"Friends FAQ" by Maria Pollick (mariapollick@usa.net).

The most interesting thing about this review is that the author correctly used
the possessive as the "subject" of a gerund: "I'm looking forward to her
opening up." Actually, I'm being sarcastic. The only reason this author
"used the possessive" is because the possessive and objective cases of "she"
happen to be identical. I'll cease this pedantic nit-picking and get on with
the review.

This "FAQ" purports to describe some people who write sex stories and have
orgies together. One of the members of the group has a web page that has
received an "interracial multiple partner sex award for her accomplishments."
Imagine that. Most of the women have black Masters, who beat them, humiliate
them, and fuck the shit out of them - thus earning an "interracial multiple
partner sex award for their accomplishments."

A serious shortcoming is that if this is supposed to be a FAQ, it includes no
information whatsoever about how to reach the group about which the Questions
are Frequently Asked. There was a second part to this story, but it was
simply labeled FAQ; and so the only way I knew it was related was by its
location next to the first one. There was a third story, also labeled FAQ,
but it was identical to the second. This author should not quit her day job
and become a reference librarian, even though by doing so she might earn an
"interracial multiple partner sex award for her accomplishments."

Although the grammar and logic both suck from time to time, this story has a
certain charm to it. It's kinda like the time I was on a bus and a group of
slutty teenagers took all the seats around me. They left me alone, their
conversations were certainly not a model of linguistic eloquence, and I had no
interest in being anything like them. But I practically came in my pants from
just listening to them. This "story" isn't quite that good, but it has
potential.

Perhaps a better way to describe this and the related stories is to say that
they're like Penthouse Forum Letters, with a lot worse grammar and weaker
coherence.
