The BIG DAY is finally here! After 16 days of alternating between Hypnosis and Muscle Growth stories, today features one of my most favorite topics: Mind-Controlled Muscle! Aside from that, I've posted 2 new muscle morphs, 5 sequenced artworks, 8 hypno sketches, and 10 original stories (including from me that I finished in 12 hours). I've been cramming like crazy to get as much stuff uploaded today, and I still have more drawings to be post on tomorrow!

As always, I would like thank Chad, Changes, and Flexodus for hosting my crap for free , which is a big deal considering how stingy Yahoo Geocities has been with their bandwidth lately.

Finally, thanks to those guys I've chatted with the past year via IM and CYOC especially the ones eager to share their fantasies and stories with me. It's always nice to have something new to talk about. You know who you are.

New stories: My deepest gratitude goes out to cicero, Ikaika, hypnojon32, hyptrance, Luz Rojo, jockmorphr, toddmen8302, and wbhulk for making this day a huge success! I'd like to also mention copsucker_99, svankmaj, and WolfPek for their contributions during the past month.

July Surprise?--Why am I not? [c/o Talking Points Memo]

A third source, an official who works under ISI's director, Lieutenant General Ehsan ul-Haq, informed tnr that the Pakistanis "have been told at every level that apprehension or killing of HVTs [i.e., high-value al Qaida targets] before [the] election is [an] absolute must." What's more, this source claims that Bush administration officials have told their Pakistani counterparts they have a date in mind for announcing this achievement: "The last ten days of July deadline has been given repeatedly by visitors to Islamabad and during [ul-Haq's] meetings in Washington." Says McCormack: "I'm aware of no such comment." But according to this ISI official, a White House aide told ul-Haq last spring that "it would be best if the arrest or killing of [any] HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July"--the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

New Stories: Say hello to the site's two newest hypnosis authors: hypnojon32 who's also into fantasy and superheroes, and toddmen8302 who's also into transformation and muscle growth. You can make them feel more at home by sending them a little note from the feedback forms at the end of their stories. I'm hoping this'll spur more contributions from them in the future.

Spiderrific!--As a long-time Spider-Fan, I absolutely loved this movie, which is a lot more emotional, a lot more exciting, and whole lot more fun than its predecessor. We pick up right where we left off, and it's like the past two years never happened. (Kinda how Shrek 2 did it too.) There were many great moments in the film especially how Sam Raimi and company perfectly portray Peter Parker's perennial problems from living a double life and the exhilirating fight scenes between Spidey and Doc Ock which, despite being conspicuously computer-generated, were well-choreographed and coordinated. As for the cast, Alfred Molina was a wonderful choice to play Dr. Octavius, and Daniel Gillies was just soooo hot as the astronaut son of J. Jonah Jameson. I just don't know how Spider-Man 3's gonna to top this flick, but we're gonna find that out... in three year's time.
