I wish I had more time to read, as there are so many good looking stories here. Alas, balancing my own writing and everything else ain't the easiest. Of what I did read though:
Amnesia Service (mc ff) (new) by HypnoticHarlequin
Beth is surprised when a girl turns up at her door declaring herself to be from an “Amnesia Service”.
Love this idea, though it's such a tease that we never find out what Beth wanted to forget in the first place! Not sure she planned on how far the "service" has gone, but she sure seems to enjoy it. I think I would sign up for such a service. Or perhaps I already have... Hmmm...
Following Her Dream (mc ff) (1 new chapter) by Shadra
Janet takes the necessary steps towards obtaining her dream girl.
And so Janet rounds out her story in style. She's come a long long way... This wasn't the dream that she followed in the first place, but I think she ended up with something beyond her wildest imaginations. I particularly like how she won't let anything or anyone get in the way of her dream now it's firmly in her grasp. She is now a careful and considerate controller, she knows that making vast changes in someone can lead to choas, so the control is subtle and therefore much more effective. And what a fun epilogue as well, with a few question marks all around. Sequel possible? I'd say definitely, but I'm in no rush, as I want to see what Shadra has in store for us next
Incubus (mc mf ff md) (1 new chapter) by Jennifer Kohl
Christina summons a demon, who has the ability to grant her greatest desire.
Omph! Really hot chapter here. Be careful with those demons... They may be irresistible sex monsters but... well... they're irresistible sex monsters... Very eager to know what happens next.
Paperback (mc mf ff ft) (1 new chapter) by eviltwinmordred
An impressionable teenager finds an old mind-control fetish novel in a used book store.
Now this is developing nicely, a balanced helping of heat, development, and intrigue. So many questions to be answered, and what fun to be had along the way. My one concern is that I worry that it may make people think that us MC enthusiasts are all evil brainwashers waiting to happen. I mean, the blond I hypnotized last week might have agreed with that if I hadn't programmed such objections out of her, but still!
Waspish (mc mf fd) (new) by Chrysostomon
A truck driver gets extra attention from the staff when he stays at a Greek motel.
Brought to my attention by Shadra... This one was an interesting enough idea, though poorly executed for me. The initial scene setting was actually pretty good, but everything felt so rushed and flavorless after that. There were so many instances where we could slow down and savor the moments, the character's reactions to the increasingly bizarre circumstance thrust upon him. I imagine the ending is pretty squick for some, be warned, but the content wasn't a problem for me, but it was described in such a dull manner. I'd just like to see this much more fleshed out. The foundation is there for a really good story, but for me it would need some expansion.
That's all I managed, but there are others that I wish I had time for. I'm especially eyeing you up,
Thursby Manor and
Laser Tag Party....
An extra mention for
In the Beginning and
Uplink, I have started reading both, and am interested enough to read more - not hitting my buttons fully yet but the writing of each is solid and I feel the bits that will resonate with me most may yet be to come.
And extra extra mention for Writer345 of
Yew and Me: this looked like a story I would enjoy. Alas, upon reading your introduction, I wanted to go and read
Yew first, as I wanted to be more familiar with the world I was visiting. That was great, and I finally started on your story today so am only a tiny bit in, and am intrigued so far. Will see if I can get caught up for the next installment coming out!
