Molly Was Ecstatic When She Learned Her Family
Over the years hundreds of people have written erotic stories and posted them for the public to relish either in one of the collection of Usenet newsgroups in the hierarchy "Alt.Sex.Stories," or, earlier those existed, on bulletin boards. Many others take in some mode helped those authors. This Hall of Fame is designed to honor some of those contributors to the erotic writing community.
The rules for eligibility are simple. The persons honored must either accept posted nothing to the newsgroups during the year before they are named, or must have sent a farewell. The listing is in no way competitive. Someone--a single person--must nominate the person to be honored and include a paragraph describing in some way the achievements of the nominee. This may be washed by scrolling to the bottom of this folio and clicking on the administrator'south address. Anyone may add a paragraph to an included proper name past following the same procedure.
Names are arranged alphabetically by first name.
Alan Mathews
His only contribution to Ass* was the sadly unfinished &qu ot;The Watching Trilogy." It'due south a beautifully told, romantic story of two teenagers that autumn in love with each other and face the globe to fulfil their dear. It's quite a poignant, tenderly sweet and extremely sensuous tale; one that arouses you, brings y'all to the brink of tears, makes you grin, express mirth, detest... I hope that anytime Alan will terminate information technology. -- Rui Jorge
Anne Arbor
The gloriously graphic sex scenes in Anne Arbor'due south prose, as exciting and intense as any written anywhere, never fail to serve the story. With precision and passion Anne Arbor's stories plunge usa into the intimatecenters of characters coming to terms with themselves and their relationships, and the deft mix of plots and passion and people catches usa upwards, squeezes us in ways both heady and troubling. Everywhere are undercurrents of tension, promises of exquisite release. Her stories are similar sex. Read them all at Anne Arbor's spider web site: -- Mat Twassel
A. Syed Masood
From English as She is Spoken to the teaching booklet in the dollar shop toy that you bought night, mangled English language has entertained many people over the centuries. Nevertheless, few people have mangled English language as lyrically every bit A. Syed Masood did in "Sophia," "Mom," and the unfinished novel, "Daisies and Lillies". Ze* combined fulsome metaphors, highflown phrasing, and literary quotes into a mixture that would have been pretentious if it had aspired to any deep meanings at all. Also untheaterical to be high camp and likewise well constructed to exist bulldada, Masood's stories exist in a quality category of its own. -- Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo
*Note: 'Hir' and 'Ze' are experimental nongendered pronouns, not typos.
Bitbard (aka Sandman)
A prolific author who got amend as he went along, Sandman was very active in ASSD, ever set up to reply questions, a person who was always set up to help out -- he helped me a great deal when I was a newbie, and I know of others he helped. He was a valuable banana to Celeste for a while, and was role of the small grouping that kept her review cavalcade going when she pulled out for a while. His web site was not only beautiful, information technology was an important resource for many of u.s.. His stories may exist found at his Bi bliography folio --Jane Urquhart
*** *** ***
Bitbard helped me get noticed by calculation my stories to his much missed web site. He was e'er there to answer any question that I had, no matter how stupid or uncomplicated the question was. As much as I miss existence able to become to his web site for some excellent stories, including his own, I miss him much more as a mentor and friend. He said in his farewell that he may testify upwardly again, maybe equally BitBard, perchance under some other name. Information technology may be wishful thinking, but I hope he returns soon. --Maria Gonzales
Celeste
For more than five years, almost of the well- known authors whose works appeared in alt.sex.stories posted their stories so held their breaths: What would Celeste say? She reviewed stories, and her discussion mattered.
Most of the stories I posted appeared betwixt March, 1998 and February, 1999. One of Celeste's guest reviewers, Sandman, gave my outset endeavor the highest possible honor--three tens. I was utterly thrilled. As I posted more, I got a fiddling jaded, and began to counterbalance fan post confronting Celeste'southward stance. Just let's face up it--I always wanted to know: What would Celeste say? And I wanted to know badly. I had a number of friends among the other authors; I know they felt the same way, and I strongly suspect nobody was immune.
