These tales contain scenes of explicit sex and violence; if you find such descriptions offensive, I suggest you leave the site now. Also, if for any reason whatsoever you should not be permitted access to this material (for example, due to your age and/or the laws of the area where you either live or are currently staying) then you should leave the site now. I can and will take no responsibility for any consequences if you don't. My thanks to ASSTR ----------------- It's excellent that there is a forum for publicizing these works, whether you're a serious author or someone who scribbles for fun, whether you're a connoisseur of erotica or just read the tales to get turned on. So keep supporting ASSTR please! Why Write These Stories? ----------------------- It's often asked, but as far as I'm concerned it's the wrong question. They're obviously written to be read, so why do people like to read stories involving not just sex but also elements of danger or violence that no sane person would choose in real life? Personally I believe such escapism is an important safety-valve in the psyche, quite likely linked to a physiological need stemming from the fight-or-flight reactions of our distant ancestors. We need a bit of adrenalin now and then. Does it desensitize us? No. Fortunately almost everyone learns to separate fantasy from reality at a very early age: even a six year old can be much more shocked by a body under a shroud on a news bulletin than a murder scene in a film. So: relax, read on, and enjoy... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- All original work, copyright (c) J.M.Maserati, 2001 to 2003.

They're only written for the hell of it, which means I haven't a clue whether anyone actually likes them or not unless I get a bit of feedback. So, you're welcome to send me an e-mail [jm_maserati@hotmail.com] and let me know what you think: any genuinely constructive criticism will be taken on board (unhelpful flames will just be ignored - I guess I'm never going to be the next Tolstoy, but I know from the emails I get and the average ratings from the website and the other sites who've posted my work that the material's not *that* bad). The tediously predictable viruses from juvenile jokers, puerile prats and other teenage tossers with IQs smaller than their shoe size will also get nowhere, so don't bother. =================== Mirrorman (MF, MC) =================== Feb.02, Length: 28k --------------------- 7448 hits, rating: 8.8 --------------------- By some inexplicable mystic trickery, a young woman finds herself no more than a reflection, trapped inside a mirror-world by her unknown assailant. Helplessly, she looks on as he enjoys himself with her body in the real world. My first attempt at a mind-control tale, written on request. I'm interested to know what other people think of it. ======================================= Reins of Power (MF, 1st, reluc, heavy) ======================================= Jan.03, Length: 43k ------------------------ new - no hits/ratings yet ------------------------ Simeon Waterstaff was the man who ran the city and when he died, the fight between the gangs and mobs to take over the reins of power grew vicious. The corrupt local police chief's daughter is kidnapped, as part of a plan to put the frighteners on him. The new boss is then about to take her back to school when a misunderstanding presents him with a most tempting alternative. Warning: this one's a little harder/heavier than most of what I put on here. Mind you, that's what mostly seems to get the best ratings... ============= Lab Rat (MF) ============= Nov.01, Length: 31k --------------------- 5170 hits, rating: 8.7 --------------------- A biochemist walks into a lawyer's office with an unlikely story. The attorney has a thorny problem to answer. Did she agree to it, or was she drugged and molested? Would the case stand up in court? Or are there other possibilities? ======================================= Gray Duke (various: MF, NC, 1st, viol) ======================================= Jul.02, Length: 102k (in 10 scenes on website) ---------------------------------------------------- 1840 hits, rating: 8.1 ------------------------- An unspecified fantasy setting somewhere in medieval Europe. The Gray Duke is a ruthless and power-hungry conqueror, warrior and overlord with an army of equally tyrannical and merciless soldiery helping him slowly to subdue the surrounding fiefdoms and unite them into one country. Two of his victims, poles apart socially but bonded by their desire for revenge, end up in a partnership to plot against him. This is a longer piece with considerably more character background than usual, working on the premise that the erotic elements are more effective if you've had longer to associate and empathize with the figures involved. As always, I'm interested to know whether this works for you or not... ===================== Teflon (MF, IR, ROM) ===================== New in