* "Ginger-with-a-D and the Hunk-and-a-Half" by Erin Halfelven (erotonomicon@hotmail.com). {Note: The author has revised the story and has eliminated the //double slashes// that used to indicate emphasis. This renders a major part of my review otiose. I've always wanted to use that word in a sentence.} This story contains a lightbulb joke with a wrong answer. The question is, "How many men does it take to screw in a light bulb?" The right answer is, "Just one. But you need an awful big lightbulb to fit inside with him." You can read the story for the author's answer. This author has an interesting style. She should probably upgrade her grammar by using more periods and semicolons, but the point I want to make here is that she uses //double slashes// to indicate emphasis. The way the author uses these, I can almost here her talking like a stereotypical blonde bimbo. Don't get on my case. Some of my best friends are blondes, but the blonde jokes //are// funny. For example, "Have you ever seen blondes making love on TV? No, they keep falling off." Anyway, Ginger has //red// hair, and these double slashes work a lot better if you switch to Times rather than New York font. The title had me going, because I thought maybe the D was her bra size, but it's really her last name - Ginger Rodgers with a D, no relation. So Ginger is a big girl, and she needs a big man, one of which comes into her office at the bank, where everyone ogles her but shows no signs of sexual harassment, even though they seem to ask her to get things off high shelves more than the average American Bear. So the guy asks her out to lunch, and she takes him to a restaurant with big boobs - er, big //booths//. My mistake regarding the preceding word is understandable, since the size of the booth is irrelevant. They don't fuck until they get to his apartment later that evening. It turns out the guy even has a big //tongue// for chrissake. Well, a hard guy is good to find, especially a big, hard guy in this case. So after the preliminary orgasms, when he says he'd like to tie her up for the next blowjob, she offers to tie //him// up instead. //Dayem!// Do they have a good time! This is not really a great work of literature. I mean it doesn't have much of a //plot// or anything like that. But I really like the tone of the story. It's what my British friends might call //cheeky//. I suspect that this author is going to do something creative {like have someone //proofread// her stories or maybe work on the plot a little} someday; and then we're going to be treated to some //really// great stuff. However, I've had just about enough of the << Ratings "Ginger-with-a-D" Athena (technical quality): 8 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 8 |
