* "My Weekend with Nancy" by Steve Black (romance & menage a trois) 10, 10, 10 ------------------- This Week in Celestial History CR#90 - June 12, 1996 ------------------- * "My Weekend with Nancy" by Steve Black (c621097@showme.missouri.edu). Through a combination of brains and beauty Nancy LeDoux has made her way to the top ranks as a manager within the Ultimate Wrestling Association. Andy is a big fan of wrestling and of Nancy. Don't worry; you don't have to buy into the idea that pro wrestling is "real" in order to enjoy this story. Andy views Nancy as a beautiful woman who is good at promoting entertainment. Alas, Nancy hurts her ankle, and Andy helps her. Double alas - because of the injury, Nancy cannot sleep; and Andy helps her again. Triple alas, Nancy needs a man; and Andy redoubles his efforts to help out. It turns out Nancy is polyamorous. Andy has to decide if this is OK with him; and he says he needs time to think. Quite possibly, the reason for his hesitation was because he had to check the fine FAQ on that topic, available on alt.sex.wizards. Then Andy rescues Nancy from her crazed wrestler ex- husband. Next Nancy's sexy assistant Tamara starts coming on to Andy. Andy likes Tamara but resists her, because he wants to remain true to Nancy. But Tamara is going to be persistent. What will Andy do? I knew the answer, because I already knew all about polyamory. That's the value of having a good vocabulary and/or lurking in alt.sex.wizards. Actually, I *thought* I knew the answer, and I was pretty close. But I didn't guess the part about the handcuffs. This story has a slow build-up; but that's probably necessary. The ending was excellent. Ratings for "My Weekend with Nancy" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10
