I guarantee, each story posted gets many thousands of reads (even if you get zero comments). Simon doesn't share the data, but from my experience with comparable sites which do, the ratio is like 10,000:1 reads to comments.

Hard to know if the ratio is higher or about the same here of course (community is totally different), but the one story I've posted to literotica got ~10k views and 2 comments, so yeah.



Vox Dominus (https://mcstories.com/VoxDominus/index.html) (mc mf md) (1 new chapter)  by Mesmerciless
When Seb accidentally enslaves his classmate with his voice, they both get more than they bargained for.

This update is starting to get into the juicy bits that the earlier chapters were setting up. I'm enjoying it a lot, and looking forward to seeing where it's going. From where it's sitting now it's shaping up to be a fairly traditional yellow story about discovering that you've got MC powers, but that's not a bad thing. The perspective shifting back and forth inside the chapter I'm not sold on, but I do understand the struggle of feeling like you need to get into the thoughts of two important characters who are interacting.



The Cube (https://mcstories.com/Cube/index.html) (mc mf md) (new)  by Dede
Curtis sees his teacher after class after she confiscates his Rubik’s Cube.

I'm noticing a teacher/school theme  :grin:

No frills and gets to the point very quickly. I liked the Rubik's Cube as a device with a thematic connection to the scrambling of the mind. Definitely worth a read.

Another strong chapter of Wildwood. I'm starting to see why people love it when the bad guys win! Everything is still up in the air here, so who knows what ending we'll get?  :)

Vox Dominus is definitely growing on me. I really enjoy the creative "overlap"of what our main characters are thinking and hearing. ProTip: Let the phone go to voicemail!

Also in the world of creative MC, Dede's The Cube introduces an interesting method of control with
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Of course, if I were the main protagonist the story would be about as long as Crossing the Rubicon and would have ended with me finishing one side and calling it a day.

Blake’s Magic Ring (https://mcstories.com/BlakesMagicRing/index.html) (mc mf mm md ds) (2 new chapters)  by Daisy Isabella Britt de Melcker
Blake Hamilton inherits a ring that allows him to command the minds of certain people.

A very simple premise: a magic ring that makes most (but not all) people submit. The women who do are very sexy, in that big-breasted submissive way Daisy has. But then character development happens in chapter 3, and rather well. Chapters 4-5 hit my squick button, so I skimmed.

Crossing the Rubicon (https://mcstories.com/CrossingTheRubicon/index.html) (mc mf ff mm fd md) (4 new chapters)  by br0adband
There are moments in a lifetime where, with a single step, a line is crossed, a goal is achieved, a dream becomes a reality. Once that line is crossed, there’s no going back to who or what you might have been before. This is such a journey for one person.

It has become a very long piece, virtually impossible to follow when so much new writing appears every week, especially when I have my own writing to attend to, as well-written as br0adband's stuff always is. Sorry, bb.

Vox Dominus (https://mcstories.com/VoxDominus/index.html) (mc mf md) (1 new chapter)  by Mesmerciless
When Seb accidentally enslaves his classmate with his voice, they both get more than they bargained for.

An intriguing beginning, very well-written. I like it enough that I've started reading the same author's Pact (https://mcstories.com/Pact/index.html), which seems to be on hiatus and is also very well-written.

Glad you enjoyed chapter 3! It wrote itself! Come back for Chapter 6 and 7 which will feature the triplets and SPOILER but what little i will say is there will be more character development and plot. Though technically chapter 4 was plot, too. 4 and 5 are one chapter but i put all the sex (male on male anyway) in chapter 5 so you can read chapter 4 and be caught up with the story.

also hurray i got a review :D

An update at last after a six-month break, thanks Kallie!  I was begining to fear that you had given up on this one but am very glad that you haven't.  Story is still as intriguing as ever with it being no where near its conclusion after nine chapters.

I particularly liked the bit where the victim fights off a frontal assault only for the hero to MC her in stages.  That was hot.

Dead of Night (https://mcstories.com/DeadOfNight/index.html) (mc mf ff md fd) (1 new chapter)  by SoVeryFascinated
An actress responds well to a stage hypnosis show ... and so does someone else.

So this was a longer form one I wanted to get stuck into. I'm now caught up, and I think it's quite good, but I can only recommend it to people who are ok with a very slow burn. This is leaning a lot more heavily into the "Literature" side of Erotic Literature. It's currently sitting around the ~30k mark, it's got at least one (probably multiple) chapters to go and I will probably continue to read in future updates to see where it goes.

Agreed. If nothing else, it would help authors gauge interest in their stories. Without thread comments or email messages, it can be very difficult to tell if anyone is reading at all. Particularly now when the updates are getting bigger.