Celeste never minced words--she told people what she idea about their stories. She undoubtedly had immense influence on the development of the sexual practice story groups during her tenure as queen of reviewers, which lasted from her very first day in July, 1995, until she posted her concluding column on December 17, 2000. An English teacher, she cared most writing in all its aspects--content, style, structure, grammar, punctuation.
If Celeste liked a story, she said so, and if she didn't she said that, too. In her earliest columns, she used only 1 figure, from 1 to ten, to betoken her rating. Afterwards she adopted a system of three categories: Athena (technical quality); Venus (plot & character); and Celeste (appeal to reviewer). Some of us hated the grading system--I myself called information technology something like a childish reversion to elementary school--but others didn't heed. Some of us verbally vomited when she began to top her column with jokes. Occasionally people blasted her in ASSD for reviews they considered unfair or otherwise unpalatable. Nigh unpopular, probably, was her utilise of guest reviewers, some of whom were disastrously unsatisfactory, even though most did the job well. But Celeste never wavered--she went her merry way, ignoring the attacks, whatsoever they were, whoever they came from. In i of her later columns, she deigned to explain why she used guests--largely a matter of overwork, she said--but she never changed her practice. As far as I could meet, she never let criticism touch her reviews. The last story I posted on Donkey she gave 3 tens, despite the fact that I had attacked her unmercifully on ASSD for various perceived misdeeds. She had integrity.
Besides her columns, Celeste occasionally ran story contests that many people liked. She also posted lists of her choices as best stories of the month and the year, and a long list of Donkey writers she considered worth reading.
She sometimes helped writers in trouble. Early in my career I ran into a crisis in my writing that threatened me; it had to practise with fans, non with writing per se. I posted a note about it on ASSD, asking for help, and from Celeste I received a long and helpful reply. She was not the only i who helped me then, just she proved her concern for people, as well as authors, with that gesture.
It'southward worth mentioning that Celeste had biases, and permit people know she had them. She preferred not to review pedophilia stories, or stories that independent "mindless violence"; she said she was not interested in stories of magic and sorcery, or stories based on Tv serial or novels with which she was unfamiliar. Starting time on her listing of dislikes, however, were stories that looked "utterly illiterate." Some writers of stories that fit those definitions faulted her for not writing those reviews; others simply understood--we all have our preferences. In any example, she had plenty of stories left later on subtracting those, and so she asked writers who peculiarly wanted reviews to send her copies of their stories.
Celeste avowed that her purpose was to improve the quality of stories posted, and I think well-nigh everyone agrees that she did. She is credited with inventing "the blow-job principle," which urges readers to write and thank authors whose stories they enjoyed, the thought existence that such praise would spur the authors on to write again. It worked for me. She also published an online grammar, and urged writers to use it. Whatever the cause, it seems to me that authors' grammar did improve during her tenure. And her reviews oft discussed the structure of stories, the quality of grapheme presentation, and many other aspects of the craft of writing. For those great favors, readers and writers both owe her a debt of gratitude.
When she ceased writing her cavalcade for several months in 1999, those of us who were agile noticed her absenteeism immediately. ASSD carried long arguments about whether we should be glad or sad that she was gone. Near people, I think, believed that on balance she was a good influence, someone we needed, no matter that we might object to some of her methods, or fifty-fifty to the very notion of reviews. Her writings served as a central focus for the writers of ASS, and helped to make a reasonably cohesive group of a flock of writers whose interests varied widely and who otherwise often were at cross- purposes. Nearly of us were glad when she returned.
In 1997, Celeste too published "Virt uous Reality," an 8,000-word story attacking would-be censors of Internet erotica. The major characters were SueNH, one of the outset women sex-story writers on the Cyberspace, and Celeste herself. Sandman'due south review of this story is at http://www.asstr.org/~BitBard/library/celeste/ R511.HTM.
