Reunion is the first of several Riverwild stories. In fact, this is the first story, fiction or otherwise, that I ever wrote.

In retrospect it seems rather brutish and direct. However, it is about a rather brutish and direct experience, so perhaps it works. Please let me know if you think it does or does not. Following the writing of this story I find now myself preoccupied with developing alternative language to the usual "erotic story" vocabulary, or developing a writing style that allows familiar words to be fresh. The usual standbys of erotic lit have become a little worn around the edges for me . We'll see where it goes.

The origin of this story is a character and world that I developed several years ago on a MOO (multi-user simulated environment) back when they were a dramatic experiment in online communities. These were text based worlds where words were king and queen. Unimaginative writers were shunned like lepers, poor souls.MOOs (and MUSHs, and MUSEs, as their variants are called) have waned recently. It is a real shame, as they really are writers' communities.

Building Riverwild's domain was a considerable undertaking; the world included an entire island with extensive descriptions and interactive environments. Glimpses of that world have resurfaced here in the environment of Reunion.

If visitors to Riverwild's aerie were lucky and I was online in the world and not preoccupied with other exploits, they would often find me. It was not an experience that they easily forgot. :)
