Writing Journal: As I mentioned in a comment earlier this week, I'm still writing. It's just a little bit all over the place. Don't give up on me just yet :) On the plus side, I've taken advantage of the fact that I can't string sentences together to make sure I know the rest of The Adjusters's storyline. Looks like Book XI will be the last one. And the next book will be called The House of the Rising Sun. I'm actually looking forward to it! Now I just need to finish the last 4000 words of Book VI...
Lush Stories is a site that I visit infrequently, mainly because it's difficult for me to find the stories I enjoy within. But once in a while, I take a deep dive, and come up with enjoyable tales. Here's the result of my latest foray. Mostly wife-sharing related, but not exclusively. Also, multi-part stories, because that's always what I prefer.
The Chain Link, by PervyStoryteller: “A mysterious figurine and the lure of experiencing his deepest sexual desires". Interesting idea, a sort of fantasy-enabling chain letter.
Dirty Little Secrets, by PervyStoryteller: “A wife shares her dirty little secret.” The description doesn't say much, but it's a wife that puts on sexy shows on webcam for her husband while he's traveling, and discovers that she has a voyeur perving on her. And she doesn't dislike it.
Erika the Sex Slave by HotStuffPriya: “18 year old college student Erika becomes a sex slave.” What it says on the tin. No deep psychological characterization in this one: it's sex, sex, sex.
Wife Discovers Erotic Photography by TuWatchu: “Wife agrees to pose for boudoir photographs.” Your typical wife-gets-her-eyes-opened-and-her-sexual-horizons-expanded-while-the-hubby-enjoys story. Fun sex scenes.
His Wife, My Toy by PervyStoryteller: “Your wife’s my plaything now, and I don’t let anybody else touch my toys unless I say so.” Not as rough and extreme as I like stories with that setup (and title!) to be, but still pleasurable when you're in the right mood.

Still alive
But clearly I haven't solved my scheduling problems...
New ETA: October 1st. The Powers That Be willing.
In the meantime, I've got two old stories that caught my attention this week. A bit on the rough side, though:
Like Mother, Like Daughter, by Dom Master: “Carla’s heart raced at the realization that her little baby girl was about to be forced to suck off this brutal man. In her mind’s eye, she could see her young mouth stretch open to accommodate the foul intruder. She had performed oral sex herself a couple of times, but did not care for it; there was always a musky smell that just seemed too perverted. And now her little girl was experiencing that aroma first hand.”
Private School, by Anne: “A young teacher finds herself under a student's direction and is drawn deeper and deeper into submission and humiliation.”

Update on The Adjusters #62
I'm on the road until after Labor Day, meaning I probably won't be able to post The Adjusters #62 until then.
To keep you distracted, enjoy the following stories.
From the EMCSA, Pan's My Car, My Rules: “A man plays a subliminal tape for his carpooler.”
Remaining in the mind-control genre, but mixed with fantasy (not usually my cup of tea), ImperatorMentus's The Goblin King: “After her order is enslaved, a knight seeks revenge.”
A new chapter of Wilcox010's Summer's Blackmail came out this summer: “Slut teacher gets tattoos and piercings.”
Blackmail and cuckolding in Facade123's Tantalus: “A gambler loses control of his life to another man.”
Finally, if you like your smut really hard and nasty, check out an oldie, Dom Master's Like Mother, Like Daughter at BDSM Library: “Carla’s heart raced at the realization that her little baby girl was about to be forced to suck off this brutal man. In her mind’s eye, she could see her young mouth stretch open to accommodate the foul intruder. She had performed oral sex herself a couple of times, but did not care for it; there was always a musky smell that just seemed too perverted. And now her little girl was experiencing that aroma first hand.”

Mister Gabe
Writing Journal: The Adjusters #61 progressing well. Mostly resisting the urge to just toss everything into the first installment of Book VI. Patience, little grasshopper.
Haven't been reading a whole lot of smut lately—it's summer, and it's nice and warm outside. Plus nothing seems to really be grabbing my attention. Which is a bit sad.
Though I notice that Dainii has been revising and reuploading his (unwarranted assumption) story Mister Gabe on Literotica. It was first posted a few years back, and left incomplete. The author suggests that he wrote himself into a bit of a narrative cul-de-sac. This revision is meant to fix the problem. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, it's a crazy story about a guy who gets bamboozled into giving up his wife to a super-dominant man, only to develop a pretty dominant streak of his own. Warning: some incest. (Okay, fine: lots of incest.)