Anyone interested in learning more than about Celeste would practise well to begin by reading her at http://www.asstr.org/files/FAQs_a nd_Information/Celestial_FAQ_3.0.txt. The next thing to do would be to read some of her reviews; many of them are interesting in themselves. Sometimes she devoted about of her review to a discussion of what she herself would exercise if put in the position of the characters in the story; that usually irked the author concerned--it certainly did me--merely information technology also gave u.s.a. all more than insight into the world of this powerful woman.
She was between forty and fifty years old; she taught English language; she had children, and went to PTA meetings. She had a husband she seemed to similar, and was monogamous.
Rui Jorge asked me to write this, and I call up he chose well, merely considering I neither loved nor hated Celeste-- she was there. She retired when family unit concerns began to require more than of her time. Like all bully women, she had her admirers and her detractors; not everything she did pleased everybody; she probably made some errors. Make no mistake, however--other reviewers have come and gone, some very good and some incompetent, but information technology volition take a long time for anyone to prove a worthy successor to Celeste. This was the Queen of ASS, and she earned her crown.--Jane Urquhart
*** *** ***
She maybe contributed more than to the Ass* community than anyone else ever has. She *definitely* was the nigh widely read person in ASS*, though she may not accept posted a unmarried story. From July, 1995, until December, 2000--380 issues worth--the Angelic Reviews were there. And often awaited with bang-up trepidation. "Will Celeste review my story? Volition she like it?"
Ask whatever of the writers who received 10,10,10 from Celeste if they valued that--perhaps a very few didn't, just most were thrilled. Inquire those of us who came on the scene and wanted to find something good to read. Many of the states will say, "I read the Celestial Reviews and looked up the stories which sounded skilful." *I* certainly did.
Celeste was far more than 'just' a reviewer though--she helped many writers improve. She wrote and posted two of the best grammar/usage pieces I've ever seen. Articulate, to the bespeak-- and in linguistic communication advisable to ASS*. Celestial Grammar and Advanced Celestial Grammar were by no means her but remarks on the affair though. Specially in the outset couple of years, she put many a mini-tutorial on this point or that in the Reviews.
Even those who disliked her and/or her reviews should be well-aware of the result she had. I saw many, many threads begin with an event of the CR--and these threads frequently went on and on. Sometimes 'fluff'--but more often, they discussed matters pertinent to writing.--Denny Wheeler
*** *** ***
I was one of Celeste's kickoff victims, reviewed several times in those first editions of the Angelic Reviews. Fortunately, those stories have all been lost in the winds of internet-fourth dimension. In those days, skilful Ass writing was by far the exception, and the complete domination of poor writing led many of usa to take the forum equally being anything but serious. Why bother worrying about the quality of your story when no one else was? Hack information technology out and try again.
That, for me, was where Celeste made the biggest difference. In this pit of hot & horny readers who actually only cared if the story turned them on, Celeste arose and told united states of america that she, at least, did care if our participles were dangling and our climaxes resolved our conflicts. And the fact that a hundred readers might have told usa we were fucking awesome didn't salvage us the shame of being told in public that our writing really and truly sucked. Celeste took united states seriously when nosotros did not and in doing so created a standard, a literary standard, for ASS erotic writing. Some of the writers took mind to her call, ascent to the challenge she created. Her persistent commentary on the writing of Donkey transformed information technology into a quasi-serious forum for a growing customs of writers. And given the flak she took for her efforts, she should as well be commended for her bravery. Writers can be such nasty beasts when someone picks on their work.
As with all critics, we often took exception to the subjective qualities and philosophy of her criticisms. Just even those of united states who largely ignored her reviews were affected by them, for as the quality of the writing improved due to her prodding, we were forced to take ourselves more and more than seriously. The readers grew to look more from us, and the writers expected more from each other. In that location is no question that others contributed strongly to the rise of this community (a bow to Lady Cyrrh, who had an equally influential role in our development) but for about of us Celeste was the ringmaster, cruelly flogging us into new and greater heights.
