CARNIVAL OF SIN
As this week's hostess of Alexa's brainchild, "Carnival of Sin", I present you with the following stories and confessional journal entries of deadly sin:

L U S T

Attack of Godzilla
From Toni of Kaonashi Ga Suki, I almost want to classify this as the sin of envy rather than lust. Anyway, it's a scary gender-table-turner.

Luncheon Special
This Penthouse letteresque story is from RJames of Sinulator Cams.

theron: dirty cleveland
Nice story (with cute pics) from Chad Fox of Stop Touching My Food. This was probably my favorite read out of all the submissions.

The Miss Manners Guide To Casual Sextiquette
Olivia of you look beautiful like that schools the menfolk on proper one-night-stand behavior. I think this should go under the sinful heading of "anger" (or at least righteous indignation), but I guess all of the bad boy behavior she describes qualifies as sins of lust.

The Final Chapter
Hmmm. . . does double penetration count as lust or gluttony? Decide for yourself by reading this one from Nixxx of Bawdy Bits.

Parody of Blog: Episode 5
Don't worry if you've missed the first four episodes. This is a funny introduction to Mad House Madman's Chronicles of a Medical Mad House and to Alexa's blog.

OFFicE RoMaNceS & SeCreT AFFaiRs (Part II)
The beginning of this story acts as a sort of Jack Handey "Deep Thought" (or at least, it worked that way for me but I was feeling sort of punchy when I read it). As it continued I began to imagine "The Hustler" as David Brent in The Office, and this made it funny and worthwhile reading for me.

I guess Mistress Dita's submission is the closest I'm going to get to gluttony (but she calls it lust).

E N V Y

Which Aisle First?
From Jess of Life . . . or Something Like It. He categorized the entry himself as envy, but leaves us wondering if the object of his envy is men with clear complexions and bountiful, bouncin' and behavin' hair.

The List
It's worth surfing around Solana's site, Mexican Mud, a little bit either before or after you read this diary entry. English is not her first language, but that shouldn't hamper your understanding of her writing.

In hosting this Carnival, the most interesting thing has been seeing how the author's categorize their stories and wondering if they actually perceive their emotions and experiences as sinful at all. If you're hankering for more deadly sins, check out this site: Not Proud. And if you want to appear in next week's Carnival of Sin, submit here. I'm going to! But do read the guidelines, one of which is to add a link to the person hosting the carnival.
