New Erotic Short - Sandwiched by Slimes

Finally (it's only a couple of weeks late) the second short in the Sandwiched by series is up.  It's not exactly short either.  I got a little carried away and there's over 10K words of slimy fun (for the slime girls, not necessarily their prey ;) ) in this one.

http://www.amazon.com/Sandwiched-Slimes-M-E-Hydra-ebook/dp/B00U89AYEK/ref=la_B00IXOF1I6_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425466412&sr=1-8

It's available for the cheap price of $0.99 from:
Amazon
Smashwords (which will distribute it to other sites)
Kobo

Here's the blurb:


Sandwiched by is a new sexy series of monster girl erotic horror shorts from the master of dark erotica, M.E. Hydra.  This, the second story, “Sandwiched by Slimes”, sees a man engulfed in ecstasy by two sexy slime girls.

Freddy Lamb used to be a normal engineering student like any other.  Now he’s Sir Fredrick of Lamb, a brave adventurer tasked with deposing the villainous sorcerer king of a strange world that resembles a computer role-playing game.  In reality he’d rather escape this crazy computer game world and find a way back home to Earth.  He thinks the exit may lie in an unusual bonus dungeon, but blocking his path are two sexy slime girls, Corybosom and Rubisia.  They intend to envelop him in their gelatinous bodies and melt all his resistance away with pleasure.  They also don’t intend playing by the rules . . .

Sandwiched by.  One dude, two sexy babes.  A perfect fantasy . . . or maybe not . . .


And of course I couldn't leave it there without providing a little snippet to get the blood going:


“Is this a hentai dungeon?” he asked the two slime girls.

They looked as though they didn’t understand his question.  Freddy thought they were pretending.

“I mean, is this a sex dungeon?” he elaborated.

The slime girls’ eyes lit up at the mention of sex.

“We do like sex,” Corybosom said.

“We’re succubus slimes,” Rubisia said.  “It’s what we feed on.”

“Mmm yes.  We like nothing better than slurping all the cum out of a virile man’s body,” Corybosom said.

Freddy blushed.  That confirmed his suspicions at least.  Normal RPGs didn’t go near sex apart from the mildest of innuendo.  But there was a type—a more specialized niche—of RPGs where sex was integral to both the art and gameplay.  Those games were made only in Japan as far as he knew and were most definitely for adults only.

“I know what this is,” he said.  “It’s battlefuck rules.”

The two slime girls pretended not to understand.

“We don’t fight with weapons in here,” Freddy said.  “We fight with sex.”

“This is a sex-themed dungeon,” Rubisia said.

Freddy smiled.  He’d figured it out.  Battlefuck rules.  He didn’t know those games very well, but he’d heard of them.  He thought back to the shop owner who’d sold him the map.  He’d thought the queer leer on the other man’s face was a little odd at the time.  Pervy fucker.  He knew exactly what this dungeon was about.

“So how does this work?  The victor is the one that makes the other come first?” he asked.

“Something like that,” Corybosom said.

She gathered the gelatinous substance of her body together into a big round cushion.  She sat back on it and opened her legs.  Staring directly at Freddy, she reached down between her legs and parted her labia with her fingers.

Freddy took off the armour protecting his legs and removed his undergarments.  His erection popped up and stood out from his crotch.  That’s what no sex at all since arriving on this freaky world did to you, he thought.  Even sentient giant gelatinous blobs started to look sexy after that long.

Corybosom beckoned him on with a finger.  She pouted plump, kissable lips.

Time to see if his theory was correct then, Freddy thought.  He stepped up between her legs.  He put his hands on her hips.  They felt moist and elastic like jelly.  He aimed his cock in the direction of her gaping sex and pushed forwards with his hips.  Corybosom’s head went back and she gave a little “ooh” of pleasure as he entered her.

don’t melt my dick off.  don’t melt my dick off.

She didn’t melt his dick off.  He didn’t feel any acidy burning sensation.  She wasn’t cold and snot-like either.  Instead she felt warm inside and the jellylike substance of her body pressed pleasantly against his erection.  A muscular swell of thicker jelly rolled down his shaft and sucked him deeper into her.

“Mmm, I love the feel of a big hard cock inside me,” Corybosom said.

She crossed her legs behind him.  The rest of her amorphous mass rolled forwards and partially engulfed his legs.  That felt pleasant as well, like dipping his legs in a warm mud bath.  Looking down it was weird to see his cock through her transparent skin.  He could see his foreskin move back and forth as her semi-liquid insides rippled up and down his shaft in gentle tugs.

He lost two health points.

It was another quirk of this strange game world.  In the back of his mind he could see a full status screen representing him, complete with stats and current level.  It had appeared the moment he’d woken up in this universe.

The damage was okay.  Battlefuck rules were the same as normal RPG combat, but with all the normal attacks replaced with sex acts.  Losing two HP was nothing.  He had plenty left.

Now it was time for his ‘attack’.

