oh my god, this was adorable.
thanks so much to loederkoningin for writing a review for it, so i could read it myself, because it is 19 pages of awesome!
and i don't get to say that about a lot of the stuff i read just because i cannot believe it is real; all the monster erotica and lactation erotica and hucow erotica.
this is real.
and it barely even qualifies as erotica.
so, yeah, this is a story about a shapeshifter who goes man-to-hamster. which must be kind of disappointing. because - yayyy - yo...more
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals!
This 19 pages short story is about a gay hamster lusting after the boy that bought him at the petstore and eventually ends up having sex with him.
It's not what you think!
I swear to God, I draw the line somewhere...but apparently just not at hamster sex.
And why would I? For this is a mean, vengeful hamster. And more importantly, a shape-shifter. You see, the hamster in this story is actually a hot boy. Poor Marcin, that's his name, was just nom nom nomm...more

Absolutely brilliant! I am still laughing. This is one of the funniest and most creative stories I have read in a long time. And it's a sweet love story on top. What more can you ask for?
I mean, the idea of a hamster shifter is funny enough, but to actually read about this guy's thoughts while he is in hamster form was hilarious. The story opening got me right there: "Marcin sat in the corner glaring at the two hamsters on the other side of the cage. If hamsters could kill with a glance, the lit...more

Ok, I was going through the GR recommendations and this weird hamster picture jumps out at me. Of course, I had to click on it and peruse this oddity further. Turns out it's an extremely short novella about a... hamster shifter??? Make that a gay hamster shifter. What?? Bunnies be damned - Laurenston's Sara Morrighan would be proud!
This is a freebie story and so I thought WTH - no harm, no foul, right? Well, it was amusingly cute (as only hamsters can be) and the M/M romance that blossomed over...more

This was my first of many things - first time using scribd.com, first reeeeeeally short story that's non-anthology, first m/m (!!), and, most awesome of all, first HAMSTER SHIFTER. "Caged" was a super quick and funny read that should easily lift anyone's spirits in the span of 17 pages. Marcin (our hamster shifter) is awesome, and his hilarious and snarky stream-of-consciousness inner monologue while in hamster form had me alternately smirking, chuckling and laughing out loud. Give it a shot - h...more

I might have liked this better if it hadn't had serious formatting issues, randomly changing fonts several times per page, often in the middle of a word. And it could've used some editing -- there were words missing and extra words, as if changes had been made incompletely. But I guess mostly it just wasn't the kind of humor that appeals to me, because I barely cracked a smile. A guy sitting around and fuming because he's been trapped in a cage in his hamster shape is just not my idea of hilario...more

Caged is a very cute free short read that had me laughing throughout the story. It's about Marcin, a hamster shifter who is caught in hamster shape and shipped to a pet store. There he waits, plotting his revenge on the various employees for leaving him locked up in a cage with the other annoying hamsters. Marcin is snarky, bad-tempered and arrogant and dreams of when he can escape because he is unable to shift back to human form when he is caged.

Although I would have freaked if my hamster girl Jette had shifted...

Thought this story was funny, entertaining, and adorable. Marcin is visiting in Europe. He's minding his own business sniffing around at the ground, he's a Hamster/Human Shifter, with some other hamsters when Wham! He gets caught inside a box and carted off somewhere. After a while he finds himself being put into a cage at a pet store back in the U.S. You might ask why he doesn't just change back into a human. Well he can't change until he gets to put all four feet on the ground.

I expected the worst from this book. Seriously, a hamster shifter? WTF? A GAY HAMSTER SHIFTER? Double WTF!?! To my delight, this short story which easily takes less than 10 minutes to read is good. The writing was tight. Sticking to one POV was pleasurable.
Marek, er Marcin was so darn funny. He's a snarky vengeful little bugger. Hamilton is a sweet sweet guy. This story felt like tongue in cheek for me the entire time. I like it! Maybe Ms. Ames will read this review and write about this storylin...more

He leaned down and nuzzled Hamilton's crotch through the paisley boxers. Oh, that smelled great; he was hungrier for cock than he was for a nice juicy steak. Food could wait.
Okay, I get you've been in abstinence for a while, but food always comes first. Always.
Anyhow, I expected this to be cleverer, funnier, and more satisfying overall.

What a cute little story. I never imagined a hamster shifter and I think the author did a great job with it.
That was just so cute and funny!
Very enjoyable short story. Marcin was hilarious in his hamster rage and even when plotting heinous revenges against the people at the pet store, you still wanted to hug him and call him 'cutie wootie'. It would have made for an interesting story if it had been longer, detailing the time Marcin and Hamilton spent together and the shifter's history.
But this was endearing nonetheless. Just the thing to put a smile on your face!

