The
eternal torment of writing on the Internet is that everybody reads your stuff,
whacks their monkey and moves on. I’ll
admit that I’m as guilty as the next guy.
I leave messages at less than 10 percent of all the web pages that I
REALLY like. I’m more likely to
send a note over a relatively simple technical problem that would be easy to
fix (considering my HTML skills that is really bad).
Thank
God for the alt.sex.stories reviewers. These
people take the time not only to read my stuff, but also write a few
thoughtful words about it. It
boosts my ego and gives the other netizens a sense of what I’m writing
about.
before Celeste, there was a guy called Coyote Wyoming or something.I only found out about him during his last few months on the
net. He never reviewed any of my
stuff, yet he provided a great service. He
also predates Deja-News, so most of his reviews, like the stories are probably
lost for the most part.
LadyCyrrh,
I think gave balance to the news groups.
She was always much more kink friendly and treated stories more like
the average reader and less like an English teacher.
I also always thought Celeste’s
tastes were too vanilla. Here
was someone that actively catered to the gay, lesbian and fetish readers.
All
in all the reviewers have been kind to me over time.
I always get panned for grammar and word usage (and the sin of
omission). But I’ve never been
seriously trashed. The one
exception was this rather succinct newbie review in alt.sex.bondage (I did an
author profile in Deja-News):

>get excited and jerk off.
>I've seen the cartoon and I know it's style...you don't even come
>close. Go fantasize about
Captain Planet...he's more your style.
>Nomad
Some
nice schmoe came to my defense. This
was Nomads response:
>bit you in the ass. Now go
watch Captain Planet with your new buddy.
>Nomad
You
know you are a success when people look past all the nipple torture, forced
feminization and fetishism and complain about you!
Needless to say I was honored.
For those of you not familiar with the history of the net, alt.sex.bondage was the first subdivision of the alt.sex domain. So it has a history of being a catch all news group, covering gay, lesbian and broad variety of fetishes.

Pitstop's Picnic of Peril" by S. Sneakly

it to say that the villain
Actually, my ignorance of this story is perhaps excusable.
The original cartoon
appears to be of British, not American origin.
The villain rides a
"lift" and has a "boot" in his car in which he carries his
tools and would like to carry off the oddly named Penelope, who is referred to
as "perky," an adjective normally applied only to the breasts of
American women but to the whole persona of their British counterparts.
This
story is extremely creative. It
follows my rules for a good sexual parody:
it retains the key ideas of the original cartoon series and inserts sex in a
natural way in order to make the story really fun. The main
problem is that the grammar is very bad; but most readers will be willing to excuse this shortcoming. In
addition, the language connoisseur

Batgirl
vs. the Crime School for Girls [A+]
"Batgirl
vs. the Crime School for Girls" is more sarcastic; it opens by saying
Batman and Robin have been emasculated by King Tut to become eunuchs, Batman
escaping in time to reattach his member, but abandoning Robin to be a castrati.
It's hilarious for this reason alone. The rest of the story follows the general
outline of the "Londinium" TV episodes where Batgirl attempts to foil
Lady Penelope Peasop and her coeds of crime, save there's lesbian sex. It was
broader than the other and rounded out the heroine more, and had a sly,
satirical sense of humor I really liked. And it gives the perfect explanation
for why none of the kinky villains ever ripped off Batman's or Batgirl's mask as
they were tied up to see who they really were.
Mr. or Ms. Sneakly (Yes I get this Hanna Barbera pop-cult reference) you're writing very finely tuned humor pieces. Have you thought of publishing professionally?
When the the last installment of the series was posted, Lady Cyrrh was nice to review the final chapters.

This
was the final episode of Sneakly's Batgirl adventure story, and it was well
worth the wait. Bondage, perilous situations, multiorgasmic sex in those
perilous situations, a thoroughly evil and unrepentant wicked lesbian villainess,
and camp galore...what more can you ask for? Chapters 1 through 4 are available
on the author's website, so if you haven't read the previous installments of
this exciting adventure, do so now.

OR
S.
Sneakley has written an excellent series about the adventures of
Batgirl
that I really enjoyed (Batgirl vs. The Crime School for Girls, the
6/11/97
Reviews) but quit writing for a few years. Now he's back with a new Batgirl
series, and this time she's up against The Joker and his stripper-for-hire
girlfriend, Bubbles. (I guess Harley Quinn is in the slammer.)
Based
more on the 60s TV show than the comic, the story was an enjoyable romp with a
sly sense of humor. Batman and Chief O'Hara are boobs, and Robin is a drunk;
only Batgirl has any crime-fighting sense. The story begins when Bubbles the
stripper, whose costume consists of multicolored balloons -- some filled with
knockout gas -- steals some bonds from a bank president. Batgirl tracks her down
to the Joker's hideout at The Lucky Latex Novelty Shop, where various bondage
perils await her. First she's constricted inside a giant purple condom:
She
would have had no time to react even if she had seen what was coming.
The Joker slapped a red and white bulls eye on the floor with his hand.
As soon as he did, a loud POW
echoed through the room. The
purple circle that she was stepping across shot up in the and closed her in a
purple sheath of shiny latex:
_________________________________________________________
"Hoo
hoo, the jokes on you Bat-babe! It s a full body condom! The
safest
sex of all!" He was on
his feet now, jumping and clapping his white
gloved
hands. "This is better
than I had hoped. I was starting to
worry
that you were never going to catch on to such a wonderful ploy!"
Barbara
was rolling around on the floor struggling in the tight confines of the latex
sheath. It had closed neatly around
her neck and was quickly getting tighter. It
had formed a second skin over her body. Her arms were pressed to her side and
she was soon unable to move them more than a few inches to either side.
A warm, slimy coating on the inside of the latex let her body glide
around inside the condom as she wriggled uselessly on the floor.
_______________________________________________________
After
she escapes, there's another peril involving a carnival dunk tank, The Joker's
orgasm-inducing "joy buzzers", and a slide into a pool of soap where
she's alternately suffocated and stimulated.
In some places the story was darker than the author's previous works,
particularly when Batgirl nearly dies in that tank and escapes only by blind
luck -- it was less bondage-sexy and more snuff n' danger, and the
all-in-good-fun tone was absent. However, other parts of the story were very
amusing, such as the Joker's continuous fuck sessions with Bubbles (he wears
boxers adorned with purple hearts) and casual sadism
("Did
you really kill her Jokey?" "As
a matter of fact I did, while we were fucking on a couch just like this.")
If the Joker were ever to have a sex life on-screen, he'd act just like this.
