Very interesting storyline, great writing just sad there’s no more to read!

I don't know how you think up these plots, or these names. Top notch writing and a lot of fun, especially for a vigilante themed story. Looking forward to your next story.

The ethnicity of the writing is inconsistent. In 2 or 3 places. Most of the story the English is perfect. More in line with educated people. Then creeps in “Where you went?”. I can’t remember the other two places. I like to picture the characters in my mind, and this confused my images. Anyway, good otherwise.

What an interesting story. Not my usual read, but you lead me right into it. I for one would like to read more of their future story, like who gets preggers first, do they go on the Honeymoon together, do they move in together in Stamps big pad. Five stars, and thank you for it.

Awesome story -- except what's with the "Stamp" name (ha, ha). 5* from Amy.

Definitely not the usual LW story, which is a good thing. Great read, easy 5*

You really do write some seriously good stuff!!

WOW Totally different story to ones I like but very readable Not usually into this type of story BUT you made it seem ok (jaybee186)

I think these characters are worth following in their developing relationships.

I would very happily read another twenty or thirty pages of your writing about these characters. So good!

Good story, just not a LW story though.

Loved it!

Powerful, there has to be a second chapter to this story. I love all three characters.

Great characters in a great story.

Hooked

I had to re-read this story.

It got under my skin and always felt like something was missing.

It wasn't, it was just such an intriguing story, with what felt like characters that actually knew.

A remarkable story, describing, there's more to life than breathing.

Beautifully told.

Adored it....

Character driven — enough said.

Fuckin' A - this was wonderful!

That was wow… I’ve never seen an author put together a poly relationship like this! You did a fantastic job developing the villain sweet on 2 nerds. I really don’t know how to put this into words but I’m not generally someone who is interested in nor likes reading about Polly lifestyle. But you pulled me into this story and made me want to see this poly relationship work really bad. The one thing I really wanted to see more of was dangled in front of me, the villain!

A really fun read.

I loved the way you developed the whole story.

At the risk of seeming shallow and nonintellectual, I have to say that was some incredibly skillful writing! A very enjoyable glimpse at polyamory relationships.

I enjoyed the fu.. heck out of that.

For me, this is a pu,zler, I like the vast proportion of Randi stories that I like/live. Frankly, I found myself skimming some, which is a bad sign. My first inclination was four stars, but on further consideration, it's three. Just too weird for my tastes.wfiting was very competent, of course.

JPB NOT BOB

Not wild about the story, but the writing is absolute bliss. You play with the language, it is a real pleasure to read. Thank you for writing and posting.

Very different, but an enjoyable read. Not a lifestyle I'm familiar with, nor would want to be familiar with. Nevertheless, delving into their personalities IS up my alley. I enjoyed how each of the three interacted together - and how open they were in exposing their values to each other. In many ways, Nasha and Kaplan imposed their values onto Stamp - and Stamp allowed it to happen because of their kindness and love. 4/5 BRB

And again, you have graced us with a near masterpiece. I say near only because I use the unqualified term for authors on the level of Shakespeare and above.

Thank you! I can’t wait to read more about these characters!

Very nice story, thanks a lot! I would like to read more about these characters.

You always amaze me! 5 stars here

Love your style and storylines. PLEASE continue writing. I binge read everything you have written in the first weekend after I found your stories. You are one of the authors that I reread your stories when I can.

Thanks Randi, for a change of pace. Nice to be taken away from all the cheating wife/husband stories.

This is a lovely story. I got incredibly nervous that Stamp was going to fuck up two very sweet and lovable characters. Nice work balancing that tension. Redemption and love is something I always love to read.

As alway, it was flawlessly written, and an excellent read. But I’m just not accepting of polyamory as a normal relationship. Great work, but I didn’t really like this one.

Magical description of a fascinating young woman and her partners in life

I always look forward to your anthologies you and others take the reader and put him or her outside their comfort zone. In other words you force the reader to think which very few authors on here are able to do. No disrespect intended there are some good writers on here but I think many are cowed (Merriam-Webster dictionary cowed; cowing; cows. transitive verb. : to destroy the resolve or courage of. also : to bring to a state or an action by intimidation.) Which is a great pity! Please continue with these events I always know I'm in for some good thought provoking stories sadly it's rarely seen on this site.

