Words, With Friends – A Vintage Review
It’s time for another trip down memory lane although this time the detour won’t be so long. Let’s talk a bit about Words, With Friends, by willgb5602000.
This story was posted to EMCSA on September 26th, 2015. Back then, I was doing somewhat regular reviews at the Garden of MC Forum and also finding my footing on the old Inraptured site and I remember this one catching my eye when it appeared. The premise is a game of Scrabble that goes hypnotic when a dictionary is brought to play and it’s quite the ride, really.
Small confession, here. Although I know the game, I’ve yet to play a game of Scrabble for real (online doesn’t count) and I’m not really sure I could go for one after reading this tale because I would probably end up disappointed with anything less than this. Fantasy-wise, this is a story right up my alley, quite clever, incredibly sneaky. I particularly liked the small bits/examples that Jane kept including after or within the definitions of the words themselves. I kept grinning every time I noticed one, thinking “Wow, that’s just great!” For instance, check out the sequence below
“Gratify, verb: give someone pleasure or satisfaction. Example: ‘he was gratified to be in her company and hear the sound of her voice.’ Also, indulge or satisfy a desire. Example: ‘not all the sexual impulses can be gratified so easily.’
Synonyms: please, give pleasure to, make happy, delight, thrill, give someone a buzz, make someone feel good, really really good, like you feel when I talk to you.
Synonyms for the other reading, like ‘she could easily gratify his darkest desires’: indulge, give in to, slake, satiate, appease, pacify, satisfy, comply with, be so compliant with that you just go along with every word I say, and automatically comply.“
“Comply, verb: often ‘comply with’. Definition: act in accordance with a wish or command. Example: ‘he found it very easy to comply with her request.’
Synonyms: abide by, conform to, respect, follow, obey, willingly obey; agree to, assent to, consent to, concur with, fall in with, fall so deeply in with, acquiesce in, go along with, yield to, bow to, submit to.”
“Submit, verb. Sense 1, subject, no object: accept or yield to a superior force, or to the authority or will of another person.
Examples: ‘the countess submitted under duress’; ‘you are submitting to male domination’. Or it could be female domination—why not? Such a sexist old book. It doesn’t even consider the possibility that a woman could be dominant, that she could easily hold authority over you, that you could submit to her will.
Synonyms: give in, yield, give way, agree, consent, acquiesce, comply, accept, surrender, surrender, surrender so eagerly; lay down one’s arms, one’s heavy heavy arms; bend the knee, fall, kowtow. Informal synonyms: fall on one’s knees before, throw oneself at someone’s feet.”
Some will probably find this somewhat tedious but not me. The wordplay is great and Jane is quite the devious character. I really like this piece. If you’re an Femdom Hypnosis fan and never checked this one out, it’s time to rectify that, today.
Thank you for reading.
