[Daisy]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ *bouncy cow* I'm published~

[MetaBob]

Many congratulations to Daisy for her second story, Dede for her second story in 10 years, and really nice to see br0adband again!

[br0adband]

Thanks for the nod, and while I forgot to add a "To be continued..." note to "Crossing The Rubicon," it indeed has a long way to go (working on Chapter 15 presently). It's a big one, so, we'll see what happens.

[CerebusOne]

Speaking of Dede, she wrote one of my absolute favorite stories this week......and there was no MC in it yet! Now that is hard to do.

But when you read a setup like she did in The Spa it just means pleasure postponed is pleasure intensified. I LOVE how the author really took good sweet time in letting us get to know Denise. I mean this character comes alive. We know about her background, why she is where she is in life, what she is like, her emotional and financial situation, her personality. It is all there as preamble for what is to come. There is nothing better than getting to know a person before any changes, because it gives real meaning and contrast when the changes start to come. And Dede really showed off all her skills as a writer in doing all this. I really care for this girl, she has a true story to her life.

And man, I can't wait to see where this goes next. That is all a tribute to the writing skill and vision of Dede. GREAT JOB! Thanks for such a terrific and interesting start to a story. I hope this story has many chapters left in it.

Was sad to see One Hot Summer Redux by Anonymous 043 come to an end. I really liked everything about it, the characters, the setting, the swim team and Rachel and her mother and of course the good coach who everyone trusts. And the induction and MC scenes were first rate as well. I know this story was a shout out to an earlier version but Anonymous really ran with it and made it so good. I wish it had gone on longer because I thought this was the best chapter yet with what was coming for Rachel and best friend Sharon. Damn!

The Corruption of Candace Kraft by Scifiscribbler just keeps getting better and more complicated and interesting. Once again a well written, thought out story-line with really good MC in it. The plot is very good with scientist Candace and receptionist Lucy, now Lulu, falling under the sinister sway of a Doctor who is embittered and damaged by life. Once again, the story and MC are first rate here. The chapter today with Lulu's breakup with her boyfriend and then further mental programming now as a poor, compliant guinea pig was hot as hell. The Doctor considers her only good for physical labor. Yikes. That is dismissive. And loved how Candace, springing from her jealousy subtly urges the Doctor to work more drastic, vicious changes to Lulu's mind. Just great stuff. What else will the Doctor do to her now?

I'm a sucker for 'girl takes money for medical experiment stories' and The Perfect Subject by Rhea Corvos did not disappoint in the least. Melanie was milking the system in her clever, lying way but ended up taking money one to many times for it. The writer did a great job letting us to get to know Melanie in a short amount of time before her induction. Always a huge plus in my book with MC stories. Good work. Never thought a woman lusting to have sex for a chair could be so hot. It is.

Can't wait to see the next chapter and what the 24 million dollars is all about. Not sure it will be anything good for Melanie.

Haven't had a chance to read others yet.

The Blowjob Fairy, by The Scrivener's Paradox

I liked this one a lot. The Fairy's personality and general ignorance was very fun. I certainly hope she does get more work - and that we get to see it 


Emily's Last Bus Ride, by Daisy Isabella Britt de Melcker

I read this one on the forums, but decided to do a quick skim now that it's published. Alien-alien stuff is a squick for me, although there is stuff to like here beyond that. I always like They Live type illusions on aliens as a concept (although not necessarily just in the sexual context - I mean it's just a fun idea). I also like that it feels quite raw, like a fantasy that just lept straight out from someone's head onto the page.

[DungeonMaster]

A big chunk of available for everyone, and I sincerely hope those who spend the time on it will enjoy it. It's damn spicy...

There are two more chapters to come, so there's plenty of room to see. But there's also a reason this is set in 2005 - there are a bunch more stories which will keep rolling out (so long as the Patreon keeps giving me a reason to prioritise writing them over other leisure pursuits) in this setting. Candace's corruption won't completely end with this story, and honestly, there are others who will change as a result...

This story was born from comments on Holly's Spa Vacation that, even though Holly is based on a real person who's just all over the place, she seemed inconsistent.

So I wanted not just Emily but what happens to Emily to be fully consistent, and on a neat downward decline.

Wow thank you SO much! I was a bit worried when I decided to only send the first three chapters, because there wasn't any MC yet. You've just validated my decision!
There are nine more chapters left, so I'll try to have 3 more per update.
And yes, she does have a true story to her life - it's mine, after all.
Thanks again!

[Dede]

Many congratulations to Daisy for her second story, Dede for her second story in 10 years, and really nice to see br0adband again!

I've been writing these past ten years, I just have been away from this place. So I have a whole bunch of stories to eventually get posted here!
Thanks to whoever invited me to a Discord server a few weeks ago and brought me back...

A Campaign of the Mind by Dungeon Master

The concept for the plot is good, and the mechanism for the mind control is interesting. When it gets to the characters being controlled it's enjoyable, so I think there's a good story here, but it's held back by several things.

The biggest weakness here is technical. The use of a large number of ellipses where periods would do just fine is a little unusual, word choices are odd in places, and some sentences seem incorrect (although you can generally infer it's meaning from context). I noticed this more in the first two chapter, but that might also be because they were the largest.

Structurally, the pace picks up considerably after the end of Chapter 1, which could be a bit heavy for people to get through. A lot of set up, a lot of character descriptions that aren't really necessary (e.g. giving everybody's height), etc. The character introductions feel a bit like reading a Dramatis Personae mixed in with the start of the story, which is something I'd recommend avoiding.

