getDare Book Club

[The Slutty Princess]

I really enjoy reading books and short stories, especially the erotic ones! I had had an idea that it could be a good idea to start a small little "book club" on this website. I had searched for best threads similar to a "book club" and found that many did not work for various reasons. I hope to have fixed these reasons.

Essentially, my idea is:
Every week or so, I assign a erotic short story to read. All the club members may chose to read the story and then give their input on the story afterwards. The erotic stories will mostly be shorter stories either from the getDare story section, literotica, sexstories.com, etc. The stories are short since assinging a 200-300 page book and sharing your input on it would take too long.
You may share what you liked about the story, what could have been improved, why you may not like the story, your just your overall thoughts on the story.
If the story posted is not "your cup of tea" you don't have to read it. I have open to reading most stories. Though it may sound "sick", I like to read dark fantasy stories about slavery, abduction, or just a different world.I also enjoy true, non-fiction stories. I may post reports from others on getDare, stories from getDare, or other erotic stories from other sites though everyone in the "book club" are allowed to share stories on what they'd like to read next.

I'm not sure how this will work but for now, if you'd like to join, just say so. I will post a story to read later in the week, unless another member would like to post one.

XOXOXO
Love Lia

This sounds wonderful. You can count me in on this. Great idea!

[SloppyLot]

This could be fun, actually

[bthomas]

I'm in. This sounds interesting. I can't wait to find out what the story is.

[Joan Sky]

Umm... I'll try it out. Thanks.

Here is the first book I have chosen for our club! Please feel free to share your thoughts, emotions, etc on the book after reading it. I will read it soon and share my thoughts as well! Have fun!

My thoughts on
Blood, Sweat, and Tears are not enough
-DHK-eh

Overall, I really did enjoy this story. For me, I enjoy reading about suffering, tragedies, and dark fantasies. It may sound sick or awful but something about it being "wrong" makes it a little arousing. I think some of the best books and stories I have read always end with a tragic ending. Usually, a tragic ending will really make you ponder on it and leave your head spinning. That's exactly what this story did for me.

I really enjoyed the visible effort the author had put in. You could tell this story was not rushed and wrote in a few days, rather it took a little thought. The characters were well explained and I could truly understand each character's emotions, thoughts, and depict them from the various descriptions. My emotions were strong with this one. Reading about a world where women were merely sexual objects only used for entertainment was a little hard but arousing at the same time. A world that taught of the dehumanization of women as merely sex objects, where rape is acceptable, and where abuse is taught, was disturbing but at the same time, to me, was a little arousing. Now I know I may sound like the Devil himself while saying that but it just turns me on, strictly as a fantasy. When I was younger, I always acted as though I was kidnapped, abused, and raped and the only way I could solve and seek help was to find comfort in someone. Never did I think a strict "fantasy" would actually happen but it did. I was abused but it is part of my story now, a story that I am proud of. I guess I just like these stories because I actually have experienced these dark events and can relate to the depression and suffering the characters go through. The essence of love was visible in this story as well. The main characters were suffering from abuse and rape and all they sought was love, love from someone. Oz tried showing that to Kira but it was too late.

Anyway, I really did enjoy the story and I would certainly read it again. I really can't find anything that could have been better. I thought the author did a nice job in explaining the setting, the new world the story was surrounded by, and the characters. I think the ending could have been a little more thought out, something maybe a little more tragic. Maybe Fallon getting to hear Kira's last breath, not Oz. Anyway, tell me what you thought of it!

Blood, Sweat, and Tears are not enough by DHK-eh review:

I liked the story. The author wrote it well, and although there were some errors throughout, they weren’t major or too distracting enough to detract from the story. The author did a good job transporting you into another world. I liked his style of writing and his descriptions. I smirked when Fallon was trying to move the sleeping guy's arm with the power of her mind, and liked when Kira was giving Fallon a clue by gently caressing her hair, silently communicating her to go deeper.

I don’t like the world they lived in. I liked the personalities of the main characters. Oz was the way he was because he grew up in that society, but he had a good heart and his eyes were opened by Fallon and then Kira; a realization that didn’t last long for any of them.
That was a surprise. Creative writing. Kudos for that.

I saw a part of myself in all of them. I saw part of that world in this world, not to that extreme…
It just reminded me of what’s not readily accepted in the world, and of paradigms big, small, and similar, rooted in closed-mindeness.

I liked how Fallon had held out as long as she could, and how she spoke her mind once in a while - like when she told that guy to go use the restroom instead, and telling Oz basically “So what, do you want a cookie?” She hadn't totally given up, and she truly appreciated Kira.
I liked how she was smart. How she maintained her appearance just enough but not too much. Her thoughts on how beautiful wasn’t a compliment in that world, not from them.
I liked Oz’s and her courage at the end. I like how she thought of the opportunity in the distraction in the distance, the windshield, and in how she used her weight that one moment during the scuffle.