He powered his hips forwards with his buttocks.  Corybosom sighed in pleasure as his cock sank deeper into her gelatinous form.

He lost two HP.

Huh, wait.  That couldn’t be right.

“How come I took damage?” he said.  “I thought this was a sex battle.  You know, both of us taking it in turns to make a sex attack.”

Corybosom looked up at him and smiled.  Mischief glimmered in her eyes.

“Oh yes, about that . . .”

The malleable jelly of her body rippled up his cock in a teasing suck that left his knees feeling like they’d been replaced by overcooked spaghetti.

“. . . we may have been a teensy bit remiss in not correcting a tiny little misunderstanding.”

“This isn’t a battlefuck dungeon?”

Freddy had that just-fallen-into-a-yawning-pit sensation he’d just made a massive booboo.


If the scenario sounds familiar, yes, this is the same universe as Jackson in HRPG-World.  This one's a little lighter and more fun than my usual stories.  If you like the dark stuff, don't worry, there are plenty of darker tales on the way in the next collection coming out in a couple of weeks.  (oh, so much darkness . . .)

I hope you all find "Sandwiched by Slimes" to be worth a dollar of your hard-earned money.  Please tell me what you think in the comments below.  Do you like Corybosom and Rubisia and would you like to see more of them?

Next up it's tentacle time as a lucky someone gets "Sandwiched by Scyllas".  I'll try to get it out before the end of the month this time!

Cover for "Sandwiched by Slimes"

You know that "Sandwiched by Slimes" short story . . .

It is on the way, honest.

The last week has been crazy hectic with sorting things out for the move as well as trying to make sure the next collection, A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day, is ready for . . . well . . . Saint Patrick's Day.  The hold up for "Sandwiched by Slimes" was trying to get a cover done.  I finally had a quiet moment today and:


Originally I wanted to vary the designs and have the "Slimes" and slime girls done in the traditional translucent blue.  Unfortunately my art skills are fairly mediocre and as it's already three weeks late, I went with the silhouettes instead.

I'm just on the final formatting and then the book will be uploaded to Amazon and other ebook retailers.  Check back here in a day or so and I'll have the full details.

Uh oh. Blogger have dropped the Prudehammer

Blogger have changed their Adult Content policy.  I (and many like me judging from the displeased mutterings on Twitter) received an email last night informing me of the changes.  Here they are . . .

https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/6170671?p=policy_update&hl=en&rd=1

. . . and yeah, they're not good, not good at all.  It looks like I'll have to pack my bags and find a new (online) home come March 23rd.

In theory I could comply, but it would mean deleting nearly every screenshot of every game I've written about and as I know a lot of you out there enjoy those posts, that's unacceptable to me.  Also in theory I could mark this blog as private going forward, but as the primary purpose of this blog is to publicise my books, it wouldn't be doing a good job of that if no bugger can find it.

With discussions like these it's impossible not to invoke the dreaded 'C' word.  Personally I think anyone using the hur derp, "It's only censorship if the government is involved," argument is a moron that isn't aware the world has moved on in the last century and a half.  I've argued before that if the end result is the same, people are going to use the closest word that fits.

Of course, against that we have to weigh up that Blogger is Google's platform and they are fully entitled to decide who or what goes on it.  It's disappointing that Google have taken this line, but it would also be churlish of me not to be grateful to them for giving me a nice set of tools to get my voice online essentially for free for the past five years.

I'd put this in the mild censorshit bracket - a damn nuisance, but not an oppressive gag as there are plenty of other alternatives.

Last night I purchased the manyeyedhydra.com domain.  It's about time.  I have a nice author page on Amazon, I might as well get a proper web address.  Currently it should redirect to this blog.  Next month I'll look at migrating to a new, more tolerant, online home.

I'd like to think we're moving to a future where companies will stop doing this as it will generate more bad publicity than good.  Sadly, until then, those of us working with adult material are a soft target and will have to continue to expect and work around arbitrary chilling effects.

Sandwiched by Slimes: You Choose the Ending

Yep, I totally got carried away on this one.  I blame it on the two slime girls having far too much fun playing with their food.  I'm currently over 8K words with possibly another 1-2K to go.  Other than the story being later than planned I'm happy with it going long rather than short.  You, the reader, will definitely get your 99c worth from this one (more so if you like slime girls and enjoyed stories like "Jackson in HRPG-World 3" and "A Real-Life Goo Girl").

Anyway, I'm coming up to the end and interestingly there are two paths I can take.  I could follow the route of a happy ending where the protagonist escapes or is let go from their sticky clutches (after being given many happy endings of the other kind).  Or I could take the other path to a sexy-but-terminal Bad End where the protagonist has their life and soul slurped out.  Oddly, I have no real preference.  When I first came up with the idea I leaned one way, but as I was writing the story I thought the other option might also work.

Then I had a mischievous idea.  Why not open it up to a little bit of audience participation?  So let's have some fun.  Let me know in the comments below if you'd rather this story had a Happy Ending or a Bad End.

