In the header to this story, the author mentions that this is her first erotic
story and she asks for comments and suggestions. Here are mine:

Stephanie:

As the story starts you and your best friend Kirstin are watching a movie
together in your room. We learn that both of you are attractive high school
girls. You find yourself taking a peek at Kirstin's shapely ass, and she
catches you looking. So far, not too bad. I can picture the scene, and it
seems pretty realistic. I like a story about high school girls having sex as
much as the next pervert. My only quibble is that there might be a little
more background. Have you been fantasizing about Kirstin for a long time?
How do you feel in general about sex between girls? Which one of you is more
outgoing than the other?

Once Kirstin catches you peeking, more serious problems develop with the
story. Kirstin grabs your hand and sniffs it, realizes that you have been
playing with yourself, and almost immediately orders you to eat her pussy.
Stephanie, this just isn't realistic. Thirty year old dykes might behave like
that, but not high school girls with boyfriends. Take a little time and have
things develop more naturally. Maybe try this: you're embarrassed to be
caught looking and you apologize. Kirstin laughs and admits that she looks at
you sometimes too. You ask Kirstin if she's ever has sex with a girl. She
says no, but she's thought about it. One thing leads to another - a hug, an
kiss, some giggles, a feel.

Once the sex starts, you fall victim to many of the cliches of sex writing.
These cliches can be summed up as the mistaken assumption that more is always
better. If a damp pussy is sexy, than a dripping pussy must be really sexy.
If full breasts are a turn-on, enormous breasts must be even better. Not
true. What is really sexy is realism - giving the reader the impression that
the scene could really happen the way you describe it. Do you think readers
will buy it when you have a high-school girl say to her friend "Lick my
drenched cunt" or "I'll bet you have a tight little fuck-hole?" Of course
not. Don't you think it would be more realistic, and therefore sexier, if you
or Kirstin said "God, I know you're going to think this sounds really gross,
but...do you ever wonder what it would be like to lick a girl's...you know, to
kiss a girl down there?" Maybe you don't. I'm just giving you my opinion.

At the end of the story you ask the readers "Would you like to read part 2?"
I hate to say it, but the answer is no. You haven't created believable
characters that I would want to get to know better or developed the kind of
sexual energy and tension that comes from real people behaving in realistic
ways. My advice to you is to start over with the same general idea, but to
make your characters real high school girls with real high-school girl
personalities, fears, guilt trips, emotions, and goals. If you can portray
characters like that getting down to some pussy munching, I *will* want to
read part 2.
