Fifty Shades of Lubricated Anal Fisting by BDSMeyer

Okay, just past 100 pages, entering page 200 now and… did I just say in my first impression of the first 100 pages that I hadn’t come across the panty-burning scenes? Wait, in my UK copy, the buck(ing) starts at page 113, culminating in a hilarious multi-paged 3-appendixed contract our hero Christian gives to our heroine Anna. Among many things, the contract pretty much requires her to tick what she’d like him to do, things that include, among many things, anal fisting (ouch), suspension from the ceiling via a variety of bondage materials, and more. Also included in the list are, er, opening one’s mouth and swallowing deep – almost hilarious in how incongruously normal this act seems after a list of things like the abovementioned anal fisting.

Anna, who until that point had never even been kissed, puts out to Christian way too quickly (don’t worry, she’s not easy – it’s… er, okay, she’s easy, but let’s all pretend that she’s just overwhelmed by Christian’s creepy date rapist/stalker antics) and is now, after looking up what a submissive means online, feeling all hot at the idea of having Christian shove his fist up her rear end tunnel.

I can’t wait. I’ll keep you updated on what happens next, unless I happen to pass out from laughing too hard.

Indian Mills & Boon

I’ve finally found a way to purchase the two available Indian Mills & Boon. Go here:

http://www.millsandboonindia.com/exclusiveedition

I have made a successful order – I live in Malaysia – but I have no idea how long those books will get here. I’ll let you guys know when they do.

Here’s the odd thing: they charged me Indian Rupees 188 for both titles. This is a bargain as, when converted in local currency, it boils down to about RM10 – RM10! Thing is, they didn’t seem to charge any shipping fee.

Anyone had any experience ordering from these guys? Any information will be appreciated. If not, hey, let me be the guinea pig. I’ll keep you updated on how things turn out.

ETA: Okay, they only ship within India. Why then do they allow people from other countries to place orders, I will never know. Hmmph!

First impressions: Fifty Shades of Twilight by that fanfiction author

Now, I did not spoil myself when I first read this book. I did not follow the anti-hype and backlash beyond the first day when the whole drama broke out. So, when this book arrived at my doorstep and I started reading, well…

It didn’t suck so far. Perhaps this is because I was expecting the worst and the worst never came. Not that the going was great so far, as the author followed the Stephenie Meyer pattern of having her female protagonist babble and play the self-effacing Mary Sue a lot. What struck me was how this story – the first 100 or so pages that I have read anyway – resembled a better-written Harlequin Presents. Sue meets rich billionaire who behaves like an arrogant mule, and he is so struck by her beauty that he just has to see her again, that kind of thing.

Let’s see how things go as I keep reading, but so far, it’s pretty decent.
