* "Long Ago and Far Away" by Sven the Elder (sven@brass-neck.demon.co.uk). This story is a retrospective about Sven's experiences before he was the Elder - long ago and far away, when he was a white European romancing the black African daughter of the local chieftain. The chieftain wasn't all that thrilled about the relationship; and so he had ordered the relationship to end. This is the story of the couple's last romantic tryst. It's an interesting story with good sex, but my impression is that this is a lot clearer and more interesting in the mind of the author than it will be to the minds of people who do not share that same initial perspective. Ratings for "Long Ago and Far Away" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 8 |
