"Descent of a Woman" by Kim (island orgy) 10, 9, 10
"Descent of a Woman" by Kim (Ghost@nym.alias.net). Guest review by Bronwen (bronwen@anon.nymserver.com). This is a late review, all my fault. Sorry. OTOH, such eons have elapsed that Kim will surely now repost the story, which can only be a good thing. What an enjoyable piece.... This is another of the stories written for Malinov's Island, a site created by the marvelous (and prolific) author, Lord Malinov. For those not familiar with the idea, the ball was set rolling by a story from DG in which all the regular authors from ASS/ASSM set off on an erotic writers cruise and were shipwrecked, ending up on Malinov's tropical island. Lots of other authors wrote connected stories. Anyone is more than welcome to submit stories related to this scenario - check the site out at My first impressions of "Descent of a Woman" weren't so good. The first little section seems frankly a bit superfluous. Not entirely connected with the main thrust, if you'll forgive the pun. (probably?) I'm missing something. However once our heroine arrives on the island the story takes off big time. What fun! It's not fair to give away much plot, save that it's weird and wonderful. Dazzling creativity. Piles of mythological allusions and a few really good jokes. This is one of Kim's best stories yet. There's not a lot of sex, but I found what there was memorably erotic. Read it for yourself.