Thanks so very much for this little escape from the daily grind! Maybe I could leave you with a little smile in thanks

Do you know the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

The people from Dubai do not like the Flintstones. But the people from Abu Dhabi do!

Thanks for taking me somewhere splendid where I didn’t realize I wanted to go. Great MCs that I would love to visit with again, if the muse shares any of their further adventures with you. Right now I’m going for a walk around a local lake, with some Vigilante Shit thrumming in my AirPods. 5*

Exceptionally well written. Being a two-some is damn hard at times, being a three-some is many times more devilishly difficult but doable if the trust is never threatened. Experience is a thing.

wicked games, thank you for such a wonderful treat. Plus you and your gang of fellow writers are legends!!!

Great and very different tale, Randi. I was hoping Stamp wouldn’t mess things up for them but you took a couple of turns and it became different than what I expected due to the category. Very tricky and very well done! 5*. Thanks for the story, for putting together the event, and for the invite.

Great, complex character depth with Stamp. 4.5*

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice.

That was quite the wicked game, good story.

Excellent, and original. Slight continuity error, Nasha's major somehow changes from English to Econ on page 3, but, so what? This story is great regardless.

Your buildup made it real. Thanks...

After seeing the high rating this story was getting, and then reading the intro to this story, I was looking forward to something that was going to be a much better than average story. This did not turn out the way I expected. I had trouble following the characters on the first page, trying to figure out who was who and their relationships, even re-reading parts over several times. Relationships became more clear as I worked my way down the page, but, I found the dialogue to be unnatural. By the end of the first page, I found I had not read anything that made me interested in these characters or what might be happening. Nothing interesting had occurred, no narrative hook to develop the story. That's a serious problem for a short story that 1/3 of the way in the writer hasn't drawn the reader in to find out what happens next. Honestly, I just skimmed the rest. Doesn't look to me like anything ever did happen in the story. I have seen this a few times in other stories where a seemingly good writer has no conflict to resolve. The grammar seemed good I guess if I was looking for a positive, as I am assuming the speech patterns of the characters is a purposeful decison by the writer. I am not trolling, but I can't say that I enjoyed a story that I had to slog through and then gave up on. Possibly the fault is mine as I don't know the rules for Wicked Game stories, and maybe they are not supposed to have narrative conflict? A lot of people loved this story so I am guessing I am the exception that is being too dense to see something, but I honestly can't figure what people liked about this story.

Clarification, I just checked, and Randi is on my list of a dozen favorited authors. This particular story just didn't work for me.

Damn. It's been a while since Ive read a good poly romance. Understandably give the nature of this site, most writers focus of the sexual side and ignore the emotional, so read this is like a breath of fresh air. Ive also always loved the teddy bear and bad bitch trope, so this really does hit all my weak spots. My only complaint ia that its only 3 pages long. Its truly an amazing story with amazing characters and I would glad read an entire full length series based on this 3. 5 very well earned stars.

I liked the story. I have three comments:

1. Nobody called "Kaplan" should comment on other people's names.

2. Next time choose a country in Africa. MCs shouldn't have generic origins.

3. Whew! I thought you were going to kill off Nasha (sorry, but with so many stories running the same old clichés...)

The names are unique.

A fun read, but at some level it didn’t make sense for me. Let me explain. The moment where I got left out was the moment where Nash’s agrees to destroy an academic’s career with dirty tricks without being really clear as to why he is blocking her way. And not just her, but we readers. This is the problem of the unreliable narrator. Even in academentia, people have to have reasons and to be able to back them up with evidence. Tracy thinks she plagiarized? Ask for the evidence. He has to deliver. The defence committee would demand it. A serious allegation needs serious evidence. And a professorial ”fit of pique” does not cut it as a reason here.

.

