Time Out of Time (Chapters 102 - 106) by Crimson Dragon
OK, I haven't read any more of Time Out of Time, since Friday, but here's what I think. I like the story for the most part, but it is starting to go down a familiar road that I don't care to take. In these chapters the main character, who so far is still nameless, has started to treat the women he has enslaved with more kindness. He has let a couple of them wear clothes, kept the punishments in the mild to non-existent range, and in general has been nice to them.
What's wrong with him being nice to them? Well, it's almost the opposite of how he was treating them before. There is no explanation as to why. He just seems to have changed. His thoughts don't reflect any thought as to why. He just seems to be acting differently. There are twenty four chapters left in the story, but I have a feeling that this is going to be the trend from here on out.
The main character's behavior leaves a mushy, sickly sweet taste in my mouth and I don't like it. it reminds me of the ending of Call Girl Cheerleaders. For the first twenty-five chapters, or so, of CGC the order of the day seemed to be hot sex with teenage females. There were some light touches that I would think of as romantic, but they were blended in with the sex. As the story developed the author got away from the overwhelming focus on sex and added some other elements that one doesn't always find in a sex story, such as plot and character development. I think it was a good idea to add these sorts of elements, but I would have preferred if the story hadn't changed so much in the process.
I should probably take into account the fact that both TOoT and CGC are serial stories. Chapters were published as they were written. Presumably, the author does not know where the story is going to end when he starts writing it. Still, there seems to be a pattern here. Start with lots of sex and then eventually cool things down, until they are lukewarm (my opinion) instead of boiling hot (like they were before). Personally, I would prefer to see the story work in the other direction. Start things off lukewarm and end it when things are boiling hot. Of course, some people might disagree that the story cools down as the sex slowly dissipates, but that's my read or interpretation.
Time Out of Time (MF+, bond, control, sci-fi) by Crimson Dragon - When one man discovers the secrets of Time and exerts his new found control over the world, what will become of Christi, Jane, Elizabeth, Amy, and Sheila?
What else have I read?
I started in on How Do you Spell Relief? (Incest) by Bobby T. There are three chapters and I've only read the first two, so I think I'll hold off on commenting on it until I have finished it. The fact that I want to read the third chapter says something about my reaction to the story.

Recent Reads
A Mother-in-Law's Valentine (Anal) by TheScribe
Not quite what I had hoped for. Not a bad story, but I didn't care how the author spent a percentage of the story describing the video of anal sex that Luke and his mother-in-law, Jackie, watch while his wife, Julie, is in the hospital. It isn't so much that he is cheating on his wife as it is the lengthy description of the contents of the video that I object to. Just for the record, Julie has just given birth to their second child. Jackie is helping Luke out with number one while her daughter is recovering from the c-section the doctors had to perform.
Anyhow, anal isn't my favorite variety of story. I read this more for the relationship existing between the two main characters than I did for the sort of sex they end up engaging in. Secretly I was hoping that would turn out to be just part of their illicit entanglement, but it wasn't. That was the whole enchilada. Jackie certainly teases Jack before he decides to throw caution to the wind and accept her advances, but other than that there isn't a whole lot that seems worth the read to me.
Brother & Sister Sexcapades (Incest) by TheSandman
I think I passed on this one a while back. If I remember correctly it was because the main character is neither the brother nor the sister. What a stupid reason. I'm glad I came to my senses, or at least was moved to read it last night.
David gets two roommates when he was only looking for one. Gene moves in, to share the rent but his twin sister, Sheri, soon follows. To say that Sheri is uninhibited would be putting it mildly. Gene's girlfriend, Shelly, has a lot in common with Sheri; more than just a similar sounding name. Before the story is over David is spending Thanksgiving with Gene and Sheri's extended family, including Shelly, their Mom, and their friend Jared.
There is a little bit of male homosexual activity, but not a lot. I thought it worked in the group setting most of the sex takes place in. My only significant problem with the story is the final sex scene where it gets a bit confusing as to who is doing what to whom. All six characters that I mentioned above are in it. At that point in the story you don't want to slow down to try and figre out who is where and what parts they have touching to whom. Unfortunately that is what I found myself having to do, given the number of players and body parts, and the fluidity with which the author moves between them.

Last night, I started to write about an incomplete story that I read over the past couple nights. The final installment should be out soon. The story is And The Children Shall Lead Them (Incest) by Excitedmind. It's far from perfect but it does have a couple things going for it, in my book. There is lots and lots of foreplay and teasing. Other than some gropes and fondling there hasn't been any penetrative sex through the first four chapters (27,400 words). I also appreciate the fact that the story is dialogue heavy. There were also a couple moments when I was surprised by the turns the story took. That doesn't happen too often with genre fiction.
On the down side the story could stand to be edited better. There are a number of typos, including the homophonic variety: there instead of their, we're instead of were, etc. The story also has a rushed feel to it. I say that because there isn't much in the way of pauses in the action. Given its length I think the story could be better paced, although I think this is being written episodically instead of as one single piece, so that might explain the rushed feeling.
So what is it about? Jeff and his sister Karin plot to seduce their parents. That's the gist of the story. As they say, the devil is in the details. As it turns out, their parents are reluctant, for various reasons, but not as reluctant as they try to make it seem they are.

Not much to report tonight. I started reading Lisa�s Tale: A Courtesy Suites Story by DB_Story. I found it at Stories Online, but apparently the author also has a web page. I'll locate the URL at some point, but maybe not tonight. It is science fiction story about Matt, a human, and Lisa, the android he falls for.
I only read the first two chapters. So far it is not stroke material, but it is well written. The story has a couple of realistic seeming characters, even if one of them isn't human. The author gets into a bit of the android psyche. Lisa and her android-friend Darci both seem very human, not enjoying the way they get treated by some men and getting lots of pleasure from the care, consideration, and attention Matt gives them.
Lisa�s Tale: A Courtesy Suites Story (MF ScFi rom cons robot) by DB_Story - In a luxury hotel of the future staffed by beautiful, obedient robots, Matt goes looking for more than the typical guest.
