crazed Jaymal fan 4-ever

I nominate The Summer of Amy's Dad by Jaymal. It was placed in the mature category because the man was about 40 years old, but there was a younger girl involved, straight sex (erotic coupling), cheating/betrayal. It really could have fit into a number of categories.

Wheels of Steel - Pepper Pace

 

[nelliebelle]

I nominate A_Satori

I noiminate A_Satori for “Aunt Jean, Ron, and…” It’s a sequel story to “Aunt Jean”.

If 2 stories can be nominated by for the same author, I also nominate “Masculine and Beautiful.” I was hesitant to read it because of the mother-son element, but it was a riveting emotional story like all his others.

His stories are the most realisitic, believable, and compelling stories I have read here. His character's are so real, with real emotions, and the stories are about a lot more than sex, they are about life, love, morals, hope, tragedy, happiness. His stories have made me feel and think, and are the only ones I've read at Literotica which have made me literally cry (both happy and sad tears). For those reasons I think he definitely transcends the genre.
