This is one of the most reliably entertaining titles, and one of the largest runs.  It mystifies me why this is still in the "Short-Run" section. ;)

Sweet!  So is this going to be two stories long, like the last one?  You know, we get to watch Katie and her mom go at it for a while, before switching over to watch Mia(?) get brainwashed by her husband?  And what about Charlotte's roommate, what happened during their little hypno session?

I'm kind of bummed the lesbian teenagers are no longer an item, but hot story overall. I like Charlotte's initiative.

I'm with Haight in terms of Katie and Nikki, but I also feel like the guy may somewhat be losing control here.  Between giving into Katie's mom's request (obviously not like she had in mind) and Charlotte going absolutely power mad, how is this guy supposed to keep himself on top of the pyramid.  Granted, everyone is still focused on his pleasure, but there doesn't seem to be an end game in the making.  I'm not saying I want the story to end, I just want it to be more decisive in terms of who gets hypno'ed and what gets done to them.  For example, did he turn Katie into her mom's slave just because he thought it'd be fun and he was getting bored with non-incestuous lovers or is he trying to design his harem towards a certain image?  Heck, does he even have a harem or just a group of women who find themselves inexplicably attracted to other women and him?

The mother and daughter are lovers I like to see more that with many other ladies more nude ladies also

I'm also loving Charlotte; still subservient, but using her initiative to please her overall "master".  Really great.

Since we're mentioning such things, there's no link for page 3 of this.

Excuse me?  I can see page 3 just fine.

The PDF contains one additional page compared with the online version. The third page past the cover is missing online.

Um, guys, you are being weird. Everything's right there, both in the HTML and on the page.

I loaded the page and it wasn't there. I then loaded the page and it was. Anyway, it's good now!

In the future, problems like this reported two months after the issue date are going to be closed with "Won'tfix." :)

Well I'll be... What we're the chances of that correcting itself after all this time?

It's certainly possible that when I looked at that record in the DB, it rebuilt it, but that doesn't explain why it was fine when I went to look at it before that.

SQL is for sissies. Real men code the database themselves from the ground up.

I disagree. The realest man I know manages databases.

I hate to break it to you but I've a feeling real men don't use databases.

Good thing I'm not a real man, then. :)

True. Real men run around the highlands buck naked and swinging a claymore.

And tossing cabers.  Don't forget the cabers.  (Hmm... "tossing the caber" needs to go on the list of euphemisms for masturbation.)

Yes. Forgot the masturcabers.

I think it's a widely held belief in the UK that the last two words in "tossing the caber" are redundant.


Title: Re: By the Book #15
Post by: mns_95125 on January 09, 2015, 01:56:24 pm
On reflection, "swinging the claymore" probably belongs on the list too.

Thanks for adding the extra page that describes Sherri's programming; that really helped make it way better as an issue in my opinion.  Also thanks for going back to Sherri's original appearance and changing her name to be consistent with the following issues (save for that one Cecelia you missed, but oh well).  I really appreciate the extra time you took the make these changes, so thank-you.