Second, Nasha’s response to the idea of destroying a man’s reputation? Maybe he deserves it. Maybe not. But we have no idea. And can she get what she wants without going nuclear? Because I don’t know. The lack of a thought process here is a little frustrating and disturbing. The worry is that Stamp will “corrupt the innocents” because she takes what she wants. Part of Stamp’s attraction to Kaplan and Nash’s is that innocence. You deliberately destroy a person’s life because they are blocking you WITHOUT clear evidence of malice? That is heavy karma there. Why did Nasha go straight for the nuclear response offered by Stamp? What happened to even a token of, “Do we really need to do that to get the result we want?” That appears to go against Nasha’s approach to life.

.

Maybe it doesn’t; but that requires more foundation building the story line. The broad strokes of “she had a hard life” is not enough, to carry the weight of that decision to deliberately destroy someone. And it is consequential. As it is, there is a strange lack of tension that such a choice and what it implies for their relationship and sense of selves would mean. After all, it is a corruption of innocence on a cosmic scale, in the universe of three.

Your stories hit different. You effortlessly bridge the gap between your world and that of the reader. I’m not sure if it’s you or your alter ego, but she mightily shines through in your writing.

I consider myself basically conventional, yet I’m deeply attracted to the idea of three’s. My normally insecure side skips right past the potential for jealously and sees as an increase in safety and solidity. I don’t understand it, but something about it is powerful.

I tried to vote and give it 5 stars but for some reason I can’t rate a story anymore.

Works for me. As I get older my thoughts and ideas of a relationship have morphed into what brings joy and happiness. Some types of individuals can thrive in a three way situation Also doesn't hurt comprehension when a skilled story teller does what you have here. Love your work and wish I was half as good telling stories..... TFS

Did you name this character after the Muay Thai fighter Stamp Fairtex? She’s quite the badass in her own right

Randi. Thank you for your time and effort on this site. Very appreciated.

I really like this author, but this story was really hard to get into and even at the end, I didn't like any of the characters. Good writer though.

Excellent writing! Very skilled author. This was not her best work. It was good, mind you! The characters were just not....mmmm....it felt off to me. Not that the characters were bad, just couldn't really follow them and get engaged.

All said and done you get 4.5 stars!

Sincerely,

Payenbrant

Such an enjoyable read. Mature emotional responses coupled with great natural dialogue and believable characters.

Can I have some more please 🙏

Very unusual story, for me, and the characters were equally unusual. I really liked it once I got into it. Definitely not my typical Literotica fare.

Wonderful tone and style, and as a reader it's wonderful to get carried away by an author who is in complete control.

Love almost everything you write!

Even though the sex is minimal, I found the story engaging and well written, and I gave it a solid five stars. But the story is far from perfect.

.

I agree with onlythelonelylove's damning critique of the ethics of Stamp's revenge against the professor. And the karate chop to his neck was both inexcusable and a serious felony--and Stamp is a lawyer! I think the cause of this bizarre plot turn is the author's decision to closely follow Taylor Swift's simplistic, revenge-soaked, melodramatic song. I'm a Swift fan, but I think this is a terrible song. Given Stamp's elite background, personal history, social skills, and social connections, I'd hope for a much less crude and lurid means of changing the professor's mind about Nasha. In fact I'm surprised that the highly ethical Nasha and Kaplan were not revolted by Stamp's vengeance.

.

To conclude on a positive note, though: It was fun seeing quotations from the song sprinkled about the story. And I greatly enjoyed the story's ending with happy polyamory and a loving sexual threesome.

That was a HELLUVA story. Took me to a place I've never lived and enveloped me in it. A level of writing skill I may have seen in few famous authors imo. Specfuckingtacular.

I have to agree with a previous post that a vague claim of plagiarism, offered without specific evidence, would hold any water in today's academic environment. The only scenario I could envision in which that might work would be that of a power differential between the accused and the student's major professor, who could be too meek to complain to unleash the hounds of a campus-level ethics investigation. There are so many other, simpler ways to delay and make miserable a student's path to a successful dissertation defense.

As well, the "party with undergrads" behavior is, by itself, pretty much a hard stop for any faculty or administrator today.

Stamp, as well as the genetically blessed couple, were interesting characters, presented well.

"You reap what you sow" a wonderfully poetic typo? that tickled me. Refreshingly different and unpredictable. Thank you.