Celeste, I salute you.--Malinov
Dark Dreamer
"Dark Dreamer wrote stories for A.S.S. back in the early nineties and, unfortunately, hasn't been seen since. You lot'll discover his classics such every bit ' Farm Girl ' and ' The Junkyard Family ' all over the internet, especially on whatsoever site that prides itself in violent fantasies... which isn't to say DD only wrote such stories. When he did, still, he was able to make the victim's plight realistic, yet at the same fourth dimension arousing. He wrote in a very crude, blunt manner but his stories were told well and never failed to satisfy. To all of us who still enjoy your writings to this day, Nighttime Dreamer, thanks!" --S. Bockman
deirdre
Deirdre wrote something like 150 or more stories, and by that feat alone, I call back she should be in the Hall of Fame. The stories covered all topics, many codes, most kinks and squicks. They were always well written, and ofttimes concluded with interesting twists. Frequently, the characters got themselves into the oddest situations, some coercion they just couldn't help, and they traveled farther and farther downward the slippery slope. The stories were normally sexy, although the build-upwards often led to something that occured after the story was over. Deirdre could write nigh women or men, same sex activity or hetero, or interesting combinations thereof. She was willing to try her hand at nigh whatsoever type of story, and did a superb chore. In that location was a list of her stories once, and I went searching them all out until I had read them all. Every one time in a while, I'll meet i and read a flake, smiling or grimacing as I call back what the characters in the story had to get through. "Oh yep, that was a good one." Her stories may be found at &q uot;Deirdre's Bibliography" page at Bitbard'due south site, or at her FTP site. --BlueWords (David)
Delta
Delta appear retirement in August of 2001
I would like to bring to your attention the artist known as Delta. Some of Delta's work may be found at Stories Online, I've found more at Delta' s FTP site. The dazzler of Delta'south stories, many of them, is that they characteristic characters who accept a realistic, even fatalistic grasp of the world. They run into the dirt, the workaday existance, the drab outside and shabby furnishings. And despite this, some small part of their souls lifts them in a higher place, even if only for a moment. Some pocket-size deed of kindness with no expectation of render; some act of charity despite cynicism; some tenderness when the first impulse is indifference turns these people into heroes. And sometimes they are rewarded. Delta didn't exactly write romance - Delta wrote romantically. Delta's stories take captured a fleck of my heart. I consider Delta a must-read. (Start with the taxi stories.) --Gary
Dulcinea
Dulcinea began posting in June 1995. Her many stories were all brusk, MF rom pieces near devoted couples, full of playful banter and with a wholesome feeling. While engaged in a project to write a story for every letter of the alphabet (reaching the letter of the alphabet F), she died in the center of 1997. Her stories are a delight to read.--Apuleius of Madaura
*** *** ***
Dulcinea had a simple style; svelte, 18-carat, cheery and unassuming; and information technology fit her sweet stories perfectly. She wrote of ordinary people, couples who could be your neighbors, and of the delights, pleasures, goodness and modest surprises they discover in each other and in sex. The plots contain sometimes some tease or twist, but invariably one that works towards elation or at least happiness. My favorite Dulcinea story is "Helping Manus," which may be found at http://www.asstr.org/~BitBard/forray/dulcinea /manus.html. Near of her stories may be found at & quot;Dulcinea'southward Bibliography" folio at Bitbard's site --Mat Twassel
Eli the Bearded
For several years Eli moderated ASSM as a labor of love, and he occasionally wrote witty little stories. That grouping was in many means the heart of the customs, a place where we could post stories of whatsoever length but past mailing them to Eli, and could read stories without being bothered by spam. We took ASSM and Eli for granted, and groused when something didn't go right. Only nosotros who used the fruits of his labors owe him a bully bargain. --Jane Urquhart
Eros
Eros was a long time and prolific author of erotic stories, starting in the Bulletin board system era with the "Blue Moon" Bulletin board system and continuing on upwards until he ran afoul of the Australian authorities in 1998. In between, Eros authored better than 50+ tales, most all of them involving some sort of a happy, loving family--and I exercise mean loving. It was not unusual for i of his stories to characteristic a pair of horny teenage brothers, an fifty-fifty hornier sister, and a alone Mom in the center of information technology all. I know it sounds formalistic, just he had the brio (and the writing skills) to pull the reader into this world. Yet, what really set him apart from others working the genre (and from every other author as well) was his approach to sex. Eros understood, at a gut level, what erotic fantasy was near, and for pure, unadulterated, lusty, joyous, unapologetically pornograpic sex Eros is unmatched. Read i of his stories and then tell me yous didn't get aroused, I cartel 'ya.--Stephen
Estragon
Mat Twassel, Chairman of the Boards, knowing of my admiration, has suggested I might want to nominate Estragon for the Donkey Hall of Fame. The which, now that I've heard that there is such a place, I'k delighted to do.
