Rogue Review  No. 90 - July 7, 1998

Hot Tango by Nick

M/F, F/F

Length: 4,800 words


  SUMMARY

One rose touches the life of many people.


  COMMENTARY

This was a good attempt, but I think the author stifled the
characters.  It seems like he got an idea and then forced the story
in a particular direction.  The plot was there, and I had no problems
with it.  The characters, I feel, were sacrificed for the sake of the
plot.

The Star Trek reference kind of threw me.  It did not do the story in
for me, but it did upset the mood, that I felt had been created.

It is nice if a story can be wrapped up neatly, but it is not
necessary.


  JUDGMENT

This is not a good story, but I like the idea behind it.

Rogue Review  No. 91 - July 8, 1998

Thumper by Dave Read

M/F, Teen

Length: 4,300 words


  SUMMARY

Mark, a senior in college, comes home to baby-sit his sister Chris, 
age 16, and ends up fucking one of her friends.


  COMMENTARY

This is a stroke story.  There was a build up in this story.  The sex
did not begin with the second sentence.  It was not unrealistic or 
too formulaic.  The reference to Buddhism made me laugh.  

This story was lacking in at least one area.  The actions of the 
various characters seemed to proceed in a logical order, but they did
not seem to flow.  I found that distracting

The characters are not very deep, but then again, this is a stroke 
story.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but the flow of the action was a little rough.

Rogue Review  No. 92 - July 8, 1998

The Houseguest by DG

M/F

Length: 500 words


  SUMMARY

A houseguest gets taught a lesson.


  COMMENTARY

This is a very short, very funny story.  I missed some of the clues 
and did not realize what was going on until the end.  The author did 
a great job with the narrator's descriptions and tone.

Believe it or not, in 500 words the author actually does convey a 
plot.  He also does give the reader a feel for the mindset of the 
narrator.


  JUDGMENT

This is an excellent story.

Rogue Review  No. 93 - July 9, 1998

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes by Crimson Dragon

No Sex

Length: 3,900 words


  SUMMARY

Kimberly helps Karen get over getting dumped by her boyfriend.


  COMMENTARY

This is a very sweet story.  There is a hint of attraction between 
the two women, but nothing happens.  The author did an excellent job 
with the characters.  The plot is a bit limited and does not involve 
much.

This story is about how one woman feels after getting dumped.  It is 
well done, but there is not much to it and it is not arousing.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but it is limited in its scope.

Rogue Review  No. 94 - July 10, 1998

The Inn by Uther Pendragon

F/M

Length: 2,000 words


  SUMMARY

A woman gets very familiar with a stranger she meets at dinner.


  COMMENTARY

This story lacked a dilemma.  I figured out the ending (which I have 
not given away in this review) before I finished reading the story.

There was not enough build up to the sex.  The sex was just two 
bodies going at it.  I got no feel for the individuals involved.

Simple stories can work, but there has to be a little something to 
them.  This one lacked both characterization and plot.


  JUDGMENT

This was not a good story.

Rogue Review  No. 95 - July 10, 1998

Georgetta: The Bet (Chapters 7, 8, & 9) by The Dolphin

F-solo, Bond

Length: 7,200 words


  NOTE

This is the continuation of Georgetta: The Bet (Chapters 1-6) [Rogue 
Review No. 9].


  SUMMARY

After a night of wild sex Georgetta decides she needs a little more.


  COMMENTARY

I advise reading the first six chapters before reading these three.  

The slow and cautious pace works.  Chapters seven through nine are 
all build up.  There is no real release.  While I am eager to see how
the author will continue or conclude this story, I am satisfied 
with these three chapters.  I found them very arousing.

Chris, Georgetta's boyfriend, plays a less prominent role in these 
three chapters.  I found his reaction, to her machinations, amusing.

The pace and tone of this story are its strengths.


  JUDGMENT

This was an excellent story.

Rogue Review  No. 96 - July 10, 1998

The Quickie by Sue D. Nyym

M/F

Length: 2,500 words


  SUMMARY

Sex in the bathroom of the local supermarket.


  COMMENTARY

This story started off good.  I liked the build up.  I found the sex
to be a little too detailed.

The author should either have shortened the description of the sex, 
or thrown something else in the story to liven it up.


  JUDGMENT

This was not a good story, but the build up was good.

Rogue Review  No. 97 - July 10, 1998

Lust Night by Michelle

F/M

Length: 1,700 words


  SUMMARY

Her last night on the job is also her last chance to get some from 
her boss, Gary.


  COMMENTARY

This story was fun and playful.  It is a stroke story.

The narrator's horniness and Gary's initial reluctance work well 
together.

Considering how short the story was, there is no excuse for 
misspelled words or incorrect pronouns.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but I wish the author had proofread it a 
little more closely.

Rogue Review  No. 98 - July 11, 1998

True Love by Greatness

F/M, NC, F/F, Cons

Length: 4,700 words


  SUMMARY

Mary Lou has not had much luck with boys, but then she meets Alecia.


  COMMENTARY

This is different.  The first part consists of the narrator 
describing a typical date.  It made my skin crawl.  I think that was 
the desired effect.  The rest of the story does not involve non-
consensual sex.

This was a well written story, but it is also a stroke story.  I 
found it enjoyable and arousing after I got through the first part.

There is tension in this story.  The narrator is a very sensitive 
character and the author does a good job of depicting that.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but the non-consensual element in the beginning
is a bit disturbing.

Rogue Review  No. 99 - July 11, 1998

Hooked on a Feeling by Terry Jones

F/M

Length: 4,200 words


  SUMMARY

Kate, a young woman from west Texas, runs into her old flame.


  COMMENTARY

This story is well put together.  It is well paced.  There is more to
the plot than just sex.

I liked Kate, her willfulness was very becoming.  The other 
characters were much less complex.

The editing leaves something to be desired.  There was a number of 
sentences that could have been chopped up into smaller ones.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but some of the sentences seemed too long.

Rogue Review No. 100 - July 12, 1998

Portfolio Update by Jeff Justice

M/F

Length: 5,800 words


  SUMMARY

Noelle wants nude photos of herself and wants her former boss to take
them.


  COMMENTARY

I found this story very arousing.  The author does a good job of 
building up to the sex.

The bad part is that the author did not spend enough time proof 
reading or editing this story.  There are misspelled words, incorrect
verb tenses, and run-on sentences.

I liked the tone of the story.  I could feel the tension in the 
narrator's voice.


  JUDGMENT

This is a good story, but it needs to be edited.