Interestingly, this decision will likely have further ramifications.  I'm very flexible when it comes to planning my longer story arcs.  I think of characters as game pieces placed on a board.  I remember the status and position of the pieces at the end of each story and that often acts as inspiration for future stories.  "Sandwiched by Slimes" is set in one of my existing universes.  The characters from here will likely pop up again, but I haven't yet locked in their roles.  They could be antagonists or allies.  The path taken here will likely have a say in determining how I use them in the future.

Maybe.

Sometimes it's the metaphorical act of tossing a coin that determines the decision rather than the outcome of that coin toss.  If the coin comes up tails and you wished it had come up heads then you know the heads decision was the one you wanted to take all along.  For this reason I reserve the right to completely ignore all results and go with the path I think is right.

This also has the happy side effect of avoiding any spoilers.  Sure, the vote might go for Happy Ending, but you won't know for sure I acted on it until you read the story.

As it is kind of dickish to give readers a choice and then completely ignore it, I will penalize myself if I take this option.  I'll make one of the stories in my current stockpile available to read for free on Literotica.  (This will also have the happy side effect of forcing me to write more new stories to ensure my collections have the requisite mix of exclusive material).

So let's embrace some true #ChaosWriting.  Thumbs up or thumbs down.  Happy Ending or Bad End.  Let me know in the comments below.

UPDATE
After 24 hours we have:
Happy Ending - 9
Bad End - 4
(and a few I wasn't sure on, but was going to use as a tiebreaker in favour of happy in the event of a tie.)

The public have spoken and it's a thumbs up.  However, Caesar is capricious and cruel and may not necessarily follow the will of the people.

I'll see if I can get the completed story out next week.

New Trial for Mon-musu Quest: Paradox out

Update here.

I haven't had a chance to look at it.  It sounds like the content is the same as before but the game is now stable enough that players will be able to transfer save games over to the finished game when released.  This sounds very encouraging.  From とろとろレジスタンス's (torotoro resistance) blog it sounds like they're deep into testing.  Maybe we'll see the completed game in a couple of months.

I'm currently deep in a deadline crunch and buying a house.  Once I've got that all out of the way I'll start looking at how to tackle a Let's Play of this enormous sexy beast.

"Why don't you post your Let's Plays of Violated Hero and such on a site like XVideos?"

This question came up in the comments for the last blog post (thanks, anonymous!).  I was going to answer it there and then thought of a whole bunch of other stuff while I was writing and decided to splurge them out in a full post instead.

The short answer is I have absolutely no experience or knowledge on how to put together videos, edit them and upload them to sites like Youtube, Twitch, etc.  This is not a particularly good excuse as I could probably read up on these things and figure them out.  I even have the free time to attempt this if so inclined.

The bigger question is: Would it work?

One of the more interesting things I've learned from following #GamerGate over the last few months is just how popular youtubers like TotalBiscuit and Boogie2988 are.  I knew this kind of videogames coverage was out there, but I hadn't realised just how huge it was.  In fact, one of the more interesting narrative frames that can be applied to #GamerGate is that it's about one form of media (traditional blogging/journalism producing written articles for gaming websites) being supplanted by another form of media (new youtubers/twitchers producing gameplay videos for Youtube, etc) and raging at their own oncoming obsolescence.

(It is by no means the only narrative frame that can be applied to #GamerGate, but we're not going there.  Nope, definitely not going there.)

Let's Play videos are a big thing now.  Unfortunately, doing them for the type of monster girl hentai games I like runs into problems with hosting venues and audience expectation.  Youtube and Twitch have fairly strict anti-lewd rules which rule out a lot of explicit content.  There are Let's Plays of Monster Girl Quest that get around the problem by sticking black squares (or more humorous censors) over the lewd bits, but MGQ is a weird case in that the story and characters are still entertaining even without the lewdness.  It's still less than ideal though.  After all, what's the point of Let's Playing an eroge if you can't show off a nice pair of giant round tits.

Cap'n, we don't have a black square big enough!

The other option, as suggested, would be to go to one of the porn youtube clones like XVideos.  I don't think this would work because of audience expectation.  People go to Youtube for entertainment.  Person providing commentary while playing through something like Monster Girl Quest could be entertaining.  People go to porn youtube clones to fap.  Random British guy wittering over monster girl hentai game - not fap material.

I think Let's Play videos of various monster girl hentai games could be highly entertaining, I just don't think there's a good place to showcase them at the moment.  For that type of Let's Play video anyway.

While I was thinking of ideas, one thing I thought would work is to have a voice actress with a sexy voice play through the game and read out the dialogue of the female characters.  I think that could work very well on the porn youtube clones, but it does rely on the Let's Player being female, having a sexy voice, and not giving two fucks about weird smutty material.

Sexy voice + Alma Elma RP = profit?
 
As a lumpen Brit with a lumpen voice, this isn't really an option for me.

Could be a good opportunity for the right person though...