Oct.02, Length: 29k ------------------------- 623 hits, rating: 8.1 ---------------- This one is basically autobiographical and was written to make a point. Interracial stories are often very negative there are too many stupid stories floating around about black guys with impossibly large penises raping white women. Okay, there are relatively few such actual relationships but they have to put up with so much that they're often pretty good ones. I wanted to help put the record straight with a "true" story. (Okay: I don't play guitar, her brother isn't a dangerous criminal and it wasn't quite that spontaneous...) ==================== The Pickpocket (MF) ==================== New in Jun.02, Length: 40k ------------------------- 3749 hits, rating: 8.4 ---------------------- A pretty youngster is spotted picking pockets by one of her classmates, who works part time behind the CCTV at the mall. But instead of passing the information on to the authorities, he decides to try a little blackmail only to discover to his surprise that she's not actually that unwilling. ==================== Good Deal (MF, 1st) ==================== Dec.01, Length: 31k --------------------- 6284 hits, rating: 8.7 --------------------- An older man remembers how his backwater hometown in Ireland used to be controlled by the one tough family and how they jealously isolated their daughter from the local lads, thinking her too good for them. But the lonely and isolated Fionagh is equally spirited and inevitably finally has her teenage rebellion against them, making a deal with the young man that he might regret but will never forget. ============================= Droit de Seigneur (MF reluc) ============================= Jan.02, Length: 31k -------------------- 3762 hits, rating 8.0 -------------------- There's no love lost between the local feudal chieftain and the power-broking Lombard moneylender who once bankrolled his schemes. When she's due to be married, the Italian's daughter becomes just an unfortunate pawn in the power games. ============================================= Rebel Star (various MF, incl: 1st, NC, viol) ============================================= Oct.01 (via FTP since Jun.02), Length: 67k (in 4 scenes on web site) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4243 hits, rating: 8.3 --------------------- During his deportation to a penal colony, computer criminal Lucas plans a one-man mutiny and takes over the transport ship. In the ensuing orgy of destruction, his crew capture a small Imperial cruiser. He realises they've bitten off more than they can chew, when it turns out that his hostages include the High Princess and several other noblewomen from her entourage. The setting is science-fiction, but the writing is of course primarily about the people. So it's not full of ray-guns and little green men from Alpha Centauri: bad luck if that's your thing (although Trekkies and Asimov fans etcetera etcetera may find a few references to giggle at). These are the juicier extracts from a full-length work, rewritten to stand alone as short stories. ====================== Daylight Robbery (MF) ====================== Apr.02, Length: 24k --------------------- 3832 hits, rating: 7.2 --------------------- Adventures when the identity of a mysterious highwayman is uncovered. It's the start of a surprising relationship between a young gentlewoman and the soldier who used to be her dead brother's best friend, one of the few who hadn't suspected him. ============================ Skin Against Skin (MF, reluc) ============================ May.02, Length: 20k --------------------- 3499 hits, rating: 7.9 --------------------- He was seriously pissed at Jenny. His girlfriend gave him the cold shoulder at a party and let all the other lads have her by the pool. When he went back in the house to cool off, he found Dawn crashed out in a drunken haze... in no fit state to remember what was happening, let alone offer any resistance =============================== Exodus (MF, FF, some NC/reluc) =============================== in progress ---------- I was going to wait until the whole thing was ready, but that's not progressing very fast. I've had a few enquiries by email, so I'm going to put a couple of chunks of it on the site shortly (aug/sep)</td> ------------------ A middle-caste archaeologist, one of the mass of downtrodden and subjugated lower ranked Federal citizens, discovers some ancient terminals in a military bunker from the last millennium. Wonder of wonders, they are still very much active and he is able to boost himself up to the highest echelons of power. Once there, he can do as he pleases, sampling the very best the Federation has to offer while beginning to plot the downfall of the system. Another future-world setting, in which the cognoscenti will pick out at the very least bits of 1984, Brave New World and the Handmaid's Tale. Again parts of a full-length novel, rewritten to stand alone as a set of short stories.
