A story that can make you laugh out loud while remaining hot. And of course every writer will identify.
This one is more polished, with no distracting grammar or spelling errors. (If there are a couple, they didn't catch my eye; that's what counts.)
The eroticism was toned down, possibly to keep the story fresh and funny. So that's good. But I don't think it can be 10/10 without being a bit more horn-inducing. (9/10)

- I would hope that you would understand that what happens between an artist and his muse is really a private affair. Blue happens to be very shy about such matters and I'm just not the type to flick and flutter about and then announce it to the whole world. What kind of pervert do you take me for? Besides the story's more about Jinn and me, Blue just got stuck in the middle (did I say that?).

I loved the narrative structure, the tone, the fairy wing flutter technique, the drunken Genie and of course the trap recipe. Then, I could not help thinking that the protagonist got off extremely lucky in his risky endeavour, messing around with the twilight people like this. Or maybe I have been reading too much of Eoin Colfer's 'Artemis Fowl' series lately... (9/10)

- Truth be told the Fey folk rarely do treat me this well, but it be fiction so I gentled their temperament a bit for the readers enjoyment. Also to give proper credit, Jinn is much more instructive than vindictive so things didn't go as far as they seemed in what we laughingly call reality. Still your point is well taken, Should you make a sticky mess of that many Fairies' wings there would be hell to pay, no matter how great the need or cause.

Trust Mad Lews to attempts something new. Interesting little ditty.
(Metaphor perhaps?)
Hope the author will move on to something more substantial.
Rule of Three is acctually rule of FIVE (4. no more wishes. 5.don't trust the Genie anyway. (8/10)

- Sorry you were not A-MUSED. Rules are rules and three it is, 'sides if you can't trust a drunken Genie who can you trust?

- My goodness M'lord, a nine from thee. You must be mellowing with the approach of age. Either that or you've become inured to my scribbling and were seduced by the promise of something more mainstream (for this site) in the future. I should warn you even as a sadist I can be "amusingly quirky in a bizarre kind of way".

- Sadistic and quirky are a good mix. This piece demonstrates unquestioned mastery of the quirky. Now show me sadistic! :-)

- Your wish, my command or something like that. Now let me see if I can find that damn muse. I know I left her around here somewhere.