Estragon wrote the following about his piece of work in 1997, when I was still unsuccessfully urging him to go above basis into print and gain the fame (and notoriety) he'd earned.
The Estragon Stories are dedicated to a single theme: the happiness that comes to both sexes when they take the full-time domination of men by women. I am convinced that, in the man species in any case, the evolution of our bodies and our minds has given about every advantage to women. Their power over united states of america men is built into our genetic code, even if it'south sometimes obscured by civilisation's gender lawmaking - that crumbling rampart of self-protection we lads have shored up over the years to brand ourselves and those lovely beings who have little selection but to associate with the states miserable. The Estragon Stories depict the elation and vast relief of men rescued from the myth of male superiority by women who have learned or are in the process of learning that men were built-in to serve them. my characters are not theatrical; they're non into "role- playing," and sex is not a fantasy-realm for them from which they walk away when the lights go up. The women in my stories are the women I know: self-possessed, talented, stylish. They bask their power over men just aren't obsessed with information technology. Information technology comes to them naturally and they more often than not feel its do as a casual fact of life, though sometimes, every bit in the real world, a shadow of uncertainty crosses their minds. I am also interested in the fashion such women happen in this man's world, in the things that do or don't occur in girlhood to give them their beautiful strength. As for my men - more than retentivity than imagination goes into their cosmos. "My life," as the song says, "is expert."
I myself (Vickie) wrote the paragraph on Estragon immmediately below for OleJoe's Guide, several years ago when Estragon and I could nonetheless delight each other with obscure plays on phrases used past 16th century poets or modern wits, as incorporated into our stories. Information technology remains true that for literacy and respect for the language, for bemused, ruefully ironic exploration of the absurdities of human desire, above all for rapt philosophical and psychological exploration of male sexual submission and female domination (as often equally not to precocious teenage girls), Estragon has never been surpassed. My own teen domme "JayCee" was modeled on Estragon's several cleverer and more insouciant immature heroines.
ESTRAGON is a meticulous stylist for whom femdom is very nearly a faith Male subjection or worship especially of young women is a deep natural instinct in men and boys, he believes, and a privilege some women grant some men, accordingly testing their willingness to endure pain and humiliation. Well-nigh of his stories are long on philosophic exploration of the miracle and short on activity, but they can accept an analytic intensity which is crawly (equally in "I Meet Toni'south Mom," or "Travels with Aunt Paula") or hilarious (as in "I Learn to Think" and the earlier "War Games"). Estragon died February 12, 1998.
Addendum (still Vickie): He was still writing a few days earlier he died ("Pommel Horse," "Way's Slave," both unfinished) doing what he loved doing. His work was collected by the femdom writer Mule shortly before his decease and placed on Mule'south Webpage, where it may still exist. He was gratified that Celeste respected his literacy and intendance and usually awarded his stories straight 10s. When he received scores any lower he was miserable despite himself, despite knowing that Celeste was a cheerfully unsophisticated amateur critic and he was himself an established professional.
His writing brought extraordinary nobility, strength, wit, intelligence, and respectability to erotic fiction -- especially to femdom -- in the unruly early on days of the Cyberspace. In that way he fabricated our work much easier. One time someone like Estragon has written, those who want to call what we do "trash" stand self-condemned past their ain ignorance. --Vickie Tern
Jack of All Trades
I nominate Jack of All Trades for the ASSTR Hall of Fame. He ceased to write more a yr ago, is now incommunicado and I am informed that he shall not render. Jack was an intelligent writer, and a good and popular one just I believe that his claim, as a writer, for being in the ASSTR Hall of Fame rests on being one of ASS*'s great romantics (although his stories sometimes take a dark plough), and on beingness a master of the sexual activity scene.
