Tainted Lime Reviews Issue #3 January 7, 2002
A short note to the readers of the Tainted Lime Reviews: if you've sent me email about the reviews, don't expect a reply from me. It's not that I don't appreciate hearing from people; it's just my time is limited, and I'd rather spend it reviewing instead of yammering on and on about the reviews.
Now, on to the stories. ---
Stories reviewed in this issue:

{ASSM} Grinch Parody By Lucy <lil_loocie@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34453
This takes place several years after the original "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," when the Grinch has had plenty of opportunity to get angry at the Whos again. This time, he's mad because the fucking Whos don't fuck, and his pecker has shrunken to the size of a green bean. Eager to get back at the prudes, he again goes on a Christmas Eve rampage, stealing the Whoville Christmas fixings.
And once again, much like the scene from years ago, little Cindy Loo Who, who is all grown up now, saves the day.
As a parody of Dr. Seuss, this is spotty. Parts of it, especially later in the story, are extraordinarily well done and funny. Other parts are just OK. The best parts are when the Grinch's tinkler makes a comeback towards the end of the story; the first stanzas are not quite as effective.
But if you ever wanted to know how Dr. Seuss would write a sex scene, take a look at this one. It's short, it'll only take you a couple minutes to read it, and you'd have to be a real grinch if you don't smile at least twice during this cute little rhyme. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} The Accidental Sappho (FF) By the lizard king <zagreus@aol.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34475
The new leadership at the Delta Chi sorority have one of the dumbest campaigns ever to root out the secret community at their college. Gretchen gets wrapped up in this idiotic plan to tape the in action, but the plan goes awry when Gretchen leaves incriminating evidence after she sneaks in to hide a in a suspected lesbian's room.
There follows a series of farcical escapades which all end up with Gretchen munching carpet with yet another from Sigma Sigma Sigma. After one such encounter, Gretchen utters a truly great line: "That's it ... No more anonymous sex until I've had something to eat."
This is a very good with a strong plot, a good central character, and some well-aimed shots at the Delta Chi homophobes. The prose in this is occasionally loose, but that's only a minor complaint. Read this one. You'll like it. Rating: * * * * *

{ASSM} (New WZB) "Election Night at the Tittie Bar" (no sex) By Writerzblocked <writerzblocked@aol.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34494
This is really just a few snips of overheard conversation in a tittie bar on election night. It's short, sometimes funny, but repetitive and ultimately unfulfilling. It was nice to read as a change from the regular ASS fare, but it's not the kind of that tries to get you all hot and bothered. Rating: * *

{ASSM} {Thigh_Vs._Thigh} Curse of the Mummies' Cocks By Shon Richards <shonrichardshsd@earthlink.net> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34511
This is a parody of that tomb raider that was out not too long ago. In this one, Flora Kraft invades the tomb of the The Three Pharoahs, followed closely by two corporate agents, Amy and Bethany. Each woman takes her own path downward, and each has her own crazy sex adventure in the ancient Egyptian crypt.
The writing isn't the sharpest in ASSM. Repeated words, many minor grammatical errors, and awkward phrasing all detract from the telling. If this wasn't so obviously done for fun, the technical problems probably would have earned it a lower rating.
It doesn't help that all I know about Laura Kroft is from the commercials I've seen on TV. Perhaps the Laura-philes out there will enjoy this more. In any case, if you're looking for a good-natured sex parody of a tomb raider movie, you'll enjoy this story, but be prepared to suffer through a lot of misplaced commas. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} Inside Out and Wrong Side Up - Part of the Small Dick Trilogy By King Webster <kingwebster2_nospam@netscape.net> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34554
This was not coded, but contains humiliation, bondage, domination, and anal sex.
The hero of this has a "tiny" cock, one that measures a mere four inches when erect. As far as I've heard, four inches may be on the small side, but it isn't especially tiny. But that doesn't matter; the hero *thinks* his cock is tiny, and that is all that is necessary for him to be the humiliated by his "girlfriend."
Alex, his girlfriend, brings Sara along to watch the big event. Alex whips him, binds him, and forces him to suck a dildo. And then things get even more humiliating.
The sex and humiliation is well-written, but the surrounding came up short for me. The reason the narrator says he puts up with the abuse is "[Alex] had that effect on me," which is not a compelling reason in my book. Of course the small penis misconception is all wrapped up in it too, but I got to the end of this and wished I'd read about the earlier stages of this relationship and how Alex began to take control. Honestly, Alex is the most interesting character, but all she is here is a humiliation machine.
If small-dicked being humiliated by gorgeous women are your thing, you probably don't mind skimming past the set up and getting to the sex. But if your kinks go another direction, you probably won't like this one much. Rating: * * *
