"The Beach" by Solange Lafemme (seaside masturbation). Ivan: 7, 8, 9
"The Beach" by Solange Lafemme (my_masters_slave@hotmail.com). Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan (poisoniv1@hotmail.com). --- We have three categories to rate these stories, but I sometimes think there should be a fourth. I've read several stories recently where the setting is just as important as the plot or characters. Bernadette and Crimson Dragon spring to mind as authors who make great use of their settings. "The Beach" is a story where setting is everything. In this story, a woman wanders off to an isolated stretch of beach and masturbates while thinking of her lover. That's really all there is to it. But Solange Lafemme does a very nice job making me feel like I am right there on the rocks, watching, as she pulls on her nipples and rubs her clit. Technically, the word "i" is left in lower case throughout; based on the author's email name, I'm guessing this may be a submissive game of some kind. The narrator also refers to the object of her fantasies in second person, although in this particular story, that's only a small distraction. This is a nice story from a first time author. Check it out. Ratings for "The Beach" Athena (technical quality): 7 Venus (plot & character & setting): 8 Ivan (appeal to reviewer): 9 |