Jack was also an innovator and organiser inside the community, concerned with raising the standard of writing appearing on Ass*. He formed a working partnership, which grew into friendship, with his formidable editor, Ruthie.
This fruitful relationship led to the "Ruthie'southward Foursome," a co-operative writing exercise betwixt the iv Ass* authors edited by Ruthie. This, in turn, was a stepping stone to a community outgrowth, a further level to which top Ass* writers might aspire: Jack, with Ruthie and the other members of her Foursome, was instrumental in establishing Ruthie's Club (www.ruthiesclub.com), a commercial spider web-site offering illustrated adult fiction. His last story, "The Adventures of Cody Wellbaugh, Professional Cowboy" was written for Ruthie's Society. Jack'south stories are ancestral to Ruthie'southward Club and are archived there. -- Father Ignatius
Katie McN
Katie was, and is, a specially practiced friend of mine, and she asked me to write this entry for the Hall of Fame. I was glad to do so, having had hours of enjoyment from her stories <thousand> and the pleasure of her company online from the time she commencement appeared.
Katie McN wrote 44 stories in her ii years of writing. In her first yr (2000) she won Best Newcomer in the Clitorides Awards (awards for writing voted on by readers and other authors) and in her second year (2001) she won the Accolade for Best Author.
She wrote one-off stories and series, covering a wide range of themes, and did all of them well. Her Mary Kay and Mallory stories were particularly good examples of Lesbian Romance and were worth awards on their own. She was as well a person with a skillful sense of humor and a fair number of her stories were parodies, lampooning particular genres, and managing to make the reader both express joy, and get aroused, at the same time.
All in all, Katie was a woman proud of being a lesbian, and proud of her ability to write. And, that, she had in abundance. Losing her creativity and humor is a loss indeed, and ASSM and the Archives at ASSTR will be poorer for not having whatever more Katie stories.
And then, thank you Katie for a wonderful two years worth of writing. And if you oasis't read her stories yet, practice so now, and accept a banquet. -- Hecate
Kim (aka Ghost ex Machina)
Her stories varied tremendously in quality, and some of them were very good, but what I remember most about her was her free energy. For a long time she kept ASSD a very lively place. She and then oft shot from the hip and apologized near immediately that some of us felt deprived when she hadn't insulted somebody for a few days. Some people chosen her the "Queen of ASSD," which irritated others no end. She made nearly everybody angry at one fourth dimension or another, just everybody knew she was at that place, whether they liked her or not. She was a presence. --Jane Urquhart
*** *** ***
Speaking purely well-nigh Kim'due south story telling abilities, I establish her to be one of the most adventurous writers around. There was a period when most everything she wrote was a three tenner from Celeste. She even scored an A+ from Lady Cyrrh. Not many could write to please both camps. Her writings varied from straight 'stroke' to deeply moving love stories, from chilling drama to strange, almost experimental pieces. Above all at that place was an energy in that location. Behind the words, even at their most challenging, you could come across an infectious smile. She made me express joy, she made me wince, and more once she made me weep. She was besides one of the very best guest reviewers Celeste always had. She was a one of a kind, and I miss her. -- Tom (of Tom, Dick and Harry)
Losgud
Incest was Losgud's master theme. Few take handled that bailiwick with Losgu'ds combination of grace, humor, and skillful-natured sexiness. 1 of Losgud's great talents was his ability to give us a narrator with whom we could identify fifty-fifty if in existent life we'd never find our relatives or wife'due south relatives of the slightest sexual involvement. A typical Losgud story manages to mix the comic with the serious, the wild with the ordinary, lust and desire with dear and loveliness, invariably to brilliant and entertaining result. Losgud's world is generally a good place. I miss his brand of story and storytelling.
