In one of my last Reviews I mentioned some pointers about protecting
your web site, if you have one, from minors. Here is another one.
There are a number of companies that offer a screening service for
parents, and by registering with them your site will be rendered
accessible from those households. At least, that's how I think it
works. At any rate, it might be good idea for you to check these folks

Presentation [A+]
When received: 8/31/97
Author: Solstice
Address: solstice@frontiernet.net (Solstice)

The author sent me this one, with a note indicating it will be posted
the first week of September. NOTE: If you haven't posted it yet,
please hurry. It was very good.

A businessman about to make an important presentation to his client's
board of directors falls under the hypnotic spell of the firm's CEO.
She hypnotizes him to commit all sorts of sexual acts with her and her
secretary, and he is only too eager to continue. Anticipating similar
treatment from the company's board, he strips, lubes and butt-plugs
himself, then walks into the conference room with head and penis
high...but read for yourself what happens next.

This story was a good variation on mind-control ones, with the
hypnotism handled plausibly and realistically. Those of us who work
for large companies where viewfoil presentations are routine will note
the creative, but ineffective, use of those stiff 8 x 10 sheets of
plastic towards the end of the story. It left me with a WLG (wicked
little giggle) on my face. On the whole, a lark and an intelligent
read.


The Barber Chair [A]
When posted: 8/31/97

Author: Saucy Wench

I've noticed that traditionally feminine settings such as spas,
lingerie shops, and, in this story, a hair salon, lend themselves very
well to lesbian sex fantasies. I guess it's the lingering aroma of
estrogen and what is generally referred to in ASS stories as "juices."

In this story by Saucy Wench (love that name) the narrator goes to a
hair salon after closing for a special appointment she is apprehensive
about. She has reason to be, as the stylist straps her to the chair,
puts those pointy beautician's hair clips to good use on several body
parts, then shaves and spritzes her pussy.   Then come other delights
of the dom-sub variety. The story was breezily told and ended in a
cliffhanger...a nice fantasy to reflect on the next time you're
getting a haircut from a female stylist.


When Morning Comes [A+]
When posted: 8/28/97
Where posted: ASS
Author: Joe Parsons
Address: Unknown
Reposter: http://www.porn-king.com/

The plot of this story was fairly simple: a beautiful woman,
unsatisfied with the "nice guy" nature of her current lover, dreams of
someone more explorative and dangerous. She gets her wish when he pays
her a visit one morning as she's still floating in out of her dreams.
They have tons of sex. He tells her things like "I will make love to
you now, Ellen, but you must do exactly as I say. Do you understand?"
Even though people in the real world don't phrase things like this,
here the Mr. Data talk is most arousing and lets us know an intricate
dance of romantic submission and dominance will be played. In fact,
the whole piece was very female-oriented, soft focus but fairly
explicit, and I recommend it as a good introduction for women who
would normally be horrified at reading any kind of porn. (Of course,
any women reading the Annex probably won't need this kind of
introduction.) For men, this story is a good one to give to your porn-
hating girlfriend or wife. On a fresh, virginal diskette with a pink
ribbon around it.

The story also brings up some points I want to make about POV, or
point of view.   The most arousing stories, I've found, are ones where
you can put yourself in the place of the characters (as a woman might
do with the protagonist in this story) yet simultaneously see it in
your head as if you were watching a movie (the voyeur factor.) So many
writers mangle this element badly, so I recommend all writers read
this story to see how it should be done.

In sum, this one's a keeper. The only criticism I have is the line
"Ellen did not normally care to have her pussy licked." Huh? What
planet is she from?


Vampire Love Story [B-]
When posted: 8/1/97
Where posted: ASS, ASSM
Author: Aurora
Address: claudia@hom.net

Anne Rice is the best-selling author of "The Vampire Chronicles" and
"The Witches of Mayfair" series, which deal with the supernatural
world of vampires, witches, ghosts, and other boggles. This story,
obviously written by a fan, was inspired by Rice's world and depicts
sex between a leather-clad vampire and the leather-corseted sweet
young thing he's captured.

Although I like Rice's work, there was nothing special about this
story; it didn't capture the melodramatic, gothic nature of her work.
The story didn't bring to mind Rice's erotic fiction, either. To be
fair, though, I imagine it might be entertaining for someone who
hasn't read Rice's work, and has a yen for the Dark Side.


Girl Crazy [B]
When posted: 9/5/97
Where posted: ASS, ASSM
Author: CANDY KANE
Address: GQKZ45C@prodigy.com

This was one of series of stories posted by this author. The others
include "Girlfriends" "Girls on Girls" "Heather and Sarah" and "Lez be
Friends." Guess what they're about.

As sex stories go, these were basic: minimal characterization, minimal
plot, minimal description. Just fucking, and basic fucking at that.
I'd guess you'd call them meat n' potatoes. There were a few
misspellings: "Necture" for "nectar" but nothing major. 

There was one interesting line in here: "Go fish." I guess this is a
common sex game for lesbians, as it was the title of an indie lesbian
film released a few years ago.
