Chains by sara castle
A terrorist attack sets in motion a chain of events that will touch an ancient prisoner and awaken an entirely new lifeform. For the scientist trapped in the middle, all roads seem to lead inexorably to slavery.
A heated battle, in more ways than one, in another of this author’s futuristic techno-societies, one where the terrorists are the trigger for the mystical to confront the scientific in a seductive struggle of wills and intentions, with the erotic overflow almost becoming too much for the human standing watch. An exciting, truly well-written, back and forth, give and take story, where the outcome is always in doubt, as far more than physical forces are brought to bear in order to defeat the attackers, and each other.
Ink Soaked Penumbra by Madam Kistulot
The ink spreading its way through those closest to Sarah finally introduces itself, and our heroine may already be in over her head.
Once more into the breech with Silver Girl, as she attempts to save Midas City, her family, and her friends from a new takeover plot, this time from the forces and schemes of someone much like herself in so many ways. With all the normal components in this excellent universe of stories: gripping action, steamy lesbian erotica, flights of self-discovery, games within games and wheels within wheels… and the addition of the intriguing metaphor of the method of MC control: writing and ink… this story never disappoints as it races to its erotic and emotional final conflict and resolution.

Chain of Command by HypnoticEye
Women are being hypnotically conditioned to seduce and hypnotize men into worshipping and obeying them… and them helping them spread the word.
A more subtle takeover is in the works here, wonderfully shown right from the very beginning of the story, where a woman is hypnotized into “realizing” her own power over men… over all men. The writing is tight and right and hot, as she first moves in for the kill, and then leaves her victim as just the newest link in the chain of a femdom takeover of the male population, looking for new, beautiful women to teach the “right path”, and new men to show the way to true eroticism and submission. A quick read and an erotic and highly entertaining story.

Melted Music by Frustrated
A woman lets herself be reprogrammed by her Master’s music.
By the author’s own admission, an “out there”, let-it-rip, flight of fancy, as once again the manner of the MC… music… becomes a metaphor for the story and the writing, itself. Steamy and lost and arousing, this story reads like a sexual, masturbatory jazz riff, scatting from feeling to feeling, and from relentless need to action, with the risk of OD’ing on a great thing ever present. The ending is moving, too, as Master, seeing what has happened, what he’s done, tries to come to the rescue before it’s too late. A wild, wonderful ride of a read that will leave you dizzy and breathless.

The greatest story ever told…
The only things bigger, more over-the-top, than the hyperbole in this fun and funny overlapping compilation of stories from some of the best MC writers going, are the… tits. MF, FF, it hardly matters to the protagonists, as they’re at the mercy of the writers here, totally lost in the crashing trains of lust and sexual silliness foist upon them by what were probably the giggling, or evilly laughing, authors. It’s the purple category, so why not purple prose to celebrate it, along with tons of rampant sexual thoughts and activities, a bizarre and “flexible” plotline, FFFF tits, and 36-inch cocks. “The greatest story ever told”… read it if you dare.

Before I Forget by Nexis Pas
A man visits a special web site to help himself relax when he has trouble sleeping.
A story that surprises with its darkness, with its sadness, as a man becomes a sexually driven, and rewarded, pawn in a series of events that he can only see as games. The writing is surprisingly effective, too, as it autobiographically details how a man, who simply wanted to sleep, is slowly drawn into total MM enthrallment; his world, his mind kept simple and pleased to be helping, pleased to be rewarded, as he’s trained to do other’s secret bidding, as he’s MC’d into thinking his life is good, and happy, and erotic. A finely crafted, classic plotline, and a cautionary tale that you’ll remember.
