A Story by Bluefox07

RL has kept me busy these last few days, and between that and the mad rush to finish the edits on the last episode of The Adjusters from Wednesday, I haven't had much time to think about a post for tonight.

So instead of coming up with something half-assed (as opposed to the thoughtful and carefully crafted posts that make up my usual output -- Ah, thanks for noticing!), let me just point you to a story that I ran into a couple of weeks back, and hits on some interesting points in an interesting way.

The story is The Gift, by Bluefox07: "Two guys foolishly abuse a mysterious power."

It's an old idea, really: pick two guys, give them this incredible power for seven days, and see what happens, who does what with what they have been given. It's actually fairly well done, for such a clichéd premise. And it's a strange thing too: there's a lot of sex, there's also a lot of plot, and after a while, you kind of end up reading it for the plot and to see what happens, as opposed to the sex. At least, that's what it did for me. (Funny, that reminds me of some of the best work by Al Steiner, which has that effect on me as well. I should write a post about his work soon.) But then again, some of the sex scenes are delightfully perverse. The stuff with Jesse's mother, there at the end, man -- twisted.

Anyways, have a read, and with some luck, you'll enjoy it. Meanwhile, I'll go nap a bit.