Thanks for the kind review. This one will finish up this week with an update of about 9K words. I get that it's kind of a slow one; since my kink is basically just the act of hypnosis itself, this story was really doing it for me while I was writing it, but YMMV.

I don't see anything wrong about kink being a factor in rating a story on a website dedicated to kink.

As for trolls...I dunno, are there going to be a lot of people roaming the EMCSA downvoting stories?  What would be the point?

Of course, a hit counter would also be nice.

Arousal Inducing Audio (https://mcstories.com/ArousalInducingAudio/index.html) (mc ff ma) (new)  by Synaptic Virus
Two girls experiment with sexy subliminals. Not realizing the messages are designed to slowly turn them lesbian.

Subliminals and hypnosis can't really change someone's sexuality. However, there's every possibility that the two girls already had unknowingly harbored attraction toward each other, and that thought makes this hotter for me. This was addressed in the story somewhat abstractly, which added a good degree of realism at the end. Definitely built for those that find hypnosis super hot, while I found it more amusing at first. But yeah, I eventually found it pretty hot, too, once it got going. Mutual masturbation can be quite hot! This was a fun read.

I agree with this so much and would have said basically the same thing. It's not necessary, and the simplicity of the EMCSA is what makes it special. We don't need *everything* in society to have a damned "Like" button attached to it.

If you/we get feedback, especially by email, treasure it if it happens 'cause it can be a rare thing. As for stats on how many hits a given story has had, nah, I don't think that would do well for authors either.

Besides, we're not writing for other people, correct? ;)

Subliminals and hypnosis can't really change someone's sexuality.

I agree, but hypnosis and subliminal conditioning can drag things up out of the dark recesses of denial and make it seem as if change has been brought about...

Considering a piece of peer-reviewed research carried out in Canada a few years ago, I'd say that this story has a little more realism than many of you (including the author) suspect!

Arousal Inducing Audio (https://mcstories.com/ArousalInducingAudio/index.html) (mc ff ma) (new)  by Synaptic Virus
Two girls experiment with sexy subliminals. Not realizing the messages are designed to slowly turn them lesbian.

The story was quite enjoyable, I found! I think I would have liked a bit more detail, getting into their thoughts and all, but for a short piece, the action was quite hot. Specifically, it would have been nice for there to be a bit more between the first and second chapters, instead of them just jumping back into listening to the audio. Even just knowing that maybe the subliminals conditioned them to want to listen again and not question things would have been great!

As for the other discussion, I guess I forgot that some people prefer the realistic aspects of hypnosis. Not sure why that surprised me, guess I've just read too many fantasy-type hypno stories. Though to be fair I think I prefer when things are allowed to be unrealistic.

Dead of Night (https://mcstories.com/DeadOfNight/index.html) (mc mf ff md fd) (1 new chapter)  by SoVeryFascinated
An actress responds well to a stage hypnosis show ... and so does someone else.

After Kat and Mouse, I was ecstatic to see another Fascinated story. The writing quality is top notch, which I've come to expect. Probably a bit more suspense/mystery than I prefer, but the damn story is still so intriguing (dare I say fascinating?) that I can't help but want to continue. I'm a bit surprised to hear there's only one more chapter, but if that means I'll finally get some answers, I'm all for it! Can't wait!

Olivia’s Ass Toy, by kmiru0

It’s a well written story, except for the author’s decision to make one of the characters ambiguously gendered.  It’s marked as an FF story, but the submissive character (Robin) has a gender neutral name, and the author only uses plural pronouns when referring to the character (they and their).  It sticks out and is confusing at first. Additionally there are a few instances where the Robin character is called a “good boy” that made me have to go back and check the color codes to see if I was reading a green instead of a pink.

It’s a good story, but this choice by the author prevented me from really enjoying it.  I was taken out of the story too many times.

Subliminals and hypnosis can't really change someone's sexuality.

...I'm not sure that "realism" is a high priority for most authors on this archive.

Indeed, LOL.
I tend to look at hypnosis themes a little too seriously. As Shadra mentioned above, I often prefer things more fantastical as well. :) The story was quite tongue in cheek -- or tongue in something -- so it was definitely just built to be fun.

That doesn’t sound like an ambiguously gendered character so much as a nonbinary one. Still should probably be purple rather than red.

Hey Alan Smithee (https://mcstories.com/Authors/Alan-Smithee.html), in my newest piece (Personal Assistant), a woman teaches another woman how to better manage her man. I didn't realize that it echoes part of your The Witch, The Whip, His Wife, And Her Lover (https://mcstories.com/WitchTheWhipHisWifeAndHerLover/index.html), but sometimes realization dawns indirectly (this time via looking up my old AnimeCon Harem (https://mcstories.com/AnimeConHarem/index.html)-related comments).