Interesting characters, very well written, one of the great stories. Loved it. 5*

No typo there. "Sow" (verb) means to plant seeds.

5 stars. Enjoyable read. I'd like to read more about these fascinating characters. Question: was Nasha an English or an economics major?

That’s damned good stuff. Your characters are always vibrant, it’s like the story is only background to their experience.

@dunmovyniv, I had no issues with the dialog. To my eyes it seemed to flow back and forth seamlessly.

\

@Crusader, I don't know about the Honeymoon or pregnancy, but I can't see why they wouldn't move into Stamp's pad.

\

@onlythelonelylove, the prof was easing into accusing her of plagiarism. "he is sure I have stolen my research and he's seen it before." He didn't have the balls to outright accuse her,and present evidence, because he had none. Given his proclivities, he might be thinking of getting into her pants. As for backing up his accusations, he hasn't formally made them yet. Nasha said he was "dragging his feet," presumably as he searched for "evidence." As for deserving it, he's a drug user who uses his position to seduce undergrads!

\

Five stars, but as for wanting more, I would have liked to see more about what was going on with Jeremiah and how she took down the prof - besides the conclusion, obviously!

As always very well written

💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🙋🙋🙋🤷🍺🍺🍺🍕🍕🍕🤷

That's a great 5* story. Everyone needs either a Stamp or a Randi in their lives. But there aren't enough to go round. :)

I honestly don't know who else could have written this story.

To say it's offbeat, original, irreverent, and even slightly schizoid I think be a collection of understatement.

Yes, I'm a Randi fan, and like a few other of the great LW writers, use a different measure to comment on the stories posted under that name, and this one gets five stars from here also, like almost all of the others.

Thanks for this intriguing story of a character I hope to see in more stories... Stamp Fairtax !

One for some reason I didn't care for. Thank you for writing.

Another 5 star randi story

Excellent (!)

Interesting story, well written and maybe just a bit in left field. I found it interesting in how it worked out for the three of them and maybe they each offset the other. Well, maybe it might take the two of them to offset Stamp, but it's all good.

This story seemed a bit disjointed, but as if it were deliberately show. Frenetic could be a good word. Don't know if just anyone could pull it off, but this is Blackrandl1958 we're discussing.

Great as always.

Really loved it ! I could see it in my mind like " In like Flint" with a female lead.

The dialogue is too much . Most of it is unnecessary. Narration would have allowed a smoother story.

who had the nice granddaughters? were these ppl old enough to have granddaughters. idk think i got lost here

I have to agree with East Coaster and Lovecraft. I don't know who else could have written this story, and we are talking about Randi. These characters couldn't exist anywhere but in her world, and I get the feeling she could be either of the women in this story. This is a unique talent, and I, for one, am in awe. I don't know anyone like any of these people, but I would like to.

blackrandl1958 is always entertaining. Her stories are well constructed and written with imagination and style. 5 stars, of course.

Wicked. How many nice couples do you meet that want to include you in their intimate commitment to exclusivity? Unexpected normalcy? (Kismet?)

Delicious!

I always enjoy all ur stories. But this is the 1st time i feel like there should have been more ? Kinda left hanging. Bit i did enjoy all there was.

I don't care if it's good or bad, it's a Randi story! 5 stars no matter what. I'm finna bae.

Damn girl! That was wonderfully hot! I am 77 and by the end of the tale was revved up! Thanks once again Randy for one of your most wonderful scribbles, you are in the very top elite of Lit. authors and whenever I see your name on a story I know that I will be feeling just so good after the read.

The hardest part of growing up: Learning respect, trust, and boundaries. The sad part is that all three seem to be in short supply, usually.

Smokin'!!!!

Wow! I'd love to read more about our favorite throple (?)...Triade. Definitely the story that defines what 5 stars are for. Thank you Randi!

The last time I was wading in the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of about four feet, I suddenly found myself in a deep rip current, struggling for my very life! After realizing I was in true peril, first one and then a second life-guard saved my life and rescued me from the ocean. Essentially, this is how I view your protagonist in this fascinating tale!

Randi, I have never read one of your stories that disappointed me. CINCO ESTRELLAS!
