And thus begins the week of en-thrall-ment!

Hello everyone, and welcome to thrall week on the Kistublot!

The timing couldn't be more fitting, as according to her own blog, she's been reworking some of her classics. In fact, she's already reworked my personal favorite! I haven't yet read over her new version - but I intend to soon as I can find some time with my head not swimming in sicky dizzyness.

If you didn't already look, the main page has an update under my reading suggestions. Give those a look! Here, I think I'll give them all three a deeper delving. Wednesday I will go into some other stories, and I think I'll end the week with her collaborative efforts. Only fitting, no?

So, first up . . .

Willing Subject

I remember finding this story when I was first getting into the archive. I had yet to develop a discerning taste, but I knew what I liked and I loved this story. I read through this one quick as I can and savored each and every hot little detail, but now I prefer to reread it slowly and savor each and every little scene.

Missy's transformation from kinky college girl to helpless little toy is so savoring. There's no jarring moments, only a slow sweet spiral. In fact, the use of spiral imagery in this story is something I always remember. The use of a classic black and white spiral changing from one solid color slowly to the other is one of the strongest images I've read in any MC story, and I savor it.

Not only is her transformation sizzling, but it shows perfectly the way that thrall does dehumanization. The loss of self, of self concern, of self control, of everything but obedience, becomes so sizzlingly erotic. Her pure desire to lose everything so completely is so overwhelming, strong enough to flow out and over the reader.

Even when she realizes things are illusions, she savors them for that, and their strength over her. Every time that I read the story, I press my teeth together and indulge in a little fantasy of them being trapped like that. Read the story to know just what I mean.

It even uses the location from the trilby else story Dark Forest to aid in our heroine's transformation... so deliciously, too. If you haven't read this, read it now, then read the revision!

A Tenpack of Trixies

Another absolutely sizzling story, Tenpack gives us a glance into a not-so-distant future where criminals are remade into slaves, dolls, for the use of others. There's other details (and honestly, I need a reread to do this story justice but I want to get this post out tonight) about their world, but that's all you need. A woman went missing, and now ten dolls have shown up, and one of them might be her . . . and hell hath no twisted sense of humor like a Domme scorned.

The dehumanization here also happens in reverse. Objects becomming more human - though they were rather human to begin with, and theres a hot yummy dose of tables turning.

The real delightful edge of this story is when it changes into a struggle between those who've kept their minds, and those compromised into pure obedience. I won't ruin anything more, but you really ought to give it a glance over!

Mirrored in Your Eyes

thrall surprizes all of us - or at least me - by writing one of the most romantic mc stories on the site. Another alternate world is shown here, one where it is the norm to decide to become either a dominant, or a completely helpless submissive. There are packs of "norms" but they're the exception and by no means the rule.

In this world, you don't ever need to be dominant . . . but everyone must take a run as a helpless obedient thrall - body and mind altered, to be used by anyone and everyone.

Some are forever changed by this proccess, and become submissive when before they were so dominant - now that they see the perks in an obedient lifestyle. That fact weighs heavily on our protaganist after her time ends...

Read this. You don't know what you're missing if you don't.

thrall is a wonderful writer, giving us hot erotic heat, yummy mind control heat, and never writing a story that feels supurfulous or pointless. She writes stories that are gripping stories as well as wrist-ruining reads. Every time her name appears in the update, I squeal.

I imagine I'm not alone. More on wednesday.

Oh, good, Blogger is finally allowing me to comment from Ubuntu. <.< I have no idea what was causing that glitch across multiple browsers.

Yay for Kitties who have finally learned to update their blogs regularly! *coos* Yummy post, Sweetie.

Perhaps I should help you experience that melted teeth-clenching fantasy, some time . . . *purrrrs*
