"Teresa's story" by Brenda Vieths (sci fi sex) 9, 8, 8
"Teresa's Story" by Brenda Vieths (CBKX59A@PRODIGY.COM) (repost by John Dark). This review is the personal opinion of Kim, who can be contacted at ghost@nym.alias.net. . Another SF (science fiction) story to review, hurrah! This one involves the enigmatic creation of the BBC, Dr Who. For those unfamiliar with the guy, he's a Time Lord, who gets to travel the cosmos both in space and time, in a rather strange time-ship called the Tardis. On the outside it's a blue cupboard with "Police Box" written on it, but inside it's a huge mansion of a place. The Doc himself is about two thousand years old, and every so often changes body shape. Which is convenient if the actor playing him decides to move on. I've not watched that many episodes, but from what I've seen, what it loses in credible mise-en-scene, it makes up for in acting and plotting. I believe it is now canceled, but I could be wrong. Anyway, to the story. The Tardis materializes in Teresa's home and then whisks her off on two years of adventures, battling Darleks and the like, none of which is gone into, more's the pity. It basically boils down to Teresa getting the hots for the Doc, and after two years of frustration decides to put aside the monster vibrator, that she bought on some planet somewhere, and pounce on him. He, being a gentleman, demurs, but is soon persuaded that he ought to avail himself of her charms. Poor guy hasn't had any in five hundred years, but luckily for Teresa, hasn't forgotten what to do. Blessed with prodigious equipment he soon has Teresa getting two years worth all in one go, and she certainly seems to enjoy the event. The story was well told, the sex compelling and the characters appealing. It wasn't quite top drawer, as the choice of words in some sentences was a bit repetitious, and the sex was a bit cliched, but generally these are only minor quibbles. I think I might have liked a longer story about some of the adventures only hinted at, even at the expense of some of the sex. Ah well, I guess I'm a bit of a pervert like that. Ratings for "Teresa's Story" Athena (technical quality): 9 (pretty good, but not brilliant) Venus (plot & character): 8 (Tantalizing hints at what might have been) Kim (appeal to reviewer): 8 (I think stroke fans will like it more than Doc Who fans) |
