Is the subject of hypnosis [[Fetish Fuel]] for you? Then you'll probably like this website. Originally part of the newsgroup alt.sex.stories, it was spun off into its own website in 1996 by a man who calls himself "[[Underdog|Simon Bar Sinister]]". The site contains a huge archive of stories from many, many users, and these stories tend to run the gamut from [[Myth BustersMythBusters|plausible]] to [[Nightmare Fuel|downright bizarre]].
 
Their unifying theme is that they all contain some form of mind control, and that the mind control is somehow used as part of a sexual act. The most common use of mind control on the site is hypnotizing someone, and then using suggestions to make them orgasm while under. Another common use involves hypnotic alternate personality play, where characters in a story think they're sluts, [[Sex Slave]]s, and other stuff like that. We have a trope for the final common use -- [[People Puppets]], combined with [[And I Must Scream]].
Line 12 ⟶ 10:
All the MC stories on the site are categorized. [http://www.mcstories.com/Tags/index.html What's your pleasure?]
 
This site also has an official forum, available [http://www.mcforum.net here], as well as a secondary spinoff forum [https://web.archive.org/web/20140117030111/http://www.mcgarden.org/forum/ here].
 
Quite infamously, fan fiction is banned from the site after Warner Bros. sent a cease and desist letter to the site in 1998. There are a few ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[X-Files]]'' fanfics on the site, but these are legacy fics from before 1998 that weren't affected by the ban; fan fiction hasn't been accepted since.
 
Similarly, [[Transgender]] stories were removed from the archive some time ago, due to the generally correct opinion of the webmaster that [[X Meets Y|Transgender / Mind Control fiction]] tends to use MC to enforce gender play, at which point the MC is more or less dropped.
 
Despite it having no "fanfics" [[Subverted Trope|in the true sense of the word]], it still generally is a site for ordinary people to post their stories
 
Also, one more note: When direct-linking, it's recommended that you use the "mcstories.com" URL; while the site technically does still exist at [httphttps://archive.is/20130624063505/www.asstr.org/~mcstories its original alt.sex.stories home], that URL is deprecated. [[Word Salad Title|And slightly longer and harder to remember.]]
 
{{tropelist|''...and when I count to 3, you will tell me every single trope this website uses. You will have no memory of this trance. Do you understand?''
:"Yes, Master."}}
 
