When Samantha, a lonely, unsatisfied housewife and her daughter’s best friend Mary are brought together by an innocent school assignment will they fulfill each other’s desires or will their hypnotic escapades make their lives come crashing down?

This story is exceptional! It’s mostly anticipation, though. I recognize and humbly salute talent in an area where I’m not so great, but I’m finding myself wishing for the “follow-through”. I’ve read other stories like this. Ones where I thought, “It would be even better if…” However, I’ve also seen stories that have the opposite challenge: all “main event” with zero backstory. I suspect that’s the category I would often fall in. Is this a common challenge in writing erotica? It makes me wonder if there are author pairs out there, where each takes advantage of the other’s strengths. ;) Overall, I highly recommend this story.

There are all sorts of things people say about twins, and what they do and don’t share.

This was hot to read… and not just because of the “forbidden” nature of the main story. Honestly, it’s a fun read even for people who have never “shipped” a sibling (raises hand). There’s just something “extra” about thinking and reading about “forbidden” things. The two main characters have such a strong connection. MUST READ!!

The sequel to “Go Down Gamblin’.” After the situation with Ashton, Maeve gets a letter, and everything sort of goes downhill from there – with Castian at the center of her “bad luck.” PLEASE read extended CWs.

Another cool story by sleepingirl. She has openly admitted that this series is a particular pleasure to write. She describes especially well the unique combination of humiliation and powerful pleasure that Maeve feels when Castian takes control of her. …and don’t have any illusion: Castian is taking it, but it’s clear that a huge part of his pleasure is that Maeve wants him to take it (and a huge part of her pleasure is that she wants him to take it).

A mage, a fighter, and a ranger hunt a mind control demon, only to realize they might be a little under-leveled for this quest.

This one was incredible to read. I found myself wishing that I was there in person to watch her pleasure.

A virus has caused widespread sterility. Governments are scrambling to bolster the aging population. Unusual and unethical methods have been employed to guarantee success. How will two young people navigate a relationship in this confusing landscape?

For any “D-type” that finds #noncon really hot, yet can’t get past the “I really don’t want to make them do something they don’t want to do” thing, well @Beard_of_knowledge has found a way around that. I’ll call this “consensual after the fact”, and it’s so hot!

I’m editing this on 27 February 2024. I’ve just read the “A little light interrogation” chapter today. I moved my notes on that chapter to a comment: https://readonlymind.com/@Beard_of_knowledge/TheProgramCh01/2/

A roguish elven girl meets a man at a tavern who teaches her more than she ever could have known about the thrill of a wager, the thirst for knowledge, and the capabilities of manipulation and mind control. Now published as an illustrated book with extras! Plus an ongoing sequel.

I’m only half-done reading the story so far, but the “slow burn” on this one is definitely worth it. :) The most surprising thing to me (as an inexperienced D-type) is just how pleasing the frustration is for Maeve. This section was just chef’s kiss:

“How does that make you feel?”
“Aroused,” she breathed. “Agonized.”
“You want me to fuck you now, don’t you?”
With nothing in her mind, she responded: “Yes.”

A self insert fanfiction prequel set in the world of Skaetlett’s ‘How To Pay Your College Loans’. A young transwoman whose life is falling apart accepts a job as a live-in maid at a lesbian D/s mansion. Being edited by Lunar Circuit! Thanks so so much to them!

I had a lot of good feelings as I was reading this. If you’re looking for a quick resolution (of any variety), this isn’t the thing to read. I really don’t think it was meant for that, though. If you want to become personally connected with the characters, then spend the time to read this one. If you or anyone you know is struggling with “transitioning”, it addresses that… with a very positive outcome. It also does a good job of looking at how a group of people can use “older models” in a very flexible way. It did an especially good job of making connections between different points in the characters’ lives.
