This is the first sex contest of the first ever Couples Tourney that will crown the best couple of the BSF. Tonight, Melanie and Don face the newest couple in the League, Megan and Paul, to see which one will get to face Regine and Brad in the Semifinals.
Loved it! This was a great piece of writing and I loved how it advanced both Megan and Melanie’s arcs! I loved the novelty of having two characters with such huge character defining flaws facing off…Melanie with her body image issues against prudish Megan, still grappling with expressing her sexuality. In terms of pacing, this was an exciting story with an unpredictable tragectory that kept me on edge, and the pay off was powerful…and I love that you opened the door to more potential story. Overall, this was a great demonstration of how effective a storyteller Entropy is when it comes to constructing a narrative, and at finding novelty in every new episode. Rather than stagnating, the BSF and the BWL consistantly manage to adapt and evolve, mining fertile creative ground to create compelling, nuanced, erotica.
I have to say that I am particularly impressed with the boldness of already creating conflict for the Megan/Paul pairing when it’s such a fresh coupling…rather than letting them settle in, the approach here is to demonstrate just how competitive being a couple in the BWL universe is. Megan, coming from a (somewhat) stable relationship isn’t quite prepared for how defensive she has to be to keep a man like Paul. Narratively this is compelling because it creates stakes, drama, and conflict, which is the essense of storytelling. Great work as usual!
I have to admit I was kinda hoping that Megan win this one. Oh well hopefully we’ll get to see more of Megan on the No Holds Bar stage.
It’s nice to see Melanie out again, it’s been far too long since we’ve seen her I almost forgot about her. Mel, like I said about Hani, is one of those characters that is perhaps underutilized but has so much potential for growth. Unlike other characters that are brimming with so much confidence I’m surprised their heads fit through doors, Mel’s self-esteem issues gives her a character that is unique in the BSF. Combine these issues with her sheer ability and you have a character with the potential to be one of the better characters that this site showcases.
Looking forward to the next update!