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: [[Captain Obvious|Gee, I wonder what the stories marked as "MA: Masturbation" contain? =P]]
* [[A God Am I]]: Notably, the origin of the "Master PC" stories about a computer program that lets the user reprogram people.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]] / [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Even ''if'' they're among the most [[Chivalrous Pervert|restrained]] with their abilities.
* [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex]]: Sometimes it's because the writer screwed up (or doesn't mind that what they're describing is unrealistic), sometimes it's because characters have [[Applied Phlebotinum]] that makes it work anyway, and sometimes ''characters'' attempt this and then find out that [[Reality Ensues]] ([[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity]] optional).
Line 32 ⟶ 27:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: A very large chunk of the stories marked "NC: Non-Consensual" revolve around the victim being trapped, aware of their situation but unable to change it.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Frequently
* [[Archive Binge]]: ThereAs of the end of 2021 there are only about 1014,000 stories... ranging from one chapter to ''hundreds'' of chapters.
* [[The Artifact]]: This website has quite a few remnants of its original home at the alt.sex.stories Text Repository:
** Actually it's still hosted with the A.S.S.T.R and is actually just an account under the A.S.S.T.R domain. It uses the A.S.S.T.R Webservers to serve pages. Hence the A.S.S.T.R error messages.
** Whenever you try to access a story that doesn't exist, you get redirected to ASSTR's HTTP 404 page.
** As mentioned above, the website keeps [httphttps://archive.is/20130624063505/www.asstr.org/~mcstories its original URL] as a sort of "alternate" location. Please see above.
** As mentioned in "Department of Redundancy Department", every story on the site is classified as "MC: Mind Control". This dates back to when it was a part of alt.sex.stories. Of course, that website has a much larger focus than the EMCSA, and Simon's aren't the only stories around. This definitely helped in sorting newsgroups. In fact, all of the site's current tags come from an old 'standard' set of tags from that time.
** Actually, not every story has the MC tag. Quite a few don't include it so you may miss out on these stories. Some times the MC is implied but not directly fixated on so the 'MC' tag is omitted to reflect this. It keeps people guessing!
* [[MeAsian LoveGal Youwith LongWhite TimeGuy]]: Some stories have a guy of undisclosed race hooking up with an Asian girl. The guy is presumed to be white.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Many of the "revenge" stories.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Well, this IS a fetish site, after all.
* [[Author Existence Failure]], [[What Could Have Been]]: Well known author Blankpage, who was also a troper, died in early 2010 before finishing his masterpiece ''Chateau [[Darkstalkers|Aensland]]''.
Line 45 ⟶ 41:
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: Stories in which the heroine (or hero) succumbs to the [[Obviously Evil]] mind controller and ends up a [[Sex Slave]] are fairly common.
** Played with in the Super Hero category. At least one villain has the super heroines continue defending the world and another has a super heroine mind control a super villainess into becoming a hero.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Because Mind Controllers are often [[Jackass Genie]]s.
* [[BiggusBigger DickusIs Better in Bed]]: Well, it is a porn site. Sometimes they actually do cause problems for characters who both [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex|failed Sex Ed]] (and whose authors didn't) and lack the magic or ]][[Applied Phlebotinum]] to make them practical.
* [[Bikini Bar]]: One story centers about a guy getting his money "back" from girls at a bar he used to frequent, [[If You Know What I Mean|with interest]].
* [[Brainwashed]]: Another obvious trope use.
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Oddly enough, the stories marked "BD: Bondage and/or Discipline" [[Subverted Trope|don't feature this trope as much as you'd think]].
** At least, not with physical bonds. Instead, people will be [[Mind Rape|hypnotized into thinking they're tied up]].
* [[Biggus Dickus]]: Well, it is a porn site. Sometimes they actually do cause problems for characters who both [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex|failed Sex Ed]] (and whose authors didn't) and lack the magic or ]]Applied Phlebotinum]] to make them practical.
* [[Bikini Bar]]: One story centers about a guy getting his money "back" from girls at a bar he used to frequent, [[If You Know What I Mean|with interest]].
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Lots of stories involve turning people into these. It's referred to on the forum as "bimboization". [[Dumb Blonde|Blonde hair]] is optional, but common.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Some stories, especially those marked as "GR: growth or enlargement of bodies and parts" There's also "LA: Lactation".
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Several references to women being more attractive due to their breast size. This even has a sub-section of the site: the GR: growth or enlargement of bodies and parts tag.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: For legal reasons, trademarked characters are not allowed to be used in stories, except for a few stories that were there before the ban was imposed. As a result, you'll see characters that are exactly the same as, say, [[Wonder Woman]], but with a different name.
