FEEDBACK
The authors of these stories would love to hear from you.
Whether you have praise or criticism drop them a line after
reading one of their stories. If you write your reactions
in an intelligent manner then they will probably write back
to you. Juvenile slobberings and flames are often ignored.

required legal age, or material of an erotic nature
is illegal where you are, then do not read what
follows.
TITLE: The Photographer
AUTHOR: thor4u
LENGTH: 7,800 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Mother-Son
KINK(S): Exhibitionism
SETTING(S): Home
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: During the second semester in junior college, Kyle
takes a photography class. One of the assignments calls for
a nude model. His mother volunteers to be his model and
Kyle, despite some misgivings, accepts her offer.
COMMENTARY: I enjoyed this story quite a bit. The author
does a wonderful job with the pacing. I also appreciate the
fact that there is more to the story than just sex. In fact,
there isn't all that much actual sex in the story. There are
a fair number of scenes that help to illustrate the mounting
sexual tension between mother and son.
I think that most people should enjoy this story, with the
exception being those that do not care for stories of
mother-son incest.

TITLE: Wet Dreams
AUTHOR: Miss Lebeau
LENGTH: 5,800 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Female
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Adult Lovers
KINK(S): Light Bondage
Toys
SETTING(S): Home
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: A woman submits to her lover for an evening of...
COMMENTARY: I found this story to be tres hot. Sex plays a
prominent role but the author also focuses on the emotional
states of the characters; the female narrator in particular.
Watching her twist in "agony" from the ecstasy she is
experiencing, and yet cannot control, was a most delicious
experience. It was her physical reactions as well as the
thoughts and feelings experiences that made these moments of
agony/ecstasy so much fun to read.
I think that most of you should enjoy it. I strongly
recommend you give it a try. Having said that, I should say
that I think it may appeal a bit more to females than to
males, but just a bit.

NOTICE: If you are easily offended, not of the
required legal age, or material of an erotic nature
is illegal where you are, then do not read what
follows.
TITLE: Stealing Stephanie
AUTHOR: The Jacobin
LENGTH: 7,500 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Co-workers
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Home
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Paul attempts to convince his coworker, Stephanie,
that he can do better for her, in bed, than her current
boyfriend can.
COMMENTARY: The author does a beautiful job plotting and
pacing this story. He doesn't cut to the chase too fast, but
instead takes his time. The result is a short story that
includes a few twists and turns; twists and turns that I
enjoyed and did not forsee. The author has also done a very
nice job with the characters. The manner in which they are
portrayed leads me to believe that they both have lives that
began before the story does and continue after it is over.
They also remind either of myself or of people I have known,
in certain ways.
Other than a typo or two, and one instance where Paul asks
Stephanie to roll onto her back when what follows makes it
clear that he meant to ask her to roll onto her stomach, I
think this is a wonderful story.
I get the impression that this one may appeal to women a bit
more than to men, even though the main character and
narrator is a man. Still, I strongly recommend that all of
you at least give it a try.

NOTICE: If you are easily offended, not of the
required legal age, or material of an erotic nature
is illegal where you are, then do not read what
follows.
TITLE: Paybacks Are a Bitch
AUTHOR: Pami
LENGTH: 3,200 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Female
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Lovers
KINK(S): BDSM
SETTING(S): Home
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Pami punishes Bob, her boyfriend, although he seems
to writhe in pleasure, under her touch, much more often than
he does in pain.
COMMENTARY: I was definitely drawn into this story by the
subject matter, but I like to think that there is more to
recommend this tale than just a little BDSM. For instance,
the manner in which the author opens the story. She gives
enough details to set the scene but not so that the story
bogs down as a result. In addition, it is much more than
just the kinks that make this story an intense experience;
it is also the manner in which Pami and Bob interact with
and react to one another.
This story probably will not appeal to those who are
squeamish about anything more than a little light bondage.
Some men may also find some of the happenings in this story
to be a bit threatening. I enjoyed it. I recommend it.

follows.
TITLE: Coincidence
AUTHOR: Delta
LENGTH: 7,800 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Lovers
KINK(S): --

CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Cal runs into an old lover of his, Lisa, on a flight. He
recognizes her, but she doesn't recognize him. His memories of
their time together are bittersweet.
COMMENTARY: What did I like about this story? The characters and
the plot impressed me, as did the author's use of flashbacks. The
numerous transitions between past and present are fluid. The
ending isn't exactly what one would expect from an erotic story,
but it is appropriately bittersweet given the way Cal remembers
his relationship with Lisa. I probably would not have been as
impressed with this story as I am if it had ended on a drastically
different note.
I can't think of anything negative to say about this story, other
than it probably isn't for everyone. It has sex, but it is really
about much more than sex. While the sex is arousing, the story
taken as a whole is much better. If you are looking for stroke
material then I advise you look elsewhere.
