Holy fucking shit, that Spanish review. I wish I knew the language to read it. Oh well, Google Translate will do.

Anyway, I like how you're alternating chapters between the two siblings' perspectives, and am glad Jack's in safe hands for now. Will the two cross paths again, I wonder?

Also, I never got to comment on the first chapter of Hostage. What say you on the brutality levels of the work, the same tier as Love Games, or lighter?

Nice work as always.



Author's Response:

Thanks! We will see them cross paths one way or another, though not for a while yet.

The violence in Hostage won't be nearly as graphic as Love Games, nor will it contain extended torture like that one (hence why it's rated R not X). So I'd definitely say lighter, though it still has plenty of darkness.

Oh boy. It's happening,  it's finally happening..!

I'm both excited and horribly terrified at what's to come. I'm also interested to see how this'll all tie in with your other stories.

How many chapters have you plan this to be? How many do you have written out already? Is this the conclusion to the series? 

Oh, the suspense is already getting to me. Best wishes to Jack.

 



Author's Response:

It is indeed happening. I don't want to guess a chapter number in case it ends up changing, but it will probably be similar to Blackmail 4. I have about a third of it written. And it will become clear whether this is the conclusion or not as the story progresses.  :)

Omega: Hostage by Jacksmith Rated: R starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 81]

I'm not usually keen on murder, but there's always something about hand crush that I can't help but appreciate.

In any case, neat chapter as always. I can't help but think I've heard the surname Reynolds from you before..

You've done a great job creating the tension that always envelopes situations like these. I can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

Thanks! Crush isn't usually my thing either, but it fits the story here.

Glad to see you back on the front page!

Mind if I ask, were these handful of months away a recovery period from writing burnout, or perhaps refueling for another round of pre-written chapters?

I certainly don't want to pry if it was due to personal issues, but it's great to see you again. I'm looking forward to your work as always~



Author's Response:

I wish I could say it was the latter. Mostly I've just been too busy to write.

Eek, gruesome stuff. That last bit particularly reminded me of a Saw trap or something. Hopefully our heroes' payout is worth it. A very suspenseful read indeed.

Thanks. I wanted this moment to feel especially gritty for the culmination of Taylor's arc.

Trial and Error by Inwiththebooks Rated: X starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 67]
Summary:

The rather narcissistic shut-in prince of a rather dimunative race is sent out into the world with the goal of finding the right suitor to marry. A rather simple goal... if every single one of his 'matches' weren't bigger than he. Not all are proper benevolent ladies either. With an informed retainer that is never around when he needs him as his only companion the prince sets out on a journey of self discovery, peril, and the occasional steamy encounter.

Reviewer: Orpheus Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: August 07 2015 Title: Chapter 1: The List

I'm really loving this concept, and all of the lovely ladies introduced so far. To be honest, I was a bit turned off when you called our hero a narcissist to begin with, but I'm glad he's more of a kid at heart who's in over his head than a pompous ass. Not to say I don't find pompous asses getting what's coming to them unsatisfying, but how you've written him is wonderful.

When it comes to suggestions, how about a non-human suitor as a change of pace? I may be cutting the feet lovers short here, but I'd love to see a lamia princess under the spotlight. They're known to be very passionate about their feelings, after all. Perhaps she has a cute accent and little concept of human culture, and our little hero gets up close and personal with her race's traditions.

In any case, keep up the great work.



Author's Response:

Narcissist might have been a tad much on my part though he certainly has his moments. I figured having him be completely unsympathetic would make the story less enjoyable.

Hmm... I actually hadn't thought of a lamia but I think it might be interesting to work with! I'll add it to the list as a possible future encounter. Could actually be fun to write him dealing with a snake woman.

Truth or Shrink by Jacksmith Rated: R starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 137]

Date: November 23 2015 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Run Tom Run

A pleasant surprise to see you write one of my favorite aspects. Though my pity and sympathy for our protagonist in this peculier context didn't make it easy to enjoy this chapter. Humiliation is one thing, but blatant disregard is another. Something about skewed senses of justice that go unpunished really grinds my gears. If that's what you were shooting for, you did a terrific job.

 

I am a little confused as to where you're going with this story, however. Is Tom supposed to learn the error of his ways through these tortures, or is everyone else? Or is it simply his fate to endure these fetishistic activities for good, as that is his place in this bent universe?

 

Great chapter as usual.

 



Author's Response:

You're definitely not meant to feel affection for Alaina. I like frustrating readers with the tiny's treatment. Admittedly this story is servicing the fetish more than the narrative, but the final chapter will help explain the point of all this (and give a hint at where things are headed in later stories).

Reviewer: Orpheus Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: December 22 2015 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21: You Can Handle the Truth

..Huh.

Well if he actually enjoys all of it, then I can't say I can complain either.

If Tom and his friend ever do meet, I wonder if she'll actually care for his wellbeing than ravage him to her heart's content. Doesn't look like it, from what we're seeing here.

An interesting conclusion.

A interesting start to an interesting story. I'm excited to see the worldbuilding of this universe. It seems like a more modern spin to the whole Lilliput/Brobdingnag situation, with no Gulliver needed inbetween.

Honestly, my biggest hope is for some bold, adventurous cutpurse to try to break in and unsuccessfully snatch something from the home of these two ladies. It would be neat to see their reaction.

Any chance of continuing Rehabilitation as well? Love that story to bits.



