* "Meeting Amanda" by Backrub (sex with a vampire) 10, 10, 10
* "Meeting Amanda" by Backrub. Here we have what my psychology professor referred to as an approach-avoidance dilemma. (When the prof told us about it, she talked about pigeons; but I'm pretty sure I still have the idea right.) I had never read a Backrub story I _didn't_ like; but I had never read a vampire story that I _did_ like. The tension alone, of course, would have made a less sophisticated woman cum in her panties; but I was wearing none. Therefore, I boldly went where I had never gone before.... What I like most about Backrub is his/her use of language and imagery: "From twenty feet away she looked like a living statue, weathered brown but taut and strong. Her short black hair barely moved with her movements." That's beautiful. The yet unknown woman was coming to life for me, but remaining mysterious. The imagery remained vivid as the story got hotter. To find out more, you'll have to read the story. I still don't plan to look for vampire movies, but I do plan to read more Backrub stories. And for some reason I just remembered it's about time for me to give blood again.