* [[Color -Coded for Your Convenience]]: The links to stories on the site have a different color underline that gives a general indication of what category a story falls under, such as male or female-dominant in a het fic, or [[Ho Yay|which]] [[Les Yay|gender]] if it's a gay story. If the story contains none or many of these tags, there's a fifth catch-all color for it.
** To be more specific:
*** {{color|white|green|'''Green: female dominant.'''}}
Line 65 ⟶ 61:
* [[The Conspiracy]]: All sorts, including [[Ancient Conspiracy]], [[Government Conspiracy]], [[Nebulous Criminal Conspiracy]], and others that don't necessarily fit into one of these categories. Not all of them are actually evil, though, and some even [[We Help the Helpless|help the helpless]].
* [[A Chat with Satan]]: Generally, ''[[The Erotic Mind Control Story Archive]]'' has people with powers coming to (female) psychologists to [[This Is My Story|tell their stories]]. Because the site is highly detrimental to free will, this usually ends in clients enslaving/[[Mind Rape|Mind Raping]] the shrink after they've got everything off their chests.
** In the end chapter of ''[http://www.mcstories.com/SlavePit/SlavePit9.html The Slave Pit]'', a man is responsible for turning a big chunk of the female population into [[Sex Slave|subserventsubservient slaves for any other male]], mostly [[For the Evulz]]. However, he realizes after he becomes more mature that this process is [[Captain Obvious|actually harmful for women's rights]], and goes to a famous study of the "Slut phenomenon" and how to undo some of its harmful effects. The twist is she turns out to be "[[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|The Devil's Daughter]]". [[Break the Haughty]] ensues.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: [[Captain Obvious|Gee, I wonder what the stories marked as "MA: Masturbation" contain? =P]]
* [[Dead Fic]] / Orphaned Series: Far too many.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Every single fic on the site is labeled as "MC: Mind Control". For the main reason why, see "The Artifact". Also, it helps make the stories easier to sort; since it can be used as a catch-all, the servers don't need an extra algorithm to show all - just use the same stuff to sort things like ft and mm.
* [[Dirty Mind Reading]].
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Never piss off a mind controller.
* [[Doorstopper]]: Many, most notably ''Tim, the Teenage Mind Controller''.: 22 chapters, each of which the size of a short story, written over 11 years, with plans to continue updating it soon.
** And plenty of others.
* [[Emotion Bomb]]: The "lust" version has obvious applications; others may be useful as well.
* [[Exact Words]]: Many mind controllers learn the hard way to be very, very careful about what orders they give.
Line 77 ⟶ 73:
* [[Fetish Fuel Future]].
* [[Fighting From the Inside]].
* [[Freak Lab Accident]]: The origin story for so many mind controllers.
* [[Furry Fandom]]: Only 3891 stories are(and thisonly trope assix of Marchthem 19,gay 2010.male Therefurry arestories) alsowere nothis gaytrope maleas furryof storiesDecember 5,, 2021.
* [[Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul]]: what happens when controllers use [[More Than Mind Control]] to make sure their victims find [[Happiness in Slavery]]. Depressingly common.
* [[A God ModeAm SueI]]: LotsNotably, the origin of the controllers,"Master mildlyPC" temperedstories onlyabout bya [[Icomputer Thoughtprogram Everyonethat Couldlets Dothe That!]]user reprogram people.
* [[God Mode Sue]]: Lots of the controllers, mildly tempered only by [[I Thought Everyone Could Do That]].
* [[Guy-On-Guy Is Hot]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|All of the fics marked as "MM:Male/Male Sex", natch!]]
* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|All of the fics marked as "FF: Female/Female Sex", natch!]]
* [[Gone Horribly Right]].
* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: When the controlled enjoy it.
* [[Het Is Ew]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. Heterosexual stories (those labeled "MF: male-female sex") outnumber homosexual stories by almost a 2-to-1 margin. (As of MarchDecember 195, 20102021, there are 49,789319 stories with heterosexual sex.) However, do keep in mind that the numbers for this trope as well as "Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls" below are unreliable. The FF, MF, and MM categories are not mutually exclusive, and some stories on the site are classified into more than one of these three categories.
* [[Horny Devils]].
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Many stories involve someone getting [[Psychic Powers]] from a head injury or other accident. I'll give you one guess as to who ends up being the first person to be affected by those powers.
Line 92 ⟶ 89:
* [[Hypno Fool]]: Some stories, typically those with stage hypnosis.
* [[Hypnotize the Princess]]: And then have one's way with her.
* [[I Thought Everyone Could Do That!]]: Most [[God Mode Sue]] controllers that get more awesome powers than any other member of some [[Ancient Conspiracy]] group, will think their powers are between low and average, that it's easy for them and suchthus should be as easy for others.