You can detect Losgud's stories by doing a Google search for "Losgud" on "alt.sex.stories.chastened." --Mat Twassel
Maria Gonzales
I am speaking of the "missed" Maria Gonzales . . . Missed past those of us who knew and retrieve her, of course.
Equally for specific qualifications for the Hall, she has washed the following:
If she did not initially "propose" she was instrumental in the institution and assisted greatly in the running of "The Fantasy Train" and her site has been it'due south permanent home since the "orgy" was run in 1999.
It was she who proposed and originally "ran" the Golden Clitoride contest whic and so many of u.s.a. authors strive to win (or at least be nominated for).
She is the author of 20+ stories of her own including (only not limited to):
"The Famous Donkey Daughter of Tijuana"
"The Packet"
"Witches"
"The Sale - Lisette'southward Story"
and - of course -
"Dr. Rui's Astonishing Dear Potion in a Tin"
A long standing participant in ASSD, a staunch supporter and rooting section of/for new writers and a long continuing supported and cheerleader for ASSTR itself, I believe she deserves a place within the hallowed halls of our recognized compatriots . . .
For any of you who are not familiar with any of the stories I have mentioned - or (the stars foreclose) The Fantasy Train itself . . . everything can be plant on her site inside the author's directory at:
http://www.asstr.org/~MariaGonzales/
Relish the reading - I did when nearly were written and accept since . . . --Ray
Mary Anne Mohanraj
Mary Anne Mohanraj's stories are uniformly excellent. Her work covers a wide diversity of situations and subjects, from masturbation ("Only Reading News," "A Jewel of a Adult female") to arranged marriages ("Season of Spousal relationship," "The Devouring Night") to BDSM ("Attraction," "Blind," "Mistress Molly") to encounters with the divine ("Diana," "Plume"), but all of it is marked by skillful label and elegant use of the English language. She is likewise a talented poet.
While no longer active on Ass, Mary Anne maintains an extensive website . Mary Anne is one of the very few online writers to accept published a volume of her work. (The book, "Torn Shapes of Desire," is available from Amazon.com, but it may be out of print soon. I highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed her stories, as information technology contains several that are not available on the spider web.) A pioneer in the field of Internet erotica, Mary Anne is the founder and moderator of the Net Erotica Writers' Workshop, and editor of Clean Sheets , an online erotica mag.
I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mary Anne in existent life during the 1998 Earth Science Fiction convention, and I found that she is as as thoughtful, funny, and charming in person as her writing would suggest. -----Jacques Leblanc
M1ke Hunt
Many people thought his stories were the all-time combinations of humour and sexiness ever posted on ASSM. He also wrote one or 2 very serious stories that were masterpieces. Not everybody would concur, just I retrieve he was a great writer. For me personally, he was also a great inspiration, though he was gone before I came aboard equally a author. His stories tin can be found on Bit Bard's Library--Jane Urquhart
Miss Behavin
For nearly 3 years, Miss Behavin' wrote some of the very best sexual activity stories, nearly of which are MF romances. Although Miss Behavin' wrote stories with plots larger than just the sex, her sexual activity scenes were hot and erotic. Nevertheless, her talent shined through most in her ability to write characters and plots worth caring for. Her characters seemed existent to me, and I cared what happened to them equally I read her stories. Her stories touched me very deeply, and I'k grateful I had the opportunity to read them--and even to assist polish some of them through proofreading. -- John R.
