{ASSM} Subway series #5: The Key to the Whole Thing (MF, interr) By theGreatxIam <max_wojtylak@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35497
The guy in "The Key to the Whole Thing" has the stupidest boss in the world. Even though they are just bureaucrats in the Department of Agriculture, his boss makes them work farmer's hours. (Get it? Agriculture equals farmers?) The only good thing about the work hours is the sparsely populated subways during the morning and evening commutes.
Normally the drowsy bureaucrat is content to surreptitiously ogle the handful of pretty who share his early morning train. Stephen King Lady, Red, Cleopatra ... they have that little something special that make those early Washington D.C. mornings seem just a little bit more bearable.
And then one day, Cleopatra drops her keys. Our hero leans forward to pick them up for her, and somehow he ends up with his nose wedged somewhere it ordinarily wouldn't be.
Apparently, sex on a subway can be very fulfilling. And reading about sex on a subway, especially if this is the subway sex you're reading, can be very fulfilling, too. I can't recommend this enough. The sex is outstanding, and the narrator knows how to spin an entertaining even when his dick isn't buried balls-deep. And the ending ... well, the ending should not be missed.
TheGreatxIam has already given us a long string of excellent stories, but this is the best one yet. Rating: * * * * *

{ASSM} Invisible {Douglas Ossified} (mf voy 1st) By ossified <ossified@hushmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35521
A used to be best friends with his sister, and then his sister hits puberty. A thirteen-year-old doesn't get much attention from sixteen-year-old girls, so when Courtney's friends all come over for a swim in the pool, the narrator becomes nearly invisible.
He has a big crush on his sister's friend Allison. When Allison goes swimming and leaves her unattended, he sneaks over and jerks off into them. Allison returns unexpectedly, giving the boy time to cover up but no time to clean them up. When she starts to put her on, she feels something unexpected. She wonders what it could be, and when looking around, the formerly invisible suddenly becomes visible.
At the end, there is a song reference that I didn't get, so the ending left me baffled, but the rest of the is very good. Only a few minor typos mar the technically good prose. And I liked the idea of an invisible boy, and the author pulls off the sense of being ignored reasonably well.
This is a very good of a boy's first exposure to sex. Rating: * * * *

{ASSM} The Vacation (lesbian) By Big Guns <bigguns45acp@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35541
Wow. Tracie graduated from high school at 16, attended a prestigious university at 17, and graduated in only three years! She must be one smart cookie.
Tracie should have taken more English classes in college. But then again, why should she have? She has a 36C rack and majored in physical education, and, after she inherits a few cool million from her favorite uncle, she gets to celebrate by taking a vacation in a swinging resort in Jamaica.
Who needs English classes when life is so perfect?
In the resort's hot tub, Tracie meets Bobbi, a with a 40DD chest, and the decide to try on each other's thong bikinis. (Eww! They need to teach better hygienic practices in Phys Ed 101.)
Anyway, there is some and shaving and anal fingering and other stuff like that.
If precocious Tracie had taken more English classes in college, she might have written a more enjoyable story. But she missed that opportunity, and so she writes like a sixteen-year-old boy. Of course that's not all bad. What sixteen-year-old lack in polish they make up for in enthusiasm, and the author of this story is obviously having a lot of fun.
But if unfocussed enthusiasm isn't what you're looking for, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. Rating: * *

{ASSM} Curtains By Selena Jardine <selenajardine@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35540
A has a life that isn't going so well. He dislikes his job, he and his have a non-existent sex life, and he's 170 pounds overweight. After a trip to the doctor, he decides he needs to work on that weight problem, and he begins walking around the backyard every day.
He makes enough progress where he feels he can walk around the neighborhood, and there he discovers many of his neighbors do not draw their curtains at night. Through one window, he spots a sweet studying econ, and he is stunned when she strips off all her clothes and tosses them in the laundry. Some long dormant urges are reawakened.
There is a lot to like about this story. The sense of realism will pull you in. The main character changes and finds himself in a much happier place. The sex is exciting and happy and celebratory. What more could you ask for?
This is an excellent, almost inspirational story. Be sure to read it. Rating: * * * * *

{ASSM} Quicky: Morning Blow{Tom Thumper} (FM, oral) By Tom Thumper <tom9211@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35554
Steve is having quite a dream. He's talking in his sleep, telling Brittney what he wants her to do, and he gets so boisterous that he wakes up Cindy.
Cindy isn't bothered about the Brittney dream. In fact, she can't help but take advantage of that huge erection Steve is sporting. She takes him into her mouth.
And that's about it. There's some schoolgirl thing going on in the background, but mostly this is a woman taking advantage of a morning erection. While the plot is weak, the writing is very good, and the sex is excellent.
For a very short story, the author did an admirable job. Rating: * * *