Dominated Wives
Writing Journal: Nearly done with The Adjusters #58. The second scene's turning out to be quite important.
Two stories that fit in the theme from last time, but with a kinkier submissive feel to it.
From Wife to Slut Slave by Puremaster: “A sweet housewife becomes another man's personal slut slave.” Some cool ideas and straight up nasty stuff, written in a somewhat juvenile fashion. (Present tense is hard to pull off under the best conditions.) Still, if this is your cup of tea, you'll enjoy this.
Michael and Jessica's Sexual Slaver by A_random_user: “A white couple slowly falls under the control of a black man.” A nice slow build, and it seems to be leading in a dark and dirty direction. Slow updates, though, sadly.

Introspection
Writing Journal: Writing away on The Adjusters #52. Nothing particularly interesting to report. Except perhaps that I had a tidbit of insight for Book VI that has me reconsider one of my subplots.
Throughout May and June, I'm asking for your input about the sort of kinks you might want to see in The Adjusters.
Still somewhat reeling from last week's events in Isla Vista, California. It's nothing new, sadly, but the document that the killer left reads like bad fiction, and is altogether depressing. The one (only?) bright spot to come out of those events is the #YesAllWomen movement that with some luck opened a few people's eyes. Though I had to avoid like the plague most comment threads on the topic, because man! you can really see the filthy crud rising up to the surface.
Every time something like that happens, it forces me to think about my own role in the grand scheme of things. I mean, I spin tales involving misogynistic characters whose contempt for consent and agency is extreme. I know, I know—it's all fantasy, it's all fiction, but fantasy and fiction do not occur in a vacuum, they are embedded in a sociological context, and worse, those stories actually are part of the sociological context and help form it.
It's something I struggle with once in a while. Not the part about having dark fantasies—I've read enough psychology to not be particularly worried about that. But sharing them, in the way that I do, it has an impact. And I just don't know what that impact is.
I don't have answers. Just more questions. So I'll just keep reflecting about this.
In the meantime, let me close with two stories, one for whichever mood you happen to find yourself in on this rainy Friday night.
The first is a happy story where all is essentially rosy and loving and sexy, Beauty and the Geek by Frozenhero1: “The rumors were true; the geek was hung.”
The second is a dark depressing story where everyone is a bastard and the sex is... well... special, A Study in Scarlett, by AMoveableBeast: “A man follows the sway of a stripper's hips into depravity.”

Request for Comments
Writing Journal: On a small writing pause. I've spent the last few days putting into some semblance of order the nearly 6000 words of notes I have on The Adjusters trying to extract out the bits that will make up Book V. A thankless job, but one I have to go through before forging ahead. Speaking of notes, I did not forget my promise to show you all the notes I made for Book IV several months back. Expect those in the next few weeks.
Speaking of forging ahead, between going through my notes and digesting the comments on the last installment of The Adjusters, it might be a good time to ask my audience—huh, that's you, folks—whether there's anything specific you'd like to see in an upcoming story line.
Now, don't get me wrong: as I said many times before, the broad strokes of the story are set. I know what happens to the various characters, and the beat they go through. But that doesn't mean that there isn't any flexibility in terms of, say, the various indignities that might befall our heroes and heroines.
So let me make this an open thread: if there's anything specific you'd like to see on The Adjusters, any theme you'd like me to hit, any characters you'd like to see put through whatever sexual wringer your twisted mind can conjure up, please let leave a comment below. Do you want to see Calypso or Jenn or Cindy fall prey to a Special? Do you want to see Shawbank taken? Do you want to see more Specials? Fewer Specials?
I can't promise I'll do any of it, of course, but as long as the ideas are not incompatible with the actual story line, there shouldn't be any reason why I can't take requests.
I'll leave you with a nicely twisted story, The Transformation of Betty, by Dom_u_softly: “From sweet housewife to a shared slut in a night.” It's like a wife sharing story, but really it isn't. It's a husband that decided to train his wife as a submissive with the help of a neighbor. If you like your domination with a hint of humiliation where everyone has fun, this is for you.