Some miscellaneous things that stood out, not necessarily critiques:

• The use of "Native 20" instead of "Natural 20" makes me wonder if that's a translation of the term from another language? If not, I've never heard that phrase used so that's interesting either way.
• Damn Tiefling Warlocks, I swear everybody and their mum want to be one of those 
• I laughed when one character was mentioned as being a bad person because they'd stolen things - in the first chapter they were mentioned as having taken a biscuit out of the "DM only" jar, which struck me as a particularly hilarious contrast to the other accusations attached to them - felt a bit like "Murder, Arson, and Jaywalking" 

[DungeonMaster]

First of all, thanks for the excellent feedback, it's so much appreciated...
For the technicalities my excuses follow:
-English isn't my native language
-I use context heavily
-This is still my first story
I felt obligated to make a thorough descrpition phase for some godforsaken reason, so it happened. I also had no clue what the hell I was doing back then, so part of the reason for it being awkward with is me being awkward...
For the native 20, my GM used that as a word when I first played DnD, and it just stuck with me.
The "DM jar" thing started as a bit of a joke, and I kinda forgot to remove it... Oops...
Nonetheless I hope you enjoyed the story so far, maybe even enough for you to want to read on, and again I have to thank you for this good feedback, it's absolutely inaincredible value for me.

Scribbler,

Looking forward very much to more. This is really good story. But you are a terrific writer and this is not the first of your stories I have enjoyed. I hope both remaining chapters are real long, oh about 50 thousand words each would be just about right, lol.

Dede,

The pleasure is all mine. Reading your story really made my day. It is terrific. The fact that you have nine more chapters to go is fantastic news. Please make each as long as you wish.

[Dede]

Well the chapters are all written, I just have to send them to Simon to post. I'll send 3 each time

I wish it had gone on longer because I thought this was the best chapter yet with what was coming for Rachel and best friend Sharon. Damn!

It's where the original story ended, more or less.  It's also a natural end point to the story--we know what's going to happen to Sharon, after all.

[walter_kovacs]

The Spa by Dede

Nice buildup, and we get just the slightest hint of what's happening at the very end. I mean, assuming we didn't already infer what was going on from the fact that this is posted on the Erotic Mind Control Story Archive 

I was surprised by how overtly dickish the rich lady was, but I guess that's to make it all the more satisfying when she gets a comeuppance. Looking forward to reading more.


Yuma Blood Farm by Chrysostomon

The start has a nice ominous mood, and the ending has some heat, but it's over a little too soon for my liking, both in terms of overall plotting and how fast the change occurs. Still worth a read if you have a thing for vampires.

[me-chan]

Dea Ex Machina by Carol J. really hit some great notes with me in terms of a ruling A.I. Vera was not only an excellent program, but also an excellent programmer, helping Travis through the instillation with a very colorful induction. Not sure I'd mind this A.I. plotting world domination, but glad that wasn't really a focal point of this story. Vera turned out to be a great Mistress, and I can only hope actual A.I. will resemble her, if they become hypnotists.

The Girls of S.L.E.E.P. concluded like I was hoping it would. Trisha proved convincingly how she'll be in-charge of it all, expertly taking the successful hypnotists from previous chapters and ensuring their compliance. Fitting end to a great start of a sorority, that and the roommate situation with Rayne was also satisfying.

Nice to see the Pact story continuing; finding myself getting into the lore a little more, and love the introduction of what I'm going to guess will be Truth's adventurous side-kick for the journey. He's got the right personality to bounce off Truth's experience and weariness. I'm hoping that's a partnership that lasts.

Poisonous Sleep by Carol J. was quite the sexy number. Isabelle's expert soft sell to Carlos was really hot, with ideas I never thought I'd by in this story, but I guess I shouldn't underestimate a succubus with a good sales pitch. Feels like Carlos got spoiled for his first time, but first impressions, of course, so it makes sense how it all comes full circle by the end.

S.B.'s Untold Stories with Alice this time is proving to be really entertaining. A nice amount of humor, putting Alice what feels a little like a drug trip (but adult me now wonders if that wasn't a hidden belief about Wonderland). I can't tell which version of a familiar character I liked better, but I'm curious to see who and what after the intermission brings.

[321]

Working my way through another awesome week!

First up is Dungeon Master's A Campaign of the Mind, turn #2. This story reminds me of the time I bought a gigantic, comically-oversized d20 die as a holiday gift. It wasn't so much "magical and life-changing" as it was "huge and prone to falling on the floor," but still... memories. Anyway, our story here expands dramatically, as more characters begin to be drawn into the power of Roland's magical dice. And there's still the question of what the other die in the set actually do! Hopefully our heroes decide to set up a game of Delta Green and break out those d10s.

Paid a visit to The Spa and came away happy, although I suspect that our pretty schoolteacher is going to come away with more than just happy memories! I especially loved the nasty Ms. Devereaux (I may have sat next to her myself once or twice- I'm guessing that we all have!) We just get a glimpse of mind control before this week's installment ends, but I'm excited to see what comes next!

Blizzard continues to be fantastic. I'm a sucker for romantic stories and you won't find many that are this sexy and engaging. I like how Gene has grown over the course of the story, and he has a great scene in this week's chapter. And then! Drama!

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

[softi]

Just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying Blood on Parchment. The language is luscious and leaves me wanting more. I hope it continues.

The Corruption of Candace Kraft  by scifiscribbler

I'll be in my bunk. Which is not a meme I break out for just any old smut; it's gotta be that high quality, highly relevant-to-my-interests shit! At least all the mental stuff was, especially Candace's inner waltz with her programming. Total body sculpting on the other hand, I can take or probably leave. Dunno why that's less believable that rewriting the firmware of someone's brain, but flights are fancy like that. :shrug:

By the by, possible typo here: "...Lulu whimpered slightly just at the idea, although thankfully she didn’t think he..." should have Candace whimpering, considering Lulu is otherwise occupied?