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: So you meet some stranger who you think is really, really hot. The two of you go rent a motel room and have a night of really, really good sex, and then go your separate ways, never regretting any of it for the rest of your life. Does it really matter that your attraction was caused by [[Applied Phlebotinum]] instead of something more mundane?
** Often overlaps with [[RapeDouble IsStandard OKRape When(Sci It's Sci-Fi)]].
** Sometimes subverted: even if the victims enjoy it (physically), some of them will be hurt to the core by the fact that, emotionally, they can't stop the abuse.
* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: Enhanced through mind control, even.
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]].
Line 102 ⟶ 99:
* [[Just Between You and Me]]: Some mind controllers give their subjects a detailed description of the fate that awaits them, either as a form of post-hypnotic suggestion or simply as foreplay.
* [[Lolicon]]: Mostly averted. There used to be a Pedophilia category, but the category, and subsequently the stories, were purged over a decade ago, most likely due to [[Paedo Hunt|this trope]]. There are still a number of stories set in and around high school.
* [[Love Is in the Air]]: And so are pheronomes.
* [[Love Potion]]: Some even work exactly the way the user wanted them to!
* [[Mad Scientist]]: If your story requires a [[Mind Control Device]], this is the go-to guy.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: There's a user named [http://www.mcstories.com/Authors/Jukebox.html Jukebox] whose stories are all named after songs. And those songs themselves are an indicator as to what the story is about.
* [[Me Love You Long Time]]: Some stories have a guy of undisclosed race hooking up with an Asian girl. The guy is presumed to be white.
* [[Misapplied Phlebotinum]]: Given the premise of the site, this is somewhat inevitable. At the end of one story,
* [[Mind Control Device]].
Line 112 ⟶ 108:
* [[Mind Over Manners]]: Generally not used. Lose a fight with a mind controller, and you're almost certainly ''not'' going to be yourself afterward, even if said mind controller isn't evil.
* [[Mind Rape]]: Some stories, especially those with so-called "hypnodommes".
* [[Morality Chain]]: What keeps some of these worlds tofrom faceproceeding from [[Fetish Fuel Future]]s to [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]
* [[More Than Mind Control]].
* [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted.]] There are only a few known female writers; this is most likely due to the tendency of males to be more forward with their fetishes than females. The [[Yaoi Fangirl]] subtrope of this trope is [[Averted Trope|averted]], as there is a section labeled "MM: Male/Male Sex", but gay stories on the site (8401,554 as of MarchDecember 195, 20102021) are outnumbered by lesbian stories (25,569240 as of the same date). See also "Het is Ew" above.
* [[Narm]]: Some stories harken back to all those horror movies of the 1950's that many real-life hypnotists [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|wish never existed]].
* [[NSFW]]: Make no mistake: '''This is an erotica (read: Porn) site.''' Over 99% of the stories on the site include sex, and the other ones imply sex.
* [[People Puppets]]: The other half of the NC section (unofficially termed "BC" -- body control -- by the fanbase) revolves around people being forced to watch / feel / etc. as their body goes off and does it'sits own thing, often at the direct command of someone else.
* [[PlotPorn Withwith PornPlot]]: Because of the erotica nature of the site, MC stories that have little porn or a lot of plot often warn readers about this fact, so you'll get your [[A Date with Rosie Palms|fapping]] done elsewhere.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: One older story, ''Tales of the Institute'', has a chapter in which the heroine gains the ability to read minds... but then her mind changes to match what other people ''think'' she is like. In other words, it's the complete ''[[Deconstruction|opposite]]'' of the standard trope used most of the stories.
** A more standard example is "I Volunteered". Because of a medical experiment, any woman who smells the main character's pheromones ends up an addicted sex slave incapable of living a normal life - so all he can do is seclude himself and hope that his [[Unwanted Harem]] doesn't end up getting any bigger.
Line 133 ⟶ 129:
* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: Often [[Applied Phlebotinum|Phlebotinumally induced, in fact.]]
* [[Three-Way Sex]]: And it doesn't always stop at three.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Ironically, even though this is a very common feature of the hypnoplay that the site's users engage in, only 3159 actual stories (as of AprilDecember 125, 20102021), all of which are marked "TS: time stop", feature this trope.
** While TimeStandsStillTime Stands Still as a hypnotic suggestion is used, TS stories are literal uses of TimeStandsStillTime Stands Still -- there being much overlap between the Time Stop fetish (Yes, it exists) and Hypnosis Fetishes, apparently.
* [[TV Genius]].
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Not everyone with a harem of enslaved beauties planned on it. Perhaps you rescued them from someone who was using their talents for evil, or you have [[Power Incontinence]] and anyone who gets near you falls under your spell, or your first slave decides to go "recruiting" without your permission, or something else happens, and now you have to deal with all these people who are calling you "Master", say that they love you, and get very upset if you tell them to go away.
