Amy’s not really sure how she got talked into helping her friend out, but she did, and now she’s stuck watching videos of Caroline and her sessions with Professor Collins.

This story is one of my favorites. Both for Caroline who can’t resist her own desire to dance with the devil, and for Amy who is enslaved without even knowing it. Plus, the way Professor Collins uses Caroline’s own rules and her own desires is deliciously devious!

Kaylee wonders why her friend Suma has changed since meeting Caden.

One of softi’s hottest stories. The twist of the would-be rescuer finding herself enthralled is a classic for a reason, but it’s executed so well in this story. Kaylee’s frustration and confusion at Suma’s behavior is very understandable, and opens the door for Caden to use Suma as an accomplice in hypnotizing Kaylee. Even hotter is how Kaylee tries to resist her conditioning at every stage, but ends up succumbing and falling deeper under Caden’s control. I love the detail of Kaylee being conditioned to speak her own trigger phrase! A sizzling hot story.

Sam is positive her sister, missing for several months, was kidnapped and is being held against her will. She is sure her hunt for Abby’s captor is coming to an end, but what will it take to finally free her sister?

I love a good “going undercover into a hypnotist’s den” story and Saving Abby is one of the best! The layers of Sam’s resistance make for great tension and pacing. One of my favorite stories!

Sil goes to rescue her friend Megan from a sinister lesbian hypnotist, and discovers that while physical aggression has its limitations, guile and treachery always pay off.

Mind Control fiction is often about a change to a character. The bigger the change, the more dramatic the story. I love in this one how Sil moves from angry, powerful, and threatening to the opposite extreme: aroused, helpless and submissive. It’s similar to one of my favorite Jukebox stories: “Under Control” (sadly, not on ROM).

Twisting a confrontation into an enslavement is one of those writing magic tricks that Jukebox does so well. Such a hot story

Kimberly confronts her landlord, Derek, about the hypnosis DVD he lent out to her roommate.

This one is a particularly hot example of the “I’m not hypnotized” story. It’s always fun to see the human capability for denial and rationalization on display.

Plus, it’s got the “rescuer” confronting the “villain” and getting captured, which is always very hot. I particularly like how Derek starts off defensive and trying to spin excuses until he learns that Kim has actually watched the video, and then he plays right along with her rationalizations.
