Recommendation Meme
15 years ago
After the Duty post I had a thought. Part of what makes our situations o difficult is that finding good things to read is hard. Stories are spread across the 'net, and you have to comb through a lot of junk. You either stumble across the good stuff, or you just follow authors you know are good.
So I have an idea, a meme in fact, to share quality stories with one another. Or at least stories that we have liked. These are all porn - alas - but I feel at least they're worth a look.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Post in your journal a recommendation of three stories. Something that's an old favorite, something that you've recently read, and something that's just plain cool. You cannot recommend one of your own stories.
The Old: The Eye of Aphisis. A story about two thieves who try to steal an artifact of the Goddess of Pleasure. This story is very Conan-esque fantasy, and remains very cool.
The New: What happens when you realize the world is changing - and you're the only one who notices? Rikoshi's "The Stars are Wrong" has been transcribed into a two part podcast.
The Just Cool: Checking In. What would happen if GlaDOS had control of straight jackets and dildos? That's not quite the premise of this story, but close: A sophisticated AI running an Asylum captures a girl and provides her with an.. entertaining time. A bonus, it's a very short story - just about 4K words.

The meme just calls for three recommendations. However, I wanted to share quiet a bit more of the stories I've liked for a long time.
Placating the Skipper. The reason this story stands out to me is that it's dealing with an alien species. So we not only get a bit of alien behavior from what the narrator is familiar with, but most importantly to me, the language translator really shows something that feels alien. Or at least foreign. The language syntax, the meaning is all messed up, and it really does feel like the narrator is interacting with something unique.
Before there was Yiffstar and FA, there was Mia's Story Index, and Furry Pleasures. The latter died around 2003, and the former is so old and defunct as stories lose their host server and the links thus die. Several stories I wanted to share are thus gone, but I managed to find most of the ones I wanted to share. In truth it's been so long since I read these stories that some might not be as good as I remember, but I still think it worth recommending. These are ancient in internet terms gentlemen, we're talking about classics literature of furry smut!
Allen Kitchen wrote some nice contemporary kitsune stories. While sexy, they are more plot focused. I only discovered that he had written more than two, having turned it into a series. You can find the Tutor Has Six Tails series here; go to Furry Series on the left hand side and scroll down. I actually will have to glance at the rest of his stuff.
Heavenly Bodies is a story about a man who gets abducted by sexy female wolf aliens. It's well written for being smut smut smut. The author has done other stories which I have liked, but they've disappeared off the web it seems.
A Nudge in the Right D'Erection well written for smut, primarily for the narrator and the situation. Sex with the boss's wife at the company picnic? Oh ho.
A Dog and her Bone is the first furry story I ever read, at around the age of 14. So I have a little place in my heart for it. A German shepardess attempts to hunt down a fox, and sexy hijinx ensue.
Night Swimming is a sweet, romantic story about two lovers meeting up after a long time.
When you are trapped on a space station with a tigress in heat, you get Promises and Desires.
Cabin Fever isn't bad. A threesome.

I remember many of those; I'd forgotten entirely about Eye of Aphisis and Heavenly Bodies, but I liked both back in the day. And Placating the Skipper is excellent! The syntax is a big part in the alienness, you're correct about that.
And... I wonder if A Dog and Her Bone isn't the first furry smut piece I've read, too!
