GOLLY GOSH, BATMAN! LADY CYRRH...WHO IS SHE?

Who am I? Well, the Cyrrh can refer either to stripper Lili St Cyr...or, 
pronouncing it as it's written, as "Sir." Lady Sir. Get it? It's always fun
to leave your gender just the tiniest bit ambiguous.

Speaking of those who enjoy reading about the Dynamic Duo, about a 
month or so back another tongue-in-whatever Batman story 
appeared...about the rape of Robin! Poor Robin gets absolutely no 
respect, though Chris O'Donnel's portrayal in "Batman Forever" was 
what made the movie worth seeing, IMO. "The Rape of Robin" has been 
getting numerous requests for reposts and completion (the author only 
got up to part 3) but it hasn't reappeared yet. If the author is reading 
this, I promise to write a review. 

Speaking of Batman, I can't wait to see what George Clooney does with 
the role. I thought Michael Keaton's Batman was too uptight--he acted 
like he had a stick shoved up his ass all the time--while Val Kilmer's was 
wooden, with the facial mien of a contemplative orangutan. Perhaps Mr. 
Clooney will inspire some more stories, about Batman himself this time?


Snow [A-]
Warrior [A-]

Author: rick.wagner@mansco.com (Rick Wagner)

The narrator of "Snow" gets stuck in a rapidly worsening snowstorm 
and pulls off the highway. He gets something to eat in a nearby 
restaurant and is attracted to the young waiter who serves him, whom 
he later meets and fucks in an adult video store courtesy of a glory hole, 
and after that they rent a motel room together and have lusty yet 
playful sex. In "Warrior" the same guy (?), seduces a fellow Marine in a 
battleship shower, with rather raunchier sex (come on, they're 
Marines.)

Not much character development or plot in these besides the sex, but 
both were well written except for a case of "let's see how many 
synonyms we can find for penis." (There were a lot.) A few of the sexual 
descriptions were truly stunning--directness without literary 
pretension. It's always refreshing to read about hot sex where the 
participants have a good time and aren't exploiting, hurting, or 
demeaning each other.

Why do mostly-straight women like to read about gay male sex? For the 
same reasons mostly-straight men like to read about lesbian sex.


Dark Mark [D]

Author: ?

Young Mark goes out to the city to score in the clubs with his silver 
cock ring on. He goes into the men's room and gets used and abused and 
peed on. At least that's what I think happened. The story was so badly 
written that, if you took out the punctuation and capitol letters, it would 
read like free-form verse assembled by Burroughsian fragmentation. 
There were flashes of good stuff in here, but the author really needs to 
learn how to tell a coherent story. Plus too many typos, misspellings, 
POV shifts, tense problems, and awkward grammatical errors to 
mention.


Teacher [A]
When posted: 5/22/97

Author: Anne018bi

Two young, pretty lesbians go for a walk along a lake, the first 
entertaining the second with descriptions of her role as a "teacher" to 
another pair of lesbians who didn't have a clue as to what they should 
be doing. Naturally, the narrator and her girlfriend get pretty hot in 
the telling. This story was well written and literate; for some strange 
reason, though, I kept picturing the girls as Southern semi-redneck 
chicks who were the first in their families to get a college degree. No 
matter. The author already knows how to tell a good story, so the only 
suggestion I'd make is to flesh it out more with personal detail, but 
overall it deserves its A. 

For aol users, more of the author's stories are available on an ftp site at

Story: Just Deserts [B]
When posted: 6/13/97

Author: nobody@REPLAY.COM (Anonymous)

In a small town somewhere in heartland of America, a new means of 
punishment has been devised for disobedient young men. They are 
taken to a pavilion, stripped, and strapped while hanging by their 
wrists. The narrator has turned in her son for vandalism and watched 
him pay for it, but after accusing a politician of sexual harassment, she 
finds herself up for the same punishment.

All this makes the story sound longer and more complicated than it was. 
There was a slight kinkiness in the fact that the son watches mom being 
whipped, but otherwise the writing was competent and there were no 
surprises.


Confessions of Slave Vivian Chapter 4569 [A]

yonny@NOSPAM!worldnet.att.net

This little gem was tucked way, way back in mounds of steamy spam, and 
I'm glad I took a peek. A short but hilarious parody of the done-to-death 
"slave's confession" story, in the manner of Eli the Bearded's "I've Got 
Big Tits" a month or so back. I hope the writer reposts this.

Finally, a much-needed listing of the authors, reviewers, and reposters 
who've been active on alt.sex.stories over the past few years, along with 
an index of their stories. Download this immediately; it's worth it. Note to 
Ole Joe: you may want to post this version more than once to make sure 
everyone catches it.


Personal note to the self-aggrandizing author who concluded a recent 
multi-part posted story with instructions on "how to write:"  A. Get a job. 
Fast food workers are always in demand.  B. Shut up.
