lucky ones. What's the story about? Well, any Pern readers out there? Yep, fire lizards. Twins. What's a single dad to do? Especially thinking ahead to the time when they're ready to mate. You fill in the blanks. Even though I've never read any of the Pern novels, I'd heard enough about them from my brothers to understand Gary's story. It's not a necessity that you be familiar with them before you read his story, but it couldn't hurt. Oh factor - 4 (for some misspelled words and punctuation errors) ===== "The Forest Lord" (MF, Rom, magic, oral) by WhiteRose <LadyFaerieFire@REMOVEaol.com> <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/whiterose/www/forestlord.htm> I wasn't going to include this story, except for the fact that the author had the <*> symbol when she posted the story. Since Celeste isn't around anymore, I decided to give it a read. I'm glad I did. White Rose gives us a truly magical setting right from the beginning. I felt like I'd been transported inside a fairy tale. Take a peek: The world took a breath. She felt his presence a moment before she heard the footsteps coming from the trees. She forced herself to wait, to remain where she was, eyes closed, as he approached. The need to see, to know, what he would be this night, what face and body he would wear, it was strong, so strong. But she held herself in check, pausing a moment longer, and only then allowing her lids to slowly drift open to cast her gaze upon him as he knelt at the ledge of the pond in front of her, gazing upon her with the same curious knowing she knew was reflected in her own gaze. Sure as heck makes me want to know what he looks like! <g> The story just keeps getting better, and the sex is well- written and spark-filled - very hot and erotic. Oh factor - 5 ===== "Nevermore" (M?F myth F-solo?) by Alexis S. <alexisinalaska@REMOVEaol.com> <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/Alexis_S/Nevermore.txt> Alexis is another relatively new author to the ASS* community. I was pointed to her stories by Shon, and thanked him profusely. <g> I would consider this story to be folklore. Do you remember reading as a child the stories that went like, "How the Elephant Got His Trunk"? Keep that in mind. This story deals with the raven. I say anything more and I risk giving the story away. This is a tale told with just the right blend of mystery and eroticism. Once Alexis finds her niche, watch out! For those looking to shiver and tremble (and I don't just mean from the sex scenes!), this is a must read. Oh factor - 4 1/2 (because I think Alexis could have extended the sex scenes) ===== "Penis Envoy" (FF, MF, FD, MC, SF, Humor) by Sara H. <cats_sara@REMOVEyahoo.com> <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/Sara_H/www/penisenvoy1.htm> Parody. This was the first thing that sprung to mind when I started reading Sara's story. Only it's more than that. It's damn hilarious. We have a spaceship, so there's definitely the science fiction element. We have crew names like Captain Ereck Vasdeferens, and his morale officer (and snuggle buddy) Tess Dosterohn. lol And wait till you meet the rest of his crew. Their mission? A scrapship (the Cuckold) is having air problems. It's Vasdeferens and his crew to the rescue! Read it and laugh. And where's the sex you ask? Well: Once they approached the orgy in progress, the intrepid rescue party found that they couldn't break the sexual unions apart. The best they got was the strokes of fingers and tongues and genitals from the obsessed crew as they were pushed en masse down the passageway to the docking station and onto the shuttle. And there's more, trust me. Oh factor - 4 (a couple of misspelled words and capitalization) ===== "I Married a Sex Slave" (MF, BDSM, cons) by sfmaster <sfmaster@REMOVEworldnet.att.net> <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2001/30193> He's back! sfmaster has rejoined the world of the writing, and I think this story proves he hasn't lost anything in his absence. Connie and Sam have been married for two years when Connie confesses to Sam. Oh, confesses what? Psssst . . . look at the title of the story. That should clue you in. Connie confesses all to her husband. It would have been easy for sfmaster to have made the husband immediately gung- ho about the idea, take on the role of Master and the couple live happily ever after. Thankfully, sfmaster handles the situation differently. Sam's reaction is believable, the events that subsequently unfold completely realistic (at least to me they were). I'd like to see a follow up to this story - perhaps the couple a few years down the line. O factor - 4 (for a couple of punctuation errors) ===== "Infidelity Part 1: Ache" "Indidelity Part 2: Redemption" (MF, rom, slow/deliberate, oral) by H. Jekyll <h_jekyll2000@REMOVEyahoo.com> <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/h_jekyll/> Oh geeze, where to begin. I read this story and immediately wanted to give up writing. This story is *that* good. Makes me think that nothing I ever write could ever come close to being on the same level with this story. It's about many things - a woman's imperfections, trying to exist in a passionless marriage, dealing with fantasies. Yet it's much more: The next thing isn't a single thing. It is two, more than two, some number, something kaleidoscopic. There is no order that she can recall later. She smells him again, with her cheek feels a muscle move in his chest, feels herself pull him closer, for the first time feels his penis as a hard shape against her belly. She holds her breath again, memorizes the outline of his cock on her body. She can feel herself growing wetter, hotter. The feel of wetness seeping is obvious now, so beautiful a sensation, so perfect a mark of longing if he would touch her there. He kisses her hair again and inhales her. She can feel his breath. His penis. His face. A hand at her chin, lifting her face. He is erect against her. They begin a kiss. The story is about infidelity - the threat of it, the temptation of it, the reality of it. I guess my complaint would be that if I coded the story, I would have added "cheat." <shrug> I guess that with the title you probably don't need it. O factor - 5 ===== "One Night at the Stay-N-Save" (X-Files, MF) by Leyla Harrison <http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/1377/staysave.txt> I was introduced to the stories of Leyla Harrison via another newsgroup that I frequent. She wrote X-Files stories, and she wrote them well. I list no e-mail address because Ms. Harrison has passed away. I only wish I had found her stories while she was alive so that I could have let her know how much I enjoyed them. This story is smut with a captial "S." And it's very detailed, very good sex. Basically, Scully keeps having strange dreams about what she thinks are Mulder's hands doing very interesting things to her. She discovers that the reality is better than the dream while they're at a roadside motel. Hell, I liked both! Dream, or reality: She was aware of taking in a sharp gasp of breath as the fingers smoothed over the undersides of her breasts. Oh, God, the sensation of being touched like this was almost unbearable. The hands moved up, fingers tracing circles around her nipples but not quite touching them. Scully knew that she was being driven crazy. Very, very slowly. She opened her eyes, wanting to see the face attached to the body with these amazing hands. And then it was gone. If you're looking for a story with a more well-defined plot that's just as excellently written as this one, check out "34 Hours," also on her website. It held me from the first paragraph and didn't let go until the final word. That good. ===== I guess I should do a special Mother's Day edition, huh? I'll think about it, but I'm studying for finals, so I'm a bit more than busy. - Souvie -- Pursuant to the Berne Convention, this work is copyright with all rights reserved by its author unless explicitly indicated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | alt.sex.stories.moderated ----- send stories to: <ckought69@hotmail.com> | | FAQ: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/faq.html> Moderator: <story-ckought69@hotmail.com> | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Archive: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org> Hosted by Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository | |<http://www.asstr-mirror.org>, an entity supported entirely by donations. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
