Science Is a Shit Waste of Time

  ($5.99, part of an anthology) This short, first in this anthology, must be the longest considering it's a third of the entire anthology. A medieval servant is (nearly) fucked by a dude, and gets sentenced to get publicly fucked by an alien for her lord's entertainment. [Universal Purchase Link] HARD dubcon. Which I expected it to be by the blurb, but I read it anyway despite disliking dubcon. It's well-written and honestly I still read it despite it making me super uncomfy because I'd gotten attached to this plotline and the sex is important to the plotline. In fact, this story is like, 95% sex by volume. I probably won't be reading the rest because wow am I a fragile man when it comes to dubcon, but I don't exactly regret reading this, and again, it's really well-written and drafted- Paragonas Vaunt is quite the wordsmith!

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A man gets sold out by his shitty ballet company to be the companion of an otherworldly sugar plum fairy. [Purchase Link] Lots of dialogue and well-built characters. I can appreciate when I can tell who is talking even if there names aren't attached to the dialogue (which is useful since there was a spot where the paragraphs were separated so that it sounded like a different person was talking). But I didn't really care for the characters or the chemistry they brought, as well-written as they were. Felt less like fireworks and more like "well, I'll hook up with you, I guess, kinda bored anyway." I know that's rich coming from me since I wrote that exact plot in What the Weretiger Wants, but I want to be clear that this is NOT a dig at the quality of the work. The work is fine, just not my thing. I  don't always write stuff that isn't my thing, which is why What the Weretiger Wants is also "I'm bored. Let's fuck...

  ($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) The queen of succubi has been freed from her Nowhere Jail where she then kills a bunch of dudes via sex and definitely enslaves a woman that she insists is not a slave [purchase link] This one is interesting because despite being like 50% sex, it reads less like an erotica and more as a plot-driven story. It also takes a first person route of a top, which I appreciate because you just don't see that very much. Giving this the purchased tag because of the totally-a-slave woman, even though she isn't purchased. Giving this the consensual tag because it reads as consensual, but, well. Slave woman.

    A short erotic short about a man tied up in a swamp getting fucked by a weregator. Don't worry, despite the way the start of the story sounds, there's no incest or noncon in this work (or do worry, if you're into that stuff) [Purchase Link]
