"Bound and Helpless" by EzRiter (mild bondage) 9, 9, 9 http://search0.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=342174333 (*) (*) Post not by author. "Bound and Helpless" by EzRiter (Posted by "Don Ellis" ). Our narrator's friend Dave has gotten pissed off at his sister Helen and has tied her up to a basketball pole in the back yard, where our narrator comes upon her . He disguises his voice and threatens to rape her. This scares the bejesus out of her; but when she finds out who it really is, she decides to go steady with him, and they live happily ever after. I would call this plot sophomoric, but the author (who is probably a freshman) would probably consider that to be a compliment. The plot sounds simplistic, but it really was a pretty nice story. This author makes a common grammatical error: a coordinating conjunction FOLLOWED by a comma - as in "... but, she acted like she ignored me...." When combining clauses, the comma properly goes BEFORE the "and" or "but." Ratings for "Bound and Helpless" Athena (technical quality): 9 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9
