Hmmm... what trilby else to write about . . .

Lately I have been awful with this, and I apologize. Not just lately, but since its creation.

Recently my fellow Midasverse contributor J Darksong sent me an email telling me I really don't need to post about anything important. Just more often would be nice. So, I'm going to try to force myself to a vague schedule. I had tried before, but when I found that reviewing updates for awhile would have consisted of "nothing worth reading" or another rant about how I'd like some literature to go with my mc fanservice, that got distorted.

Also, this weekend I WILL update my recomended reading, as I will once a week. I'm sure it won't be hard, and if it ever becomes so I'll start just adding obvious stories and going on about why!

I'll start this post though, by mentioning that I've been reading a little bit of the unread portion of one of my favorite MC writers, trilby else. For awhile, I have to admit, I had to take a break from his work. He writes great MC, and shares the feeling that copious ammounts of sex is dull. Copious ammounts of MC is where it's at!

I've never had a problem with his quality, or his style - merely that too much of his work can have a repetative feeling to it. Each story taken on it's own? Amazing. Awesome. Thigh clenching. All of them taken together right at once? The first set will feel awesome, and over time, you might start to feel frustrated at each prostitute metaphor that at first fit its use perfectly.

Every writer is writing themselves out onto the page. Not that he is an evil lesbian mc conspiracy - but every writer pours a part of themselves into their writing unless they're writing formula as oringly as can be - and even then some if themselves will peek through. With my writing, I've found that incestuous relationships, and comming to terms with one's taboo side are things that permiate my writing. I'm sure there are others. There have to be.

Still, not about me! Just going into my own side of this to show my own lack of immunity to such things. Still, even with that, I always come back. With the exception of one story, every one I've actually started (many were tabs in firefox that fell the wayside with a reset or a crash) I've savored. I havent touched on them all yet, but that's just a matter of time.

trilby often uses real forms of mind control, such as hypnosis, drug aided or not, and obeys their limitations. Characters will not be drooling slaves after a single trance. A night of backed up suggestions? They'll be pretty messed up, but even then, it's not unlimited. But at the same time, you don't have any "deep yearlong mc is beaten by a single tear from a lover" going on. There's just a variation in strength you don't seen in all - or most - MC. Usually, it's all or nothing, or level varying depending on the story. An alien laser should be stronger than hypnosis, unless not properly configured.

One aspect of his use of hypnosis is one I adore pointing out for its eroticedge, and for its warning one. Hypnosis can't make you do something you don't want to do, but it can make you want something. Then what?

Women betraying eachother and getting off on it, serial recruitment, long drawn out conditioning, resistence, even the story here and there where MC is overcome . . . that's how awesome trilby's writing is.

I'll go into more specific pieces soon.