Merry Christmas / Admitting Defeat
Well, it is Christmas Eve here at Casa Bulgroz, and I am officially giving up on getting The Adjusters #47 out in December. For the first time in four years, I am missing a monthly installment. Which sucks, and makes me feel miserable. Installment #47 will come out as the January installment. I'm incredibly sorry about that. Not only because I feel I've let you all down, but mostly because I've let myself down.
But in the spirit of the Holidays, I shall try to forgive myself, and forge ahead with happy thoughts and a renewed hope that I can get my writing process back on track.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and if not, well, have a Happy Last Wednesday in December!
Here are two stories to keep you entertained during the Holidays.
First, Digital Spy, by Davet1: “Surveillance expert meets horny divorcee.” The guy is a ethically-challenged bastard, and he meets an insatiable nymphomaniac. What could possibly go wrong? Actually nothing—it goes amazingly right. A fun not-so-consentual tale of depraved sex.
Second, Amber: The Making of a Fuck Toy, by Richard Bissell. No official description, but it's not hard to make one up: Amber comes to her teacher Mr. Bradley asking him to fuck her. He says that he only fucks sluts. She says she can become one for him. He says he's not so sure. She proves him wrong. Sexy tale full of sex and happy domination.

Primevil Vignettes Series, Book 2
Writing Journal: The Adjusters #43 seems to have been well received, which I'm happy about. Next month's #44 is the final setting up of dominos for Book IV, after which I kick them and we see where things land. While the pace of #41–44 was a bit on the slow side, the rest of Book IV should be more snappy. I started on #45 this week, which looks like it will be an easy one to write (as opposed to #43–44, which were painful, with #44 still in pretty rough shape).
Quick question for the folks out there: if you bookmark stories, what do you use for bookmarking? I've been using Delicious because I started with it and inertia is pretty strong with me for stuff like that, but it's not ideal when you've accumulated a lot of bookmarks. Maybe I just haven't found the right way to tag things—I hate tagging—but I'm happy to take recommendations. I would like my bookmarks to live online, though, since I want to access them from different machines. (Although presumably I could store them in a dropbox-synchronized folder.)
The story for today is Book 2 of Velvetglove's Primevil Vignettes series, Rooting for the Underdog: “Multi-part, multi-character, non-consensual saga set in an imaginary country ruled by a dictatorship.” I've talked about Book 1 before, which I enjoyed a lot, and this one is a direct continuation, in exactly the same style—except for the scenes being somewhat shorter. Still a great idea, and I love the cruel little twists here and there. (Note to self: short sex scenes—maybe try that one day. Ah! Who am I kidding?...)

A Couple of Fifth Chapters
Writing Journal: Nothing to report. Just adding my daily bits to The Adjusters #44. Biggest decision is whether to have Jenn in a little black dress or in lingerie.
Drive-by blog post. Just saying hi, wanting to thank you all for the comments you dropped over the last few days—you folks are great, I want you to know that.
Meanwhile, a couple of stories I'm following have dropped new chapters this past week.
First, Kirk has a new chapter (the fifth) of Marlene's Story, which I talked about before. Still good, and taking an interesting direction that will probably get even darker.
Second, DocCIS has a new chapter (also the fifth) of Lapdancing Girlfriend, which I also talked about before. That's one woozy of a chapter—seemingly more than 150000 words, longer than Book I of The Adjusters. (And people say that I overwrite!) Despite its length, the chapter very much follows in the threads of the previous ones, so if you liked them, you should like this one. Not a lot of development, though, which is okay because the sex is hot, but I feel the story should kick a bit faster given that we are really focusing on a single character. Still, hot read.

A Couple of Good Long Stories
Writing Journal: Merrily revising The Adjusters #42 for posting tomorrow night. It's not easy: that installment is completely different from all the previous ones. Earlier this week, I also finished a first pass at #43. And looking at 41–44, I'm noticing that the pacing is slow. Too slow? I don't know. But I suspect (better: hope) that it will pick up some, otherwise, it's going to be one hell of a long book, and that's not going to be good for anybody. (I'd love for Book IV to be about the same length as Book III.)
June's been busy. Too busy. I owe some of you folks email responses—don't worry, they're coming. I have not forgotten nor dismissed. I'm also experiencing my usual late Spring downswing in morale. Put it all together, my smut reading has taken a hit, and so I have less to report than usual.
Still, a couple of very good stories have made their way across my screen—many of them via Djian Understories.
The best find was a story by Velvetglove, Primevil Vignettes (Book One)—Blessed are the Meek: “Multi-part, multi-character, non-consensual saga set in an imaginary country ruled by a dictatorship (the first of seven Books)” Nice setup, very well written, and some clever hot ideas and awesome sex. One of those stories that I wish I had written. I really hope the author goes through their plan to write seven books in that universe. Highly recommended.
I don't think I've ever mentioned this one, but on the previous iteration of Understories I ran across this story by Wilcox010, Summer's Blackmail: “Sexy teacher stumbles her way into trouble.” Another teacher-blackmailed-by-a-student story, that uses a nice little twist at the beginning that unfortunately is not quite followed through the whole way (which I think would have led to something even better) but the story is still good, and may press your buttons if you're into, well, teachers being blackmailed into sex. (Here's a link to the story on Literotica, which may be a bit faster.)
Finally, a couple of new chapters to Kirk's Marlene’s Story have been added since the last time I talked about it. The story still holds up, and it's still a hot read.

