reccomendations for good series

[thoros]

i have visited this site on-and-off for the past few years, and have run across a few really amazing stories.
I have listed a few of these here in hopes that it will catalyze other members into searching out series that they really enjoyed, and recommending them also.

1. "To Tempt the Devil" by bad_girl23

2. "Innocent Pawn" by wishfulthinking

3. "smokeSCREEN" by Riven__Caulfield

4. "The Secret of Perfection" by MaxSebastian
http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=15646&page=submissions

I have based these recommendations off of mainly these three criteria:
1. A good story has to have a broader scope than just another romp in the hay.
2. A good story has balance (ie a good story will arouse the reader creatively and physically while remaining cogent and well paced)
3. A good story will traverse over new ground and break convention, causing readers to consider new realities and possibilities

PS - I realize how trite all of this must sound, but please bear with me.
Also, I realize that I am being rather presumptious in deciding what constitutes a "good" story, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.

You're a sweetie for thinking so!

Wow this is quite amazing - you just named my 3 favourite (so far, I haven't been here long ) authors and some of their best work! I'd probably put Riven's first though.. and I've never read MaxSebastian so based on your recommendation I'll go take a looksee now - thanks!

Nice idea Thoros and you've got two of my faves listed in Wishful and Max. Haven't seen Max about as much as we used to. Writes a great story and graciously helped me with editing on a number of occasions. You've sparked my interest to read the others on your list. Thanks and welcome.

well...i didnt really list these stories in any particular order (well, really just the order in which i found their respective links)
as to actually ranking them....i would be hard-pressed to do so
they are all so good! (though i would probably tend to agree with you about riven's stories)

I agree about Innocent Pawn.

Another one I like is: A Queen's Enslavement - CrimsonMaiden
And: The House on Charlevoixstreet - dr. Mabeuse, but that is no longer available on this site.
So, I'm not even sure I spelled the title right. LOL

Wow

Its lovely that you think so - THANKS YOU!!! I'm very flattered.

I have to say that those stories listed are some of my favourites too. Actually, The House of Charlevoix Street is probably my all-time favourite, but it isn't on this site, as Black Tulip said. It's quite interesting that it's my favourite since I like romance, and don't usually like BDSM. However, it is undoubtedly one of the best stories I've ever read.

I also like brightlyiburn's stories, the Love Intensely series and I really enjoyed Captured Ch.01 by wishfulthinkin. Keep on writing everybody! You're all much appreciated.
