* "Fleeing Gods" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (sex with a god)
10, 10, 10
* "Fleeing Gods" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@midway.uchicago.edu). The stories by this author are - how shall I put it? - unusually creative. They tend to have plots that make me stop and think. Sure, they contain sex; otherwise I wouldn't be reviewing them on alt.sex.stories - although I did have to skip one of her stories ("Fireworks and Storms") because the only sex in it was implied. But the actual genital contact, although explicit, often plays a secondary role in a highly creative plot. Here we have a woman waking up and finding that Zeus is about ready to make love to her. It seems that Zeus and Hera have been on hiatus for a millennium or two, and so he is not prepared for a contemporary American woman. He's used to ancient Greek shepherd maids who were coy and tried to run from him and even changed shapes to escape his amorous advances; this modern bitch is eager to devour his cock and actually changes shapes to KEEP him. It's a delightful story. I'm tempted. Someday I'm going to let my students read one of this author's stories instead of "Daisy Miller."