Author's Response:

Yeah, it's definitely avariation of the Lilli/Brob set up. Multi size worlds have a lot of potential for good content. As for the thief, I sure pocket change alone is worth the risk of getting caught for the price of scrap metal alone.

As for Rehabilitation, I'll continue that story when I feel I'm ready to go back to the heavy subject matter, though I really appreciate that you like the story. Anyways, thanks for reviewing.

Date: July 03 2016 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: What Might Have Been

Oh my fuck, this is actually happening. This actually, truly happening.

I never thought I'd see this come to life: a universe where Carly won. Honestly, I thought the slave situation couldn't get any more crazy after Arton's Dogs. Now, I'm not so sure.

I'm both terrified and excited for just what kind of things they'll do together. Or she'll do to him. I don't think my poor heart will take it. You're tearing me apart, Jack!

So, basically, this'll be some sort of a collection of all kinds of lewd things they do if Carly had won? How long will it last? As long as Big Sister Diaries?

 I'm just bewildered at just what kind of things will happen here.

Will the main timeline continue right after?

Thanks in advance for yet another entry to this series.



Author's Response:

Hehe. Glad to hear you're enthused. Basically, yes, it's a collection of activities they can engage in now that Jack is fully on board with his enslavement. Hard to say how long it will last; right now what I have are concepts and drafts, and I'm not sure how many chapters it will translate to. And yes, there will eventually be an actual A Little Blackmail 6 picking up from the end of 5 in the "real" timeline.

Reviewer: Orpheus Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: July 07 2016 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Welcome to Your Life, Little Bro

Off to a lewd beginning.

Honestly, this is actually more enjoyable than expected now that Jack's completely gone off the deep end. Big Sister Diaries was harder to stomach because of Jack's despair in unsuccessfully fighting back, but now that this story is, in a sense, consentual, it's quite alright. Despite Carly finally mindbreaking him, Jack's acceptance is eerily comforting. As if, after all this struggle, everything turned out better than expected.

A great start to this big ball of smut.

Oh, and requesting more handplay, please~



Author's Response:

"Lewd" is one way to put it. This story is definitely much different from the others in that it will be essentially all consentual stuff. I'm hoping readers will want to ponder which reality is really "best" for Jack. Despite how messed up this one is, after all, he's objectively much happier now than in the fifth story. There will be more handplay soon.

Date: July 16 2016 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Shoe-Tasting Party (Part 1)

Amazing how heartwarming a scene like this can be when you take out the usual anguish and heartbreak. Much respect for your ability to do both so wonderfully. I'm surprised she's not being more forceful with him, even if he's already conceded.

Can't wait for you to continue this, I'm glad my heart has been given a break with these two!



Author's Response:

Thanks very much. Never thought I'd hear a Carly scene referred to as "heartwarming." We'll see more of the more forceful Carly in later chapters. The idea here was to show that she can be tender, once she's become absolute queen of this two-person empire.

Reviewer: Orpheus Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: November 05 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Couples Hike

A well deserved 3 month break only to return with another precious chapter. I'm glad you're back, Jack. And I hope you stay a while this time. Don't let those real-life troubles push you around, you hear?

I, for one, am absolutely loving this direction. Sure, the implication of giving up your free will and humanity is still hanging grimly in the air above our little protag, but the way you write this chapter with such sensuous detail makes it such an endearing and comfy read.

I can almost hear Nina Simone singing "Just in Time" in my head while this chapter played on.

Anyway, again, welcome back. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff, however long it'll take. <3



Author's Response:

Oh I'm trying.

I'm glad you feel that kind of tone. My main goal with this story is to introduce the kind of comfort and synonymous affection that the other Blackmails can't have.

Chuckled at the Nina Simone thing.

Oh boy oh boy, time to see what kinds of lewd challenges our little hero will be facing this time around.

So glad to see your bring this series back. And certainly glad to see the title as well, I hope it implies Judy really gets hands on in this story.

This series is part of your extended universe, right? Seeing what happened in the Shrink Act Files, that must mean Judy's plans all come to fruition in the end. She wins, as she always does.

While the thought really doesn't bode well for poor Scott, I hope he'll fight until his last breath for his cause. He's a very admirable character and I can't wait to see how much further he developes with this story.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. Yes, the title is referring to Judy in a more physical role for this story. And yes, this is in my extended universe. Shrink Act Files actually happens before this, though, so while there are hints in there about how things are going, it doesn't necessarily tell how this story will end.

Property 2 by PoisonPen Rated: X starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 3]
Summary:

The long-awaited conclusion to Property. Darcy, the middle-aged manager of an apartment building, discovers a perfume atomizer which allows her to shrink things -- and people.  Sexually dominant and breathlessly free from feelings of guilt, she began to experiment in the first installment.  Now she is ready to enjoy the taboo fruits of her discovery.

If you haven't read the first chapter, go back and read it first.  I also encourage you to read the whole story, not just hunt for the "good bits."  I promise you that you'll enjoy it more when you care about the characters.

Disclaimer: Full of perversion and violence and sociopathy and all the other unpleasant things for which I'm known.  While some of the characters in this story are roughly drawn on real people I have known, all of them are amalgams of multiple people combined with entirely imaginary traits I have summoned up from the depths of my sordid imagination.  If you haven't read any of my work in the past, then be aware that I tend to combine smut with worrisome psychological horror which will stay with you long after the story is finished.  You've been warned.
