Facebook Friend

hpldwg (Lush Stories)	How refreshing! Real people with real flaws, muddling through life in a real way, both looking for happiness and fulfillment. And, they found it with each other. A true happy ending; well Done!

biggym (Lush Stories)	Excellent!!! Very well done and great read. Thanks. A lot can happen at Starbucks.

Katje (Lush Stories)	This was a very touching story. At first, I didn't like her opinion of him, but it went in a lovely direction. Keep up the good work!

TB_OrNot2B (Literotica)	I was distraught at first... because I thought the mention of his pictures showing only one side of his face was a giveaway to the rest of the story. Instead, I found a story about two "average" people, as in not the beautiful, big-breasted and well-endowed characters in so many other stories. I enjoyed the reluctant, yet natural, building of their appreciation for one another--all the things that had undoubtedly made them Facebook Friends--which in turn lead them to become sex partners, Facebook Boyfriend (and, I assume, Girlfriend,) and perhaps lovers. Thank you for the effort.

Fat Chance

cmsix	I just read it and I liked it. I especially liked Fatima and also the fact that it ended with a little hope for her. I didn’t really like Freddy but he was very real.

PredatorSmile (Literotica)	Fantastic Story! Excellent!!! I love this story! It is so very much like my own tale. What a world!!!

Anonymous (Literotica)	Fat Chance I myself am a Fat woman and every feeling that was written down on this story about how she felt about herself and how she saw herself was almost identical to how I am myself. It was as though someone had seen the thoughts in my head and decided to put them on a computer screen. Great depth with feelings. Amazing how right on this story was from a fat woman’s point of view.

Frank Sinatra

Softly (Literotica)	You are right! Ava is quoted as saying, “Frank is one hundred and thirty pounds of man, of which eighty pounds is cock.” On another occasion, Frank was playing poker. Ms. Monroe came in naked. He told her, “Get your fat ass out of here.” Those that knew him allege that he had sex with every major female movie star of his time.

Freedom of Trade



Bruce Marks (WordPress)	Freakin’ BRILLIANT!! You just nailed the inherent absurdities contained in rand+friedman theory of laissez faire economies!!

Heaven


Kenny N Gamera	Nice. I found it less a story and more a poem (40%/60%). The second time through I imagined a small jazz combo in the background, though it didn’t work. It wasn’t beat enough.

Yotna ElToub	I add my vote, but you are poetical here Bradley. Is this a new career? Very nice, and I look forward to my old age ;)

Her Husband’s Ex


l uganstud (Lush Stories)	Well written. Quite a conclusion! I look forward to reading more of your work.

SSean08 (Lush Stories)	Excellent story. What a triangle.

LovelikeWinter (Lush Stories)	I love the wording and how I couldn't predict what would happen next. I haven't read something so exciting in a while.

Here’s Looking at You


Anonymous (Literotica)	I loved this sublime love story . . .

Anonymous in Revolla (Literotica)	I loved this story and the memories it stirred.

How High the Moon


ungenderless (Literotica)	Romantic and sensual I really appreciated the subject matter of jazz music in this story. There was a unique relation between Lynn’s growing lust for an admirer and the way her night on stage progressed. We also get a healthy dose into Lynn’s history, which makes me care about her more.

tak0chan (Lush Stories)	To borrow a musical metaphor, there is a rich contrapuntal texture to this story that makes it deeply satisfying at numerous levels. The thematic interweaving of music, present and past emotions and situations, regrets and hopes etc, is brilliantly done, as is your evocation of the scene in which Lynn and her fellow musicians perform.

Hung Over


Yotna ElToub	The reflection of the club and drugs scene is well done. As is the confusion we have all felt due to intoxicants in our time. The sex is casual, but the story expands on the unwanted side effects both of the sex and by implication the ‘club scene’. The writing is nicely detached which matches the style of the piece Clare’s final decision is nicely observed.

I Remember Erewhon


TheUprightMan (Lush Stories)	Lyrical. Mystic. Touching. Why are you not doing this professionally?