Ole Joe
Not a writer at all, he was an archivist extraordinaire . Some us even so have the final edition of his voluminous list of writers and their stories. If yous wanted to know who wrote what, his list was the place to go. He performed a very valuable service.--Jane Urquhart
Parker
Parker was a prolific writer from 1993 to 1996, when, for reasons known merely to him, he chose to terminate his career as a writer of erotic stories. To my knowledge he has written more than thirty works ranging from brusk to medium- sized stories, including a full-length novel. In his own words, he wrote almost "blackmail, humiliation, semi-consensual sex, D&S and all that sort of bad stuff." He also made a signal of alert the reader nigh his lack of political definiteness. His magnum opus, "Stacy's Senior Twelvemonth," stands every bit testimony to his talent. Imitated by many, equaled past few, surpassed by none, Parker was, just put, a master of the trade.--Robin Lovejoy
Pred
Open the lexicon to the word 'iconoclast' and y'all'll encounter a picture of Pred. He used his infrequent talents to shock and disturb readers in many categories of porn. It is hard to imagine that he missed a single squick with his wonderful stories. Some people took him seriously and for them he was serious threat. Others realized that he was making fun of all the things others held sacred and nosotros laughed with every new postal service. I tin can't say what his best story might be. They all have qualities that prepare them apart. Tiny Toy probably more any other highlights his skill in raising emotions with a well written story. --Katie McN
Steve Jensen
For years, Steve wrote out of (I believe) Rustie and Edie's Bulletin board system. And so, when for a while the laws seemed to become sticky, and before the Cyberspace opened up fully (effectually the fourth dimension of the first CDA, I call back) he dropped out of sight, and nobody has heard from him since. If you liked consensual pedo stories (OK, so many don't) then his were some of the best; specially for the times. Fifty-fifty now, five or six years after, you withal get requests for reposts. His "Brittany 3" story ("Amanda'due south Conquest"), I still charge per unit every bit one of the most erotic "little girl" stories of all time.--Frank McCoy

Steve Jensen is another author whose stories were found mainly on BBSs. Steve wrote generally about sibling incest, but unlike others his tales usually had a a darker edge to them. Frequently, it was the girl who had the upper hand over the guy. The "Brittany" serial was my introduction to incest stories, and to this day they remain among my favorites. --Stephen
Tammy and Deidre Ng
Tammy and Deidre Ng (aka the Sisters Ng) were quite active at one time, and often wrote their stories as letters to each other. A few times, Backrub joined them for a threesome. Deidre has appeared and posted a new (or sometime) story once in a blue moon. I believe that their email address is still valid. --Daphne Xu
Taria
She only was ane of the greatest writers this community has e'er seen. She was rather shy, though she was sometimes boisterous, and she was in a few very big fights that took place before my fourth dimension, but all that pales into insignificance when one looks at her stories. Many people think "Fine art Appreciation" was her best; I am nigh taken past the tremendous emotional realism in "Power and the Discussion;" her last major story, "Ane O'clock Jump," is another masterpiece. Her stories may be found at "Taria's Bibliography" page at Bitbard'due south site. -- Jane Urquhart
Tom Bombadil
Tom Bombadil was 1 of the all-time authors around here, with a wide variety of topics. If you oasis't read his novels "Brenda - A Beloved Story" and "Elizabeth and Anastasia", and then go look them upward. He too wrote at least 20 short stories, some very moving with no sex activity at all, some sexy and foreign or funny. His stories can be found at " Tom Bombadil's Bibliography" folio at Bitbard's site. --MT Head
Walter Slaven
Walter Slaven wrote the erotic fantasy story entitled "Tie Fighter," gear up in the Star Wars universe. Well written, with in-depth graphic symbol development and a lengthy plot line, his story enthralls the reader. Slaven patently is not a prolific writer-- "Necktie Fighter"is his only erotic work as far equally I know--but he makes up for this with a 'must read' story that I highly recommend to anybody. The story tin exist constitute at this search results page in the ASSM Archive --Wlliam Reed
Wollstonecraft
Episodic stories about ecstatic sexual awakenings disguised as stories most women forced and/or tricked into becoming significant. Ze* wrote in a coy romance-novel style distinguished by its clinical-but-poetic sexual descriptions and strong sense of irony. Hir all-time story was "Tales of the Seeding," virtually an unnamed and undescribed archaic order that has reduced sex to a series of passionless rituals used in the service of procreation. I was particularly impressed by hir assured use of multiple viewpoints, something that is difficult to do well in a short story. All of hir stories can be found at Bitbard'south web site. -- Christine "Light-green Leafy Dragon" Indigo
