  RATINGS

In order from best to worst I rate stories as follows:

Outstanding
Excellent
Very Good
Good
Grudgingly Good
Not Good

The "Outstanding", "Excellent", "Very Good", and "Good" ratings 
indicate, to varying degrees, that I like the story.

The "Grudgingly Good" rating indicates that I think the story is 
well written, but that I find some of the elements in the story 
so disturbing that if I were to review the story based solely on 
my personal tastes I would give it a "Not Good" rating.

The "Not Good" rating indicates that I do not like the story.

Snake Priestess by Dragonfly

F/snake

Length: 3,000 words

Rating: Very Good


  SUMMARY

A woman tells of how she became the Snake Priestess.


  COMMENTARY

This is a little weird.  I did enjoy it.  I did find it arousing, 
but at the same time I could not help but shake my head.

Length: 2,400 words

This is weird.  I did not find it arousing, but it did make me wonder 
about the author.  What an imagination!

Rogue Review No. 215 - October 6, 1998

When Summer Comes by Hawk Richards

M/F, Voy, Light Bondage

Length: 2,200 words

Rating: Excellent


  SUMMARY

Andrew gets a special "thank you" from Ms. Stratton whom he has been 
doing yard work for.


  COMMENTARY

This is a stroke story, but what a stroke story!  It is just the 
right length.

The story is very well paced.  The sex does not begin with the first 
paragraph.  The author leads up to it quite nicely.

The author also does a wonderful job of keeping the story in motion. 
It does not slow down and devolve into a blow by blow description of 
sex.

Rogue Review No. 216 - October 6, 1998

Time to Go by Hawk Richards

M/F

Length: 1,200 words

Rating: Good


  SUMMARY

Julian makes love to Catherine one last time.


  COMMENTARY

There was not enough of a buildup in this story to satisfy me.  It 
was a little too straight forward.

Rogue Review No. 217 - October 7, 1998

Working Away by RopeBinder

M/F, BDSM

Length: 5,300 words

Rating: Excellent


  SUMMARY

Jeffery gives Sara what she needs by disciplining her.


  COMMENTARY

I find this story very arousing.  If you do not like bondage and 
disciple, then you may not care for this story.

I think the author does an excellent job of striking a balance 
between describing what Sara and Jeffery are doing and how they 
are feeling.

Rogue Review No. 218 - October 8, 1998

Principles by Homer Vargas

F/M

Length: 5,400 words

Rating: Excellent


  SUMMARY

A wife describes how she got around her husband's aversion to 
fathering children.


  COMMENTARY

This story flows very nicely.  The sex is there, but the author does 
not go to extreme lengths to describe all the details.

It makes me think of the "Twelve Days of Christmas".

Rogue Review No. 219 - October 10, 1998

The Private Eye and the Public Dick by Heatheranne

F/M, F-solo

Length: 9,200 words

Rating: Good


  SUMMARY

Karen, the private eye, is hired to locate someone's long lost son.


  COMMENTARY

If you like stories that involve monster cocks then you might like 
this story more than I did.  There was not enough character 
development to satisfy me.

The author obviously put some effort into writing and editing this 
story, but the titanic tool's domination of the tale was too complete
for me to enjoy it.