Well, yes, it isn't as if this wasn't said before, but I can't resist. A HAMSTER shifter, of all things, and one who's anything but cute, to booth. From all I know about hamsters, I'd say the author portrayed this animal's personality perfectly - they're quite fierce, mean, vindictive little beasts.
I couldn't believe a hamster shifter could work, but he does just perfectly here. An entertaining, hilarious and yes, erotic story. Don't miss it!

It really was a mistake on my part when I picked this short story to read. Really I don`t know where my head was... maybe thinking about a cute guy I`ve seen, but that still doesn`t make up for me picking this story to read.
I`ve got nothing against the story, it was funny and entertaining and everything a short romantic comedy story must be. I really can see this made in a really short movie, maybe with some little scene at the end with Marcin beating the store clercks.
I sure laught my ass off....more

When I stumbled across this free short story about a hamster shapeshifter I just couldn't resist reading it. At only 19 pages it is a very quick read & I found it amusing.
Poor Marcin ends up being trapped in has hamster form and put on sale in a pet shop but who will end up taking him home? You'll have to read it for yourself to find out!

How funny. A were-hamster? This was a short read, but super cute. Marcin/Marek (yes, there's a reason he has two names) is a wild-caught hamster who ends up in a pet store talking trash about the non-shifter hamsters and the store employees. Hot guy Hamilton buys him and takes him home, talking to him and watching tv in his underwear. What better start for a romance? Definitely worth the five minutes it took to read.
Okay, here is the thing. This is a very short story. It is about a hamster shifter. It is MM (male-male). It is erotica. If you go into this expecting anything other than all of the above, you will probably end up confused and/or appalled.
That said, this was funny as hell. I literally laughed out loud at multiple parts. I will probably smile when I see a hamster for a very long time just thinking of this. Loved it.

Okay, I guess I'm the asshole. Everyone seemed to like this, but me. I realize it's not meant to be serious, and it's supposed to be fully of humour and silliness. But it's also chock full of stupid and I couldn't get past it. I admit I laughed a couple times, but I spent most of the story with a disgusted sneer on my face.

Oh my Gosh. Sweet Lord what in the world did I just read? This was HILARIOUS. I mean seriously, even the blurb was good for the laughs. But the story? Oh my holy shit.
I was seriously expecting something hilarious, but still a sweet and innocent romance.
Imagine how bloody scarred I was when they had sex.
All I could think was, OMG A HAMSTER IS HAVING SEX. NO. PLEASE. STOP, IT HURTS. OH JESUS. MY INNOCENCE.
A big dog (wolf, blah) shifter having sex? Psht, bring it on.
A big cat (lion, panther, blah)?...more

This was a very cute and highly original story. I feel a little guilty for adoring Marcin's helpless frustration while he was stuck in a cage in hamster form, especially since that would probably make him want to sic a Rottweiler on me; I love Rotties! It was a sweet and funny story.
Okay, I keep getting side-tracked. This was 19 pages of funny. if you can't handle an angsty, snarky hampster-shifter with a bad attitude, do 't read this. If this sound entertaining, I hope this link will take you to this free read. http://www.scribd.com/doc/34431915/Caged
"Now that there was the possibility of gay porn in his future he was a happy hamster."
I thought this was a joke when it popped up in my news feed as being read by a couple people I follow. It was amusing and unique, worth the few minutes it will take to read it.

This was the first story I ever read by Tam Ames and it took only a few paragraphs to hook me and reel me in. Such a witty, fun-filled little tale. I look forward to whatever Ms. Ames comes up with next, for she definitely thinks outside the cage...errrr... I mean box.
this was way cute, for my heart :))
And i would call Marcin 'cutie wootie' too, and i hope Hammilton would call him that also, it would annoy the shit out of Marcin.
Do please read it, cuz it's funny, and everybody needs a good laugh every now and then.

If you think the hamster-shifting premise is funny, wait til you get to the dialogue. But I think my favorite line in the story is right after the hero regained his human form. "Marcin stood frozen, which seemed to be the hamster response to danger."

I'm a single mom to a great 17 year old daughter, and I have a full-time job as well. I started reading m/m romance about 4 years ago, then went to reviewing and then writing. I still review on my personal site and along with my colleague Jenre on our joint site dedicated to short m/m romance stories. http://briefencountersreviews.com