HTML Format for Stories
Writing Journal: Jauntily hacking on The Adjusters #41. Going well—it's a pretty straightforward chapter, as far as those things are concerned. Some things are still rough, but I'll figure them out when revising. And there's one character that I wasn't expecting that showed up and said: “Hey, can I have a part?” And the answer might just be yes, yes indeed.
Okay, so I spent part of the weekend hacking on getting an HTML version of The Adjusters on ASSTR.
And I do mean hacking. I ended up writing a perl script to take the HTML output of Scrivener (which is what I generally use to write my stories) and clean it up and massage it to that it matches the CSS I wanted to use. All in all, it went better than expected.
Why do I want HTML? Mainly, because I want true UTF8 encoding, so I can get accents (fiancée) and nice quotes (“...”) and true em-dashes (—). And because I rely a lot on italics for internal dialogue.
Right now, I've only converted the installments from the first book, such as the first installment, Daniel and Jennifer. Check it out, let me know what you think.
In the coming week, I'll finish converting the rest of the tale, and upcoming installments will be posted that way as well, coinciding with the start of Book IV.
A couple of questions for you all, if you care about this in any way:
(1) does anyone actually need the .txt versions? They are suboptimal because of the lack of italics, and it might be a pain to keep in sync, but I'm willing to keep producing them if there's demand.
(2) does anyone care about reading the stories on mobile? Right now, the layout I favor may not look great on mobile (though I haven't tried except on my phone, which is frighteningly dinky). If you do, let me know how things look.
Feel free to post in the comments, or contact me privately.
And as far as stories are concerned, here's another one by Kirk, Marlene's Story: “Marlene Catalano reunites with her brother, who used to dominate her when they were younger.” Sweet, sweet domination. And hopefully, more parts to come.

Honeymoon Gone Awry
Writing Journal: I'm writing The Adjusters #41 and #42 more or less in parallel. I'm trying my hardest, within the bounds of the time that I have, to knock them out as fast as I can so that I can move on to #43 and #44 and give me some welcome buffer room. We'll see how well I can get that to work. The biggest writing decision right now, the one over which I'm going back and forth and probably won't nail until I've started on #43, is whether to have Book IV exclusively from Jenn's perspective, or allow some back and forth with another character.
I still haven't finished digesting the comments I'm receiving for Charlie and the Convent of Oblivion, so I'll wait a bit to comment myself. Probably this weekend.
In the meantime, here's a long story that I'm in the middle of reading. It's Honeymoon Gone Awry, by Kirk: “This is the story of Julie and Doug, two young newlyweds who are very much in love. Our story begins on their wedding day as they drive to their honeymoon suite in Lake George. A flat tire changes the course of their lives in a dramatic way.” This one has humiliation aplenty, a reluctant wife that slowly, ever so slowly, gets turned, and a poor husband who has to suffer as well, for several different reasons. A really great read.
Edit: oops. Forgot the post title.

