Double Memory by worrywart - Restricted
http://bit.ly/1cJ1Rfs
What could Albus Dumbledore have done in his youth that meant that two of the Wizarding world’s brightest people had to be ‘removed’ from society when they discovered his secret? And what happens when they return and realize what’s been done to them? A story of love and betrayal that begins at the start 20th century and ends at the dawn of the 21st.

One of our old members, Janey (of noted Ask Janey infamey on the Forums) is looking for a co-writer to help finish up a story that was started long ago. She's easy going and quite funny and would be very grateful for the help. Contact me for details. Please spread the word to anyone who might be able to give Jane a hand.

Ten years have passed since Hermione's priceless private lessons with Professor Snape. Post-Hogwarts life hadn't been kind to her and when social obligations bring her back to the school, Hermione hopes for her erotic adventures with Snape to continue. This time, however, he won't be the only former Death Eater to broaden her horizon...^^

Emily and the Prince by aewriter 4 - wanton
http://bit.ly/1cIACEY
This story is a "prequel" to "An Afternoon in the Harem" (published December 1). It deals with events several years earlier, and describes the early experiences of young Lady Emily Forrester-Clarke, kidnapped from London into the harem of the Prince of al-Dakar. Kept naked, unbathed, and violated in all her holes, Emily is at first shocked and unwilling, but she is increasingly seduced by the vigorous Prince, by her own violent orgasms, and by the sensuous life of the Pleasure Harem. She comes to deserve the name she is known by int he harem: Suhi-Oodi, "Wet Pussy". Eventually, she must make a decision.

Complete: Sunday Evening with Master Derek by aewriter 4 - Wanton
http://bit.ly/1l9Ysey
Naked Yuriko is the happy slave of an older man, Master Derek. Yuriko is a quiet, demure, conservative girl at work, but in Master's apartment she is a naked, beaten, orgasmic slut. He imposes humiliations on her that she loves--the dirtier, the better...


Sold! by aewriter 4 - wanton
http://bit.ly/1e3Mp0b
The red-haired Irish girl Alyssa has been kidnapped to Tangiers. For three months she has been harshly trained in sexual slavery by Master Justin: kept naked, unbathed, often whipped. Alyssa has learned to be an obedient animal, with all her holes open for the pleasure of others. Now the day has arrived where she is being sold by Master Justin to an Arab buyer, for inclusion in his pleasure-harem. The price is high, so Prince Aziz insists on testing the naked Irish girl's responses to him: with mouth, with cunt, with anus--and he makes her do other things too...

The Secrets of the Harem by aewriter 4 -wanton
http://bit.ly/ITg2XV
Oodwa, the newest of Prince Ahmad's naked pleasure-girls, is being introduced to life in the Prince's harem. Her guide is the older girl called Musaleema. Oodwa's pussy is shaved bare, and she is made to sit on the Pleasure Chair; Musaleema eagerly licks the girl's lovely pussy-lips. Then Musaleema brings Oodwa out from her silken harem alcove to watch the savage punishment of a disobedient British girl. Oodwa is shocked when she learns why the girl is being punished.

Later, Prince Ahmad himself appears in the harem, with his current favorite, the naked girl called Suhi-Oodi: Ahmad has been using her for the past two days, and she is covered in his dried cum. They announce that she is pregnant, and the harem-girls all clap in delight. Oodwa is excited and wants to be the Prince's favorite--his Bed
Girl. Musaleema tells her that the Prince will use her for pleasure, but that Oodwa can never be a Favorite. The reason reveals the darkest secret of the harem. Oodwa watches stunned as Price Ahmad summons Musaleema to give him Mouth Pleasure, and the girl runs eagerly to do it.

I've been mucking about in the innards of the site. Are there any Genres or Content Notes that you'd like to have me add? I have added a classification for contests, naming all (or all that I can remember) of the contests that we've had on the site. I'll transfer the stories that I can remember, but would you please remind me of your contest entries, please, so I can add the note to your stories? Thanks!

The Impossible 'O' by TheTVJunkie Explicit
http://bit.ly/1cR5jse
A rather confident and assertive Hermione is determined to exclusively get perfect grades in her final N.E.W.Ts. Too bad that ever grumpy Snape NEVER gives 'O's, let alone to a student of a rival house. Hence, the stubborn witch hatches a daring plan which is totally getting out of hand and eventually gets the overzealous Gryffindor way more than she had bargained for...

An Afternoon in the Harem by aewriter 4 - Wanton
http://bit.ly/IoeV2y
It is afternoon in the harem of the Prince of al-Dakar. Three naked harem-girls gossip about the sexual power of the Prince, and of his son, the Young Master. One of the girls is a British captive: she is nude, blonde, hugely-pregnant, unbathed... The Harem Mistress arrives and tells the girls that a British aristocrat will be visiting the Harem today, doing research on the status of women in Al-Dakar. And also looking for her sister, who disappeared in the Middle East seven years ago. The Prince escorts Lady Caroline Forrester-Clarke into the Harem. She is young, prim, conservatively dressed. When she sees and smells the 25 naked pleasure girls of the Prince's harem, she goes into shock; she is shaking. When she sees her naked and hugely-pregnant sister brought before her for her inspection (the girl who was once Lady Emily Forrester-Clarke, now called only by her harem-name, "Wet-Pussy"), Lady Caroline falls into a faint. Laughing, the harem-girls begin to strip off all of Lady Caroline's clothes; she will never need them again! She will become the newest addition to the Harem of al-Dakar. She will always be naked, punished, whipped, orgasmed...
