    Most of these stories are marked adult and have been described as different and often involve boy toys and a little social commentary. They aren't to everyone's taste but some people enjoy them. They are in British English even if set in North America. If you enjoy one, try another, if they aren't to your taste just move on to a different author. Some are set in Regency England and explore a time when there were many changes over a short period of time. These are very not so mainstream and not quite so light hearted as some of the others.

      I relaxed on the couch watching an illegal show on videotape. “They had such freedom of language back then,” I thought. “I told you to sit, retard,” the man on the screen shouted. Reluctantly plopping down, the other man mumbled, “Faggot.” “We can’t

      Bertie thought long and hard.  Well it wasn’t difficult, he needed lots of processing power when taking off and landing but when cruising between the stars he had plenty of computational power available.  Slow peripherals had always been a bottleneck, he shuddered when he’d read about the first computers using cards for input and paper printers for output.  No his big problem these days was humans.  They were just too slow to type things in, he needed a faster way for input and output.

      Then an idea came to him.  In the sickbay he was monitoring one of the crew who he hadn’t managed to warn fast enough about the danger he was about to step into.  Overnight whilst the nurses and doctors weren’t about he had a pair of