Back with some Random Stories
Writing Journal: Comments have been trickling in for Charlie and the Convent of Oblivion, and the reception has been a bit tepid. I'm not complaining—not everything I try works, and I wouldn't expect it to. Plus some of it is definitely my fault. I should have made it clearer it's a sequel, for one. For another, upon re-rereading, part (1) does read rather rough. If I were to rewrite it now, I'd figure out a way to start with (2) directly. Ah well. As far as it connects to the Adjusters universe, though, it does seem to suggest that this may be the last Charlie adventure. (I had two other such tales sketched out.) It somehow doesn't fit as well as I hoped it would.
I've neglected this blog for the past few weeks. Life got crazy there with a big deadline last week, and I'm the sort of person that when a deadline approaches and the project is not in good shape, I stop being able to multitask and have to put all my attention on the project or I feel like everything will spin out of control and come crashing down in a fiery spectacular display. But things didn't spin out of control, and life is slowly getting back to normal.
A few stories did manage to catch my attention this week.
Tanked, by The Technician: “A professor finds a very interesting way to defend his research against defunding.” Found this on alt.sex.stories.moderated. (Yeah, I know. Yeah, it still exists. Yeah, once in a while, there's something good there.) Straight up MC story.
Side Bet Bluff, by Statsultan: “Will thought she was bluffing, and it led to a wild week.” Pretty well done, and I like the characters. Good domination/submission interaction, not overdone, but still hot.
Confessions of a Teen Slut, by Gloryholeprincess: “One night of lustful sex with my mom's ex boyfriend.” This one is overdone, but also hot. Not so deep at the character level, but hey, that's not why we read these sometimes.
Life Sentence, by MVPrimetime: “A girl rescued from slavery tells her tale.” That one hit my buttons, at least the day I came across it. It starts very rough, and goes in a weird direction, but it's a pretty good tale. I love the fact that it starts by forcing you to use your imagination, and then filling in the blanks.

Update on The Adjusters #39
Happy belated Easter everyone, if you celebrate it. (Happy Chocolate Bunny day, otherwise.)
The Adjusters #39 will come out tomorrow. I thought I would have enough time to revise the nearly 10000 words of the first part over the weekend, but family obligations got in the way. Thanks for your patience.
In the meantime, keep yourself distracted with the following two stories.
The Librarian, by Duffymor: “A voyeur's dream come true.” Some nice set scenes in this one. The end is a bit harsh, so be warned.
Adventures of Sarah, by Teachgirl1980: “Young teacher gets sub assignment.” Another teacher story. Starts out nonconsensual, but then shifts to something actually sweet.

Djian Understories
Writing Journal: Finished The Adjusters #39, and started on #42. Turns out that #39 ended up way too long (I don't have actual numbers just yet because about half the story is written longhand in a notebook, but I estimate it must hit the 20000 words mark), and probably needs to be split in two, so #39 and #40 will be about Charlie, Jenn's fictional character. Then #41 is the prologue of Book IV, for which I have a few scenes already, but before writing the prologue I want to get started on Book IV proper, which brings us to #42. So there. I'm not claiming it makes sense at this point, but it might once you read it.
You folks may or may not have noticed, but Djian Understories has a new look. I find the current site a bit confusing to navigate, but that's probably just because I've not internalized the new layout yet, or the updating philosophy.
Still, a couple of oldish stories are being republished on it that are worth reading. They all have something going for them, and with a strong blackmailing theme running through them, either explicit or implicit.
Cheerleader's Torment, by James Dawson: “Kate finally was accepted by cheerleader squad, but only after she passed the test, which no girl wanted to talk about.”
Fulfilling the Prerequisite, by Abob1: “A college girl must submit to her TA.”
Aubree's First Apartment, by Doc Sexaday: “Aubree was young and on her own. She had her first apartment and a promising college education ahead of her. The bad news for Aubree was Winston. He had dirt on Aubree and blackmail was in order.”

The Adjusters #38 Possible Delay
Writing Journal: The Adjusters #39 is kicking my butt.
Bad news, folks. I've been tapped to go out of town in stead of a colleague who's sick. This means that I most likely will not be able to post #38 until I get back, so Tuesday at the earliest.
(The installment needs another three hours or so of editing because it's so long, otherwise I'd just post it now.)
Your patience, as it always is, is appreciated.
To keep you entertained in the meantime, here are a few submission-related things:
First, a story, Virtual Slavery, by Wltedford: “'The Story of O' meets 'Beauty & the Beast' online.” An interesting story, and some very interesting scenes. A bit confusing at first, but stay with it.
Second, a trailer for a Japanese movie, Be My Slave. The title says it all. I can't wait until I can get my grubby hands on it.

