Freebie Fetish Friday - Putting the TG in TGIF!

Well, if it's Friday, then it must be time to bend our way into the weekend with Freebie Fetish Friday.

Every Friday I search through the weekend's free titles on Amazon, looking for those that might be of interest to similarly bent readers, fans, and lovers. Even if you don't have a Kindle, you can still download the titles through one of Amazon's free reading applications, or covert it with Calibre to load onto a Kobo, iPad, or anything else.

Please do be sure to check the price before downloading anything, as most freebies are limited time offers, and some are specific to certain regions.

Learning to Roar by Hafren Evan (#transgender #waria)

It’s not often that an author can pull off the melding of so many different elements into a  seamless masterpiece, but somehow Hafren Evan has accomplished this very thing in “Learning to Roar” .

This is a tale of gender transition, codependency, serious mental illness, and horrible graphic imagery, religious conversion, lost love, Islamic Sharia law, murder and one person’s search for self. These are all present, but the telling of this story in such rich, almost poetic language is the unifying element that turns it all into a delicacy and makes it all work so well.

The sole weak point, in this writer’s opinion, was the ending, which, although it seemed to occur at the right point, was too sudden for this reviewer’s taste, particularly in view of the overall strength of this book.

Then again, it could be that this reaction was simply disappointment that the story ended at all.

Hafren's books are novels with transgender protagonists or portraying gender nonconforming characters and the difficulties they face. Her writing centers on characters who don't 'fit in' for various reasons, including where they find themselves on the gender spectrum. Their individuality is often a quest beyond the norms of social conformity. However, plot's important as well as character --- she wants to write satisfying stories readers will enjoy, despite tending to write psychological novels.

Danni by Terri Peterson (#gay #crossdressing domination)

My, what a twisted, taboo tale Terri Peterson has woven with Danni. This is one of those stories that refuses to play out according to the genre conventions, and instead challenges us with questionable acts and even more questionable motivations, all in the name of self-discovery.

As the story opens, Danny Beaumont is a skinny kid with a girlfriend, but his performance issues lead Chloe to question whether he might be gay. Not content with his nonchalant denial, she sets him up with her cousin, Tom, and an experimental kiss soon leads both men to a spare bedroom. The first four chapters here are sweet and sort-of innocent, a story of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and a lot of erotic boy-on-boy sex. Peterson captures the spirit of the moment so well, and establishes some important personalities.

It is in the next few chapters where the story takes a dark left turn, first with the discovery that Tom is submissive to a much older Daddy, and then with Danny's invitation to become Dick's newest submissive. It sounds like an erotic fantasy - and it is - but this is not a tale of instant fetish love. There is some significant tension there, vague warnings from Tom, and a lot of pressure from Dick to leap blindly into a heavy-duty lifestyle. Danny has his doubts, but quickly falls under Daddy's power, allowing himself to be feminized and pimped out to Dick's friends. It is there that the story hits its darkest point, but it does not stay there.

Do not think for a moment that Danni is a victim, however, or that this is a depressing cautionary tale. I love how he ultimately takes control of his situation, embraces his femininity, and . . . well, I will stop there. This was a fantastic read, a heart-pounding erotic thriller that does go to some dark places, but which never loses sight of the humanity beneath the fetish, the sex, and the violence.

'Terri' Peterson, was born August 19th, 1969, and spent what she referred to as 'a miserably failed experiment in tyranny' at a typical secondary school, where she was bullied relentlessly and made fun of. She left with no regrets, a handful of qualifications for a career in banking, and bitter memories of time spent being the object of ridicule by her peers. Being myopic, gauche, skinny and flat-chested, sporting a head of rich auburn hair, made her a daily target for abuse, which she escaped by becoming immersed in the fantasy world of writing short stories.

The Witches Orchard by R Wolf (#horror #transgender)

Although "The Witches Orchard: A Transformation Story" by R Wolf was mesmerizing and freaky, reminiscent of the Twilight Zone at its scariest, the grammar and editing was terrible.

The story is a well-conceived gender transformation tale, set in a horror context.  However, this reviewer had the thought that it must have been written by a person for whom English was a second language or, perhaps they somehow did not know how to employ the spelling and grammar checker?

Nevertheless, because the telling marched so inexorably down an ever more garish path, into something so grandiose and beyond belief, perseverance became the watchword and this reader was ultimately not unhappy with the choice to continue.

Takeaways: We are one with nature. Be careful what you wish for. Being impulsive can be dangerous. And don't mess with a witch!

#TGCaption - A Slippery Slope (#crossdressing #bisexual)

TG Captions are one of my favorite forms of storytelling. There is no narrative fluff, no extraneous details, just the hook, the twist, and the climax.

I am absolutely in love with this image. I would kill to look that good, and to be able to afford that quality of lingerie. I might prefer a sugar momma, but a girl cannot afford to be picky. :)

#TGCaption - Got Him Pegged (#feminization #pegging #exhibitionism)

TG Captions are one of my favorite forms of storytelling. There is no narrative fluff, no extraneous details, just the hook, the twist, and the climax.

I have been to a few fetish shows, and while all I did was get spanked and try a little wax play, the thrill of exhibitionism was incredible. To be doing something kinky for an audience, knowing there is no judgement or condemnation . . . well, it makes me wonder how far I could take it.
