The "Grudgingly Good" rating indicates that I think the story is well written, but that I find some of the elements in the story so disturbing that if I were to review the story based solely on my personal tastes I would give it a "Not Good" rating. The "Not Good" rating indicates that I do not like the story. ***** REVIEWS ----- Rogue Review No. 213 - October 5, 1998 Snake Priestess by Dragonfly F/snake Length: 3,000 words Rating: Very Good SUMMARY A woman tells of how she became the Snake Priestess. COMMENTARY This is a little weird. I did enjoy it. I did find it arousing, but at the same time I could not help but shake my head.

COMMENTARY This is weird. I did not find it arousing, but it did make me wonder about the author. What an imagination! LINK http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/15262.txt ---- Rogue Review No. 215 - October 6, 1998 When Summer Comes by Hawk Richards M/F, Voy, Light Bondage Length: 2,200 words Rating: Excellent SUMMARY Andrew gets a special "thank you" from Ms. Stratton whom he has been doing yard work for. COMMENTARY This is a stroke story, but what a stroke story! It is just the right length. The story is very well paced. The sex does not begin with the first paragraph. The author leads up to it quite nicely. The author also does a wonderful job of keeping the story in motion. It does not slow down and devolve into a blow by blow description of sex.

COMMENTARY There was not enough of a buildup in this story to satisfy me. It was a little too straight forward.

COMMENTARY I find this story very arousing. If you do not like bondage and disciple, then you may not care for this story. I think the author does an excellent job of striking a balance between describing what Sara and Jeffery are doing and how they are feeling.

COMMENTARY This story flows very nicely. The sex is there, but the author does not go to extreme lengths to describe all the details. It makes me think of the "Twelve Days of Christmas".

COMMENTARY If you like stories that involve monster cocks then you might like this story more than I did. There was not enough character development to satisfy me. The author obviously put some effort into writing and editing this story, but the titanic tool's domination of the tale was too complete for me to enjoy it.