I liked how Kira had the inner strength and courage to always fight back no matter what, even though it almost killed her at times and eventually did. That is rare.

I liked the thoughts and dreams of both of the girls. I am happy that a part of Kira’s was actualized, if only for a brief moment near the end. I know it wasn't close to the setting she wanted, but it happened. It seemed like they were starting before they ended. I wish Fallon could dream of more than just beautiful ceilings. I wish she was free to imagine what she desired and eventually realize it someday.

I like happy endings. I can imagine an ending where Oz keeps Fallon and Kira permanently after high school. The author mentions that possibility in the beginning of the story, and they are seniors after all. He can let them know of his plans and they can all try to stay out trouble until then (Fake it till you make it, baby). He will have his own place with beautiful ceilings that change each month with new pictures... And the rest is "a new story" for another time.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears are not enough by DHK-eh review:
(SPOILERS)

The background
A well set story, the men dominating women, that's really exciting to see in a story. But I have to say that I don't really like that much blood and such a brutality, it just isn't my type.

The characters
This is what I most liked in the story. Well thought characters, very representative and different. I really liked Kira as the rebel, she is the type of character I like. Then Oz... Oz was too typical, it's like the every-story-bad-guy-who-turns-into-a-good-guy-and-dies-at-the-end

The story
I liked it very much at the beginning and I was very curious about where will it go. Then my curiosity stalled, and started to grow again when they took Kira and Fallon into the car. It was really interesting since then.

The Ending

Spoiler:

0/10

I really didn't like it. It is just not the kind of ending I would like in a story this kind...

Overall
As a sex fantasy story 3/10

As it wasn't anything I expected it gets poor notes. Of course, the author shouldn't care about this, because it is a very very subjective opinion

I saw a newer story in the Truth or Dare Stories section entitled Sorority Sisters by Blood by sarahsarah http://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=2126017

It has six chapters as of now, but I will do a review of what's written so far. I know it's pretty much the beginning of the story, and that the taboo and extreme scenes have yet to be written, but will come. I understand having a break for a week, but am just trying to keep the wheel rolling. I will try to have the review done no later than the end of the week, but perhaps sooner. Goodnight everyone

Review of Sorority Sisters by Blood (Chapters 1 -6) by sarahsarah
No Spoilers

I really like what's written so far, and look forward to the rest of the story.
It is very well written and arousing. I give my thanks and appreciation to the author, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm not giving a detailed review like I usually do partly because I'm speechless and partly in respect to the author because the most glorious review I can give is to simply say that it stands on its own. That is the best justice I can give it, because to say any more would be superfluous.

Thank you.
Goodnight.

Binding Connections (Chapters 1 - 18) by sarahsarah was recommended to me. If anyone has a recommendation for stories to read, feel free to announce it when a new story needs to be picked. I aim to give a detailed review like usual. This is more chapters than any of the previous stories, and is also a work in progress like the last story - but there's plenty to read

http://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=232216

I'm going to try to submit my review no later than next weekend. I don't want to rush the reading and review. Plus I have a couple of other books I am reading. One's for a bookclub that I'm in with my brothers, and the other one is a personal read. Plus work, errands, life, and all that. I think that is a fair deadline to aim for.

It was also recommended that the next story be one by subby999uk. Feel free to recommend also.

Good night all,
~ joan

Sorry for the delay in response, I have been a little too busy to sit down and read but I finally got to your suggestion today! Thank you for your recommendation Joansky!

Review of Soroity Sisters by Blood (Chapters 1-7) -By sarahsarah

Just by reading the first seven chapters, it is hard to think that it is only day 2 for Mia's pledge week! The story is very well written with great details and very little mistakes. I really enjoy the writing style. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger, leaving you anxious for the next chapter. I started reading with intent that I'd read the first few chapters in the afternoon and finish later tonight but once I started, I could not stop reading! I think the story is very arousing as Mia seems to begin to discover herself as a lesbian and has the challenge of doing that in front of her own sister.I am curious to see how Mia grows and see how the relationship with her sister will incur. It is a marvelous story and I can't wait to hear more. As soon as the story concludes, I will write a more in-depth review! Keep up the good work sarahsarah!

[thewilds]

Very enticing story. Each chapter stepping it up from the previous. As the author of the incredible 50 word stories, sarahsarah spins a masterful Web!

Though I can't wait for the next chapters, I would suggest further book club entries are completed stories! (but that is just my opinion).