A Webcomic and a BDSM FanFic Story
Writing Journal: Nothing much to report. Writing at a decent if somewhat glacial pace. I'm Finishing up revisions to The Adjusters #37, including a sex scene that I need to rewrite based on what I'm writing in #38. All of which is procrastination for #39, which I have no real idea how to tackle.
Well, it's not smut, but I was reminded yesterday of an amazing webcomic that I ran across last year and with which I should really keep up better. It's False Positive, and features short stories of the “surreal, fantastic, and macabre.” There are some really fun tales in there, if you like the genre, and the art is simply gorgeous.
Last week I pointed you to some smutty fanfic, so here's another one, in a slightly different vein. It's Rizzoli & Beckett, by Van, a BDSM writer with a strong FemDom focus: “ Two cops from two cities catch the same case... & things head for the Fringe.” Ha! Ha! Fringe, get it? The story is difficult to describe. There's BDSM, and some MC. It's a riff off female characters from different series—Rizzoli from Rizzoli & Isles, Beckett from Castle, Scully from the X-Files, Magnus from Sanctuary, and Dunham from Fringe.

Two FanFic Stories
Writing Journal: So here I am, writing The Adjusters #38, and I'm thinking ahead to the last few scenes of the book, and it doesn't feel quite right, and from out of nowhere, BAM, a new scene pops out, one that I hadn't planned for, screaming for a place in the sun, and it feels right, and it takes things in a slightly different—and better—direction than I originally expected for the end of Book III.
Here are a couple of fanfic smut stories that I've enjoyed, if you're into that sort of thing.
First off is a fanfic for Warehouse 13, a light and campy science-fiction/fantasy show—Warehouse 13: Stone Bonner, by Thepleasuremachine: “Pete unwittingly brings back an artifact that wreaks havoc.” This is pretty much the episode that you'd want shot. An artifact that gives mind-control powers to one of our heroes, who proceeds to put it to good use. Especially nice if you follow the show.
Second, a long long tale in the Doctor Who universe, featuring Amy Pond—Doctor Who: Amy, Captured, by Kurokami: “Amy Pond finds herself held captive.” Some mind control (well, really, body control), bondage, domination/submission games, and a really weird set up. Some very good moments. (And there's a sequel too, Doctor Who: Panic Moon—haven't read that one though.)

A Bag of Mind-Control Stories
Writing Journal: I'm almost finished revising The Adjusters #35, and I'm about halfway done writing #36. It's going slowly, very slowly. Too slowly, in fact. But at least I know what #36 and #37 are all about, and #37 should be the end of Book III—unless it comes out too long, and then I'll have to push some kind of epilogue into #38. But I'd rather avoid doing that. And then, time to start or rather continue writing Book IV, where we catch up with Jenn, which will be a bitch to write for reasons all of its own...
I hope all of you that celebrated Thanksgiving earlier this week had a wonderful time. I certainly did.
As I feared I would be, I've been incredibly busy these last few weeks, so little time to catch up with smut. Thankfully, I have accumulated a bunch of links to mind-control stories that caught my eye in the past few months, and that you may also find interesting.
The first three are rather dark stories where a victim is turned helpless to resist either orders from others, or her own prurient impulses.
In Heat, by Rikimaru: “Tiffany is drugged by John.” Poor Tiffany, who hardly deserved her fate. But quite hot. (ASSTR and by extension the EMCSA has been having problems lately, so refresh often if there are issues accessing the existing seven parts of this story.)
Dare Me Not, by Vexcave: “Janine can't resist a dare after listening to an audio CD.” Poor Janine, who also hardly deserved her fate.
Bossing the Boss, by Fourscore: “Frustrated worker controls his controlling boss.” Poor Suzanne, who maybe deserved her fate a bit more.
Next up, a slightly different take on mind control. Becoming Dominant, by Dirtysillythoughts: “Casey learns of his power through a very sexy mentor.” This is all about Casey discovering he's a dominant, who can assert his will on others. But instead of going on a crazy binge screwing every girl he runs across, he's taken in by his stepmother who teaches him about his gift in a rather special way. Some very interesting scenes in here. The story seems to be ongoing.
Finally, this one is listed as mind control, but frankly, it's not really that. The author, Nsiom, justifies the label by saying that getting someone to do something that they would not do otherwise by offering them enough money is a form of mind control, but I don't buy it. Thankfully, I don't have to, because the story is great even without that label. It's Busford: “People will do anything for money.” Busford is a smug uncouth bastard, but he's got money, and he likes to use it to satisfy his baser instincts. And he's happy to share the wealth with his friends. Some sweetly twisted scenes in there that are almost more effective than had the author used straight-up mind control.
