{ASSM} The Birthday Surprise (MF, bondage) By dan . <wibbletasticus@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34986
It's her birthday, and he sent her out to buy ice cream. She's a little miffed - after all, it is *her* birthday - but she complies. Next he orders her into her bedroom for her first present: some fancy lingerie.
And then he really starts ordering her around. While there is some bondage involved, this is more about domination than anything else. She eventually gets dominated into a very nice orgasm.
The isn't bad, but it has a lot of little problems. The author has trouble with "lie" versus "lay," and there were a handful of typos and misspellings. On two occasions, the shifts points of view to the man, which reads like a mistake. As for the plot, the transition from the woman being annoyed to the woman loving it came too fast to be believable.
While "The Birthday Surprise" is not a technical disaster, several little problems pile up and keep it from being as good as it could be. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} The CleanUp Girl. (FF+M, gangbang, eating.) By Jack Mee <sexstories1001@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35012
Erika wants a job in porn so she can service Pink, her favorite porn star. Erika goes to an audition where fifty other are hanging around waiting for a crack at a part in Pink's latest movie. Bored out of her skull, Erika kills time in the waiting room by eating out another would-be actress. Just as she gets the off, Erika gets called in to see Pink.
As any self-respecting porn star should, Pink is impressed by the girl with girl-cum on her chin, so Erika gets to appear in a real movie. They move into the next room where the set is ready. The cameras roll. Pink gets fucked. Erika slurps the of out Pink's cunt. Repeat.
This is basically a cum-eating piece, with a speculum thrown in for a little spice. The grammar, spelling, and formatting are not good, but the prose is simple and the is still readable.
But there isn't much here. The characters are unbelievable, and the action is ridiculous. If you're not hugely turned on by cum-eating, there's not much in "The Cleanup Girl" for you. Rating: * *

{ASSM} The Candyman(MMF,wife,voy,mast) By Ovid <mpinchwife@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34988
A and his have made love a thousand times, and it is getting a little stale. Hoping to spice up his marriage, the hides in the bedroom closet, thinking that surprising his may make their love-life more interesting.
While the husband is waiting, a salesman arrives at the front door. He is the Candyman, who is selling chocolate samples. After the Candyman leaves, the skitters to the bedroom and shoves a dildo in and out of her while the husband peeks from the closet. Needless to say, this makes quite an impression on hubby. He sneaks out unobserved, and later, after he has arrived home from work, the couple share some of the chocolates left by the Candyman. And then they fuck like bunnies.
Every Thursday, the Candyman returns to keep the couple supplied in chocolates. Every Thursday, the husband sneaks back into the closet to spy on his constantly masturbating wife. At one point, the Candyman admits that the chocolates are spiked with an aphrodisiac. By then, everyone is in a sexual frenzy, and the Candyman talks his way into the bedroom, where he watches the wife masturbating, too. To find out what happens next, you'll have to read the story.
This isn't a bad story. There were quite a few typos and grammar mistakes, and the ending came too fast. But as far as wife- watching to, it's a good one. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} Calendar by Mat Twassel and Lorrin Murray By Mat Twassel & Lorrin Murray <mmtwassel@aol.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34993
A daily desk calendar - you've seen them, I'm sure. This calendar has pictures on each page; this is thirteen memorable days of this very interesting caleandar. Thirteen photographs: nude women, provocative poses, an occasional shock of explicitness. Just a paragraph or two describing each photograph.
But is this a story? Not really, not in the traditional sense. It is simply thirteen artful descriptions. And other than the erotic theme, there isn't much that ties them together.
But it's a very quick read, and the descriptions are very good. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} Honey. I Mean Real Honey (FFM, FF) by Sam Cornell By Sam Cornell <cornell525@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35001
Sam, an American female VP in London has the hots for Sally, the personal assistant of another VP. Sally has honey-colored skin, and our American hero just can't get her out of her mind.
At the company Christmas party, they strike up a conversation. The tricky American entices Sally to another bar, where they spot a handsome getting drunk with his buddies. The two women conspire to pick him up, and the threesome returns to Sam's posh apartment.
Although it isn't coded, this contains anal sex and makes some strong hints about watersports (pissing).
The verb tenses in this get confused on several occasions, and there are a few stretches where the action is glossed over. The scene at the bar where the women are drooling over the man, for example, goes too fast. Sally, the title character, is not well-drawn. I also don't care much for the way the anal sex is described.
In spite of its flaws, the has its moments. The narrator is a good, strong, wonderfully sex-obsessed character, and by the time the ended, I had a strong vision of her in my mind. That in itself is a good accomplishment. Rating: * * *
