Still feeling somewhat off, so I'll keep this one short. I'm slowly hacking through the revisions to The Adjusters #16. At the end of last week I managed to figure out what was missing and it helps fill out a hole that was glaring at me further out in my draft of #21. So at least that's getting taken care of.
Storiesonline, one of my favorite story sites (which requires registration, but it's free, unless you like reading a lot), has introduced a new feature that links a story to other stories with similar tags, which is a great feature. And last weekend led me to two mind-control stories that I had never read before.
The first is Young Lust, by Lost: "Josh has a crush on his beautiful neighbor, but can a teenager really hope to get a woman like that?" A nicely twisted story, where our hero is given an impossible choice. One of those stories that you wished was longer.
The second is Wandering Minds, by MWTB, who was many other interesting stories posted: "What would you do if you suddenly discovered that you could ride along in people's minds, see what they saw, feel what they felt, experience what they experienced? Two teenagers find out." Two very sympathetic main characters, and some hot sex. MWTB likes his BDSM with a healthy dose of submission, and that shows here. The mind-control aspects are pretty subdued, more along the lines of mind reading that outright control, but they're used judiciously.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteNo idea what the details are (and don't need to know), but I do hope things start looking up for you. Thanks again for all your hard work and writing. It *is* appreciated.
feel better
ReplyDeleteThanks folks -- I appreciate it. Most likely just a combo of seasonal blues and that nasty flu that's making the rounds.
ReplyDeleteJust gotta keep this in mind:
