   Just read the latest ... and ... of course ... you
   left us all hanging. I know that's just a
   technique you writers employ but damn ... it was
   getting really interesting! <laugh>
   Speaking of payments ... we're having our
   national holiday celebrating our independence
   today. I saw some youngsters returning from one
   of the local parks ... where someone was doing
   face painting. One girl was about nine and her
   sister was around five. Both were painted as
   exotic felines. If you were ever to intermix a
   furry theme ... with your favourite genre ... it
   could get very ... erm ... hot? Mind you, they
   were considerably younger than your current
   heroine.
   Anyhoo ... I really enjoyed this latest
   instalment ... and am eagerly awaiting the next
   one. (Is there any chance that Sangrelysia will
   never end?)
   Oh well ... we can only wish.
   Thanks again, Auntie Viv.
   Regards,
   G

   Good evening, Auntie V;
   You have such a lyrical writing style ... your
   words just flow along ... without apparent effort
   or stress. Personally, I think the combination of
   magic and Mf genres lend itself to your gifts ...
   and I also believe you can exploit those same
   gifts for all they're worth.
   By the way, the above doesn't mean that I don't
   know that writing can often mean tons of sweat and
   loads of emotional energy. Still ... you make it
   look so effortless and almost dreamy. All of
   this is an unmistakeable sign of skill and
   determination.
   Thank you so much for your gifts to us. We
   readers get so much for so little contribution.
   Regards,
   G

   You are right about November - I was talking about the
   Presidential in '08 where apparently Hillary is the great
   Democratic hope.
   I'll be surprised if there is a leadership change in congress
   this year.
   Sorry, even if I am a Californian, I can't imagine Pelosi and
   Boxer being in leadership.
   (Opinions are like rectums, everyone has one!)
   Keep writing, wish I could but I sure enjoy the reading

   Excellent! I gave your story a 10. At the time I
   voted the score for it was 8.38 and I'm astounded
   it isn't higher. The story is very well written,
   hilarious and sexy. That's a difficult
   combination that would be beyond the abilities of
   the vast majority of writers. I've read several
   of your stories and I think this one is the best.

   how certain types of stories automatically get
   rejected by some readers...(making you wonder why
   they even bother to read them).....nonetheless, I
   thought this a fine, evocative story, well

   I'm sorry that this story has recived such a low
   score. I think it is as good as many I have read
   here that are well in the 9+ range. Some readers
   just don't get it, and unfortunatly there are
   others out to lower authers rating. I did my part
   to raise your score and I hope others read this
   and think the same. It is hard work writing and
   for all those who don't pay, they should at
   least be polite and if they don't like it, fuck
   off! LOL

   Good evening, Mistress of the Night;
   Aha! Demand a recount. Those other 21 voters
   obviously don't know Excellence when they read
   it!
   An intriguing, not totally predictable but
   defintitely an erotic little story, Auntie Viv.
   I enjoyed this one very much.
   Your voting average is only 8 ... and that leads
   me to think there're loads of readers who don't
   know how lucky they are to have you writing your
   stories.
   Thank you for all the effort you put into this
   one, Viv. Great fun!

   A story, of what should be the most forbiden

   the most captivating short stories that I have
   rea; maybe ever written. Dispite the nature of
   the story I was compelled to rate this as
   Excelent.
   An artistic presentation.

   Hi Vivian:
   I found the story (not hard, just had to go back to your asstr
   site), so the attached jpeg has a graphical description of what I
   did. Your translation below was pretty close. X2S is "O" and, my
   mistake, +1-3 should have been +1-4, and hence a "D".

   Hi there, Viv;
   Interesting chapter ... a little bit of cosmology
   ... a little bit of sex(-ual attraction) ... a
   little bit of magic ... a little bit of punning
   ... all to the enjoyment of your readers.
   I know that ... at some point ... this story will
   end ... but Jeeze ... I wish it could go on
   forever!
   Thanks very much for gifting us with your
   writing. You do such a damn good job of it ...
   and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is a
   devoted admirer.
   And ... the genre's okay, too.

   Hey Vivian,
   Ah, and she incorporates the "how she doin'
   that" question. That's, what, three times
   stuff I asked about got directly answered in the
   story? Cool! <struts like proud rooster> ;-)
   The techno-magic mix you mention in the blog can
   be tricky. I mean, magic is the art of making
   the impossible happen, largely limited by only
   finding the right rare spell or intuiting the
   proper, unique circumstances. Science sets up
   limits on the possible, but gives rules for
   devising formulas for anything & specializes in
   predicting events. Combining the two either
   makes something completely unworkable or a world
   without any real limitations, neither great for
   storytelling frameworks.
   (I found this out the hard way when a friend gave
   me his RPG system for the techno-magic world he'd
   come up with to develop for him. I had the better
   science background, and he prefered to just
   role-play in that setting, not run it.)
   Well, anyways, sorry to hear the story is drawing
   to a close so soon. I'll just enjoy it while
   it's still here. Thanks for sharing the great
   read!

   Hi!
   One of your stories involved a visual coding for letters of the
   alphabet. The first one was, as I recall, X where a,b,c,d went
   into the V shaped spaces in the X, starting at the top. To do it
   without the visual code in ASCII (text alone) you specify which
   shape (say X, but since there are two "X's" you must specify
   which one, first or second, and then the position numberically.
   Hence my coding in the message. Less mystification now?

   Hi Vivian,
   Thank you for your prompt and polite reply. I had to smile at
   your response to my comments about Sylvia: you used exactly the
   same sort of words I would have if a reader had made a similar
   comment about one of my characters. The biter bit :-)
   I hadn't noticed the lack of a verb in the sentence I
   highlighted: my word processor is always complaining about the
   same sort of thing. I'm not fixated on verbs. What stuck me was
   that that it read 'clumsily'. Your prose is fluid and flows
   easily off the page into the mind but that sentence didn't, imho.
   I don't want to make a big thing about it and appear to be
   hyper-critical so perhaps I should just shut up.
   I'm glad you have the story mapped out. I wish I was as
   disciplined.
   Best regards,

   Vivian,
   This story is interesting and I am enjoying it. I
   think different authors have their unique style
   and there will always be readers who do not like
   this or the other.
   The only critique I have is that this story has
   two dominant characters and you might want to add
   a couple more. Even Roderick, the king etc. are
   weakly defined and characterized next to the the
   magician and Sylvia.
   Focus on the story, add some more characters,
   plots, twists and turns. Most important enjoy
   yourself.
     ____________________________________________________________

   Jun 4, 2006 - Sangrelysia

   Still enjoying this one. Especially with the
   occasional jabs toward traditional Sword and
   Sorcery stories. I'd prefer it that the princess
   be older than 10 but I guess the relationship is
   ok in this universe so who am I to complain. Love
   your descriptions. Ignore those who complain about
   your language.

   Jun 4, 2006 - Sangrelysia

   I do not, as a matter of general course, pay any
   attention to stories involving sex with
   pre-pubescent girls (or boys, come to that). I
   do not score them - I am at one with you on your
   blog point - I simply do not read them. We each
   have our likes and dislikes but imho,
   pre-pubescent sex smacks of child abuse. That,
   however, is my problem, not yours. I have the
   same reaction to torture, snuff, scat and a
   number of other topics though, naturally, not for
   the same reason.
   I do, however, enjoy fantasy - true fantasy born
   of the deep and vivid imagination of the author,
   not the tired and tedious sword-and-sorcery
   rubbish that weighs down the shelves of the local
   bookstore - so I started to read your story. I am
   immensely glad I did for you approach the genre
   with a light and deft hand. Your style is
   oblique, reminding me a bit of Moorcock, though
   less prosey, and others. Your characters are
   nicely drawn, almost pastiches without descending
   into caricature, and you have a sure touch with
   humour. Your descriptions of sex are positively
   scintillating. I get the definite impression
   that this is a story that does not take itself
   too seriously while, at the same time, being a
   jolly good read.
   If I could take the liberty of introducing a
   couple of minor criticisms... The first is that,
   on occasion, your local colour is just a trifle
   heavy-handed and stands out from the rest of your
   delicately-phrased prose. For example, at the
   start of Ch.3 you desribe the smells of the
   market-place. You begin, "The stench of the
   afternoon marketplace of hay...". I felt
   that something like, "The afternoon market-place
   smelt as afternoon market-places always do - of
   hay..." would have been defter. The second
   point relates to Sylvia. I know you have
   explicitly stated she is a 10yo. I feel, perhaps
   incorrectly, that you say that out of habit rather
   than conviction for, by her actions, speech and
   reasoning, she exceeds that age by several years.
   As my alter-ego is currently experiencing his
   third child pass through the teenage years, I
   have to say that Sylvia is not consitent with the
   age she is portayed. 13 I would accept, 12 at a
   long pinch, but not 10. I know this is fantasy,
   but still...
   Having made these minor comments, I would not
   like you to think I do not like the story. I do
   and am looking forward to finding out more about
   the red dragon, the whereabouts of Sylvia's
   parents and the ultimate fate of the wicked King
   - unpleasant I hope.
   Finally, would you permit me to give you a word
   of advice: don't write and post by chapter.
   Write whole sections even if each chapter if
   posted singly. I know continuous posting keeps
   the hit rate up but it can lead to the pitfall of
   churning where the author loses track of the
   overall structure of his/her story and keeps
   churning out the words like a soap-opera. It
   seems to happen to SoL authors with depressing
   regularity. You need to keep your story tight
   and terse, each word being carefully considered
   and laid delicately on the page.
   Forgive me if this is an attempt to teach ones
   mother's mother how to extract the interior of a
   hen's produce by suction.
   Best regards,

   Hey Vivian,
   Aha, got both the butterfly & hostage aspects
   attended to! Cool!
   Though, while they wouldn't have love missives,
   there's always spy reports & correspondance
   between co-conspirators -- and <shudder>
   inter-office memos! ;-D An origami shape they
   might use there to hide in plain sight would
   probably be like a beetle, though with a
   corresponding "bug zapper" to act similarly to
   a firewall. (Probably only lets notes thru with
   the correct code or blood splashed on it. Or
   both.)
   By the way, in your description in the last
   chapter about the metaspheres, it occurs to me to
   ask just HOW Elwrong's spells are working? If
   they are spells she learned in the evil realm,
   wouldn't her casting them in Sangrelysia be like
   trying to run a normal Windows program on a Mac
   (or vice versa)? She's either using local
   spells or has found a way to interface into her
   home metasphere. And since her home sphere
   sounds a lot like a very virus-infected computer
   system, that could do some nasty stuff to "the
   realm of St Lily of the Ashes" (stretched pun,
   based on San, Grey & Lys).
   [Which reminds me. Might the locals give their
   place a nickname, given the name is so long?
   Just curious, since we Pennsylvanians often call
   home "P-A". Maybe they'd say "
   'Grelys"???]
   Okay, enough with the probing questions and
   insightful suggestions. <roll eyes> Sorry, I get
   kind of into all these theoretical questions about
   stories I like, especially those dealing with how
   magical or psionic/psychic systems might work.
   (I'm even worse with time travel tales.) Not
   nitpicking or anything, just I seem to equate
   interest with the need to consider the larger
   ramifications of what the author sets up. By how
   much I've written here, looks like you're doing
   a good job! <g>
   Seriously, looking good, madame! Very intriguing
   story. Thanks for sharing this great read!

   I like the way you are writing this. Over the top
   descriptions, lots of adjectives and adverbs, and
   quite a bit of humor. I find the setting fun ...
   "ancient" sounding castle but animated door
   knocker asking for credit cards and security
   codes. A young but surprisingly wise sounding
   princess. A wise but surprisingly vulnerable
   wizard. The gaggle of "ladies" in waiting
   asking "are we there yet?"
   Good job

   May 30, 2006 - Sangrelysia

   Sorry that your scores are not what you might wish them to be.
   Your prose is wonderful and your characters witty.
   If I were to guess, I would say that you may have some unpopular
   themes in your stories and you may be whimiscal enough to upset
   some of those who would otherwise be totally enamored of your
   work.
   I just read a bit of a couple of your stories and am working
   through Sangrelysia and I love the wizard and his whimiscal
   actions against the sovereign. The same whimsy detracts from the
   intensity of the tale and may hurt your score.
   I think the sex scenes with the young girls may also detract from
   the quality of your work.
   For what it is worth, I know of several of my favorite authors on
   SOL who suffer anguish over the ratings.
   Love the work. Please keep it up.

   Heh, King George the Buffoon. Gee, that's not a reference to
   someone we all know and love, is it? >:-D (Now, if the
   Hieronymous and Megan names are also references, not quite
   getting those. Neither the names nor the descriptions seem to
   match the Clintons in any meaningful manner; heck, only thing
   Hieronymous brings to mind for me is Bosch, and his stuff doesn't
   quite fit the imagery of this story.)
   Do have a few questions. One, what about Sylvia's friends, the
   ladies-in-waiting? Pretty sure the liw's weren't actually
   servants, but LADIES, noblewomen from lesser courts, largely
   brought in to act as friends to the royal women (and as hostages
   to their parents' good will).Even if they are not, they are still
   probably almost completely cut off from their families & would
   make good hostages to SYLVIA'S good will, given her close
   friendship (especially if George's cronies ever sniffed out their
   true relationship). They also might just hurt the elf maid for
   spite against him.
   Another question is the security of that little "butterfly
   missive" trick. If this Elwrong (love the name!) is that good,
   might she not be aware of that trick and set up a means to detect
   any those girls get, then follow one back? (Heck, although the
   wizard can't get one, being nameless, Elwrong could send her own
   to Sylvia, either following it, coating it with a poison dust, or
   similar.)
   ((By the way, true 'phoenices' [best guess for plural, based on
   similar ending to "matrix"] do only get reborn at the start of
   each millenium.))
   Oh well, minor concerns. Otherwise, very interesting story. Not
   sure what you mean in the blog about stuff the complainers aren't
   getting (either it all seems obvious to me or I'm too dense to
   even notice it. <g>) However, the ante-chronal doppelgangers have
   me intrigued, and the mysterious orb has all sorts of
   possibilities.
   That & I like a magical culture that creates modern-like
   amenities. Neat idea. Given my cooking skills, though, what I
   could use some device hooked to the pantry to cook meals for me,
   maybe some kind of mobile dumbwaiter with heating
   & cooling compartments. :-S
   Thanks for the great story!

   I was able, without hesitation, to vote "9" - very good - for
   this story. Your introduction emphasuzung "fantacy" let me relax

   Without you describing physical features of your main characters

   A great story up until the last paragraphs when you went a little

   Now I'm off to reald more of your works .

   I did not yet "vote a score" for this story; my emotions are too
   convoluted at this time. I am not certain, but I believe this is
   the first time I have read you.
   This is a well writen story and I could NOT put it down until I
   read each and every word. This story is emotional and pulled
   strongly at my heartstrings; I like it a lot.
   The ending disapointed me. Lee was too cruel to Sarah in the way
   he ravaged her body to satisfy his own lust to find a receptical
   for his semen. In my eye, Lee should have concentrated more on
   Sahah's awakening and enjoyment and brought her
   the needed extasy and feeling of belonging LONG before he shoved
   his large manhood into her tiny sheath.
   I do believe [even in this horribly regulated world] that a young
   girl should be awakened by an older, but very gentle, older man -
   a father figure. A slow and gentle relationship. Lee should
   possibly have attempted to take care of any hurts Sarah suffered
   at the hands of her father.
   Just my thoughts and feelings,
   And thanks for posting this for me.

   I gave your story a 10, even though I haven't read it in depth,
   but I did like what I saw.
   By turning in such a Lo-o-o-o-n-g first installement you may have
   inadvertently slowed down the votes you could have gotten due to
   people just downloading it to read offline.
   I know I was tempted.
   I hope to give you better feedback later after I've had a chance
   to actually READ it through.

   Wow!
   The 'Interlude" was something else again ... terrifically erotic
   and very sensual. (Those magenta inserts in dark hair are a
   killer.)
   This is quite a story, Viv. I hope it never ends! <laugh>
   Thanks for the latest chapters.

   Just excellent, really loved the humour and the overall idea. I
   love your lanaguage too. I think you lost the pacing a little bit
   near the end but that depends a bit on where you go with the next
   chapters. Keep it up!
   Congratulations.

   Oh my, I loved this story, especially the prose.
   "...brutishly tickling her briny bitter inner sliminess with his
   sensitive tongue
   "...thick hairy snake, wild and animalistic as it emerged from
   its dark curly lion's mane, rearing its stiff head in solid
   fullness.
   "...urgent urge, a furious fucking rage to tear open their most
   secret insides and lay bare before the open knife of searing
   incision the built up longing and repression.
   Urgent urge, that is a classic. I think you could win the
   Bulwer-Lytten contest with those lines. lol.
   Thanks for sharing your story

   Actually, this has been a thoroughly enjoyable read, though it
   was marred by a couple of missing words here and there. I think
   your editor is due for a round of severe chastisment.

   Apr 24, 2006 - Turn Table

   That quote about the law enforcement authorities having the
   BIGGEST stash of child porn is actually right.
   What you apparently DON'T get, is that the laws against adults
   having sex with children are NOT about protecting the children!
   They are about women and men in marriages, not wanting some
   teenybopper or younger to steal their husband or
   wife away from her or him.
   Basically, it is ALL jealousy on the part of the women and men
   involved, because children up to about the age of 7 CANNOT get
   pregnant, unless they are some freakishly advanced child.
   There is the consideration of sexual disease, but children who
   are sexually active are no more in danger from that than adults
   are.

   This chapter brings your story to a wonderful close. Any time I
   think that you are getting a little too florid, you pull it back
   ... and move the characters along.
   Of course, I was very much taken by the mention of the girl scout
   cookies at the end. Quite a zinger!
   Thanks very much for all your effort and work. Our roles as
   readers are made so much easier by your writings.

   Sorry you're not getting higher scores. Your writing is great!
   However, as I always say:

   I feel I must offer you praise, if only for one thing....giving
   me an excuse to feel like less of a dirty pervert. I can read
   your stories and pretend I am reading something of literary value
   rather than just cheap purient thrills. That said, I did find
   myself scratching my head as to why you as a woman would play so
   completely into the hidden desires of hot-blooded heterosexual
   men. What guy out there doesn't dream of finding a cute,
   innocent, yet sensual girl who waiting for them only to share her
   deepest sexual fantasies with. My latest conclusion is that
   there's a level of intentional perversity going on here, that
   there's a part of you who's writing these stories merely to press
   some of the most sensitive buttons you can think of. That said I
   must commend you for having girls who are the initiators of all
   the delicious action that occurs in these pages but also for
   writing characters that have a healthy sexuality and are not
   being forced/suffering from ! abuse or lack of self
   esteem/looking for money or status. I will end by thanking you
   for sharing your stories with us, I check back often for new
   ones. And keep on pressing those buttons, I know I like having
   mine pressed very much ;)

   Apr 7, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq

   Congratulations on having written one of the stories I would have
   liked to write
   (if I had the talent).
   I'm a long-retired scientist/engineer
   who started working on ballistic missiles in the 1950s (Atlas,
   Titan, and Thor), did semiconductor manaufacturing and research,
   designed early airbreathing missiies and the 2nd generation
   computer for Trident missile subs. Along the way I'd done
   artillery fuzes, spook recon stuff, and wound up doing military
   space stuff. What that adds up to is a lot of military toymaking,
   a lot of interaction with high level planners (up to 3 star), and
   a healthy respect for what can and cannot be done by military
   means.
   In the end, very few of the world's problems should be dealt with
   in a military fashion! I was building a generations of toys to
   avoid the need to use them. I am a pacifist, complete with
   standing on the corner with a candle and placard. The present
   junta running the U nited States is a bunch of crazies, who
   misunderstand warfare and its few uses.
   You wrote a better Iraq story than I would have for several
   reasons, one of which is that I would no be so restrained. My
   extended family (I welcome with open arms all who join by
   marriage) has Protestant, Catholic, Wiccan, Sunni, Shia, Kurd
   branches.
   I love them all, and cannot bide intolerance. Naturally, the folk
   in my large tribe tend toward the more tolerant of their
   respective beliefs.
   So you can see why I think that writing barrier-lowering
   literature is one of the higher callings.
   Congratulations and thank you.

   Vivian:
   Just got through re-reading Katrina. Like it before and it's even
   better now. I enjoy your stories as you paint such graphic, yet
   subtle pictures of what is going on. As a photographer, who found
   he could write, I really enjoy this. Many writers just can't
   convey the images they are trying to provide. You are the
   exception and I do enjoy the adult/girl situations. Keep up the
   good work. Thanks again.

   Turn Table has always been a favorite or mine. I always liked it

   Vivian, very nice story got me going and got me hard as I read

   the rest of your stories and get some relief.

   I just wonder why this wonderful story has such a low score.

   Mar 31, 2006 - Kylie and Serena

   The delightful part of this story is that the two little girls
   have set in motion actions that this grown man is almost
   powerless to prevent.
   But what your story misses is that these two little girls must
   (eventually) discover that their resulting pleasure is so
   addictive that they must return to his cock every day or two. As
   you extend this story to rectify your oversight, perhaps he can
   somehow inform his young charges that this is something that a
   great percentage of adults do frequently with great urgency, and
   that pregnancy occasionally results therefrom!

   too much flowery prose - should be writing for a culinary revue
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin

   You try way, way, WAY too hard! Just write in plain English. Your
   plot seems fine, but your attempts at "flowery" language fail
   pathetically. This misuse of language distracts the reader and
   detracts from the story.
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin

   Your intent was good but your massive use of the intellect to
   purvey your message was at best ... a miss. I lost interest by
   the tenth paragraph.
   I'm sorry to say I didn't finish your story. Being an author on
   SOL I have received many e-mails detailing the reader's dislike
   of a chapter or even the ending. I normally wouldn't send one
   like this but I felt complelled.
   Respectfully...
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin

   Excellent story line. Done very good, with just the right amount
   of humor.
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Katya

   Despite my critique, Cinema Sin was good enough that I went to
   your page and looked up this one. This one never quite goes over
   the top, just
   peeks over the crest from time to time. Since Cinema Sin shows up
   as a new tale or an update, I figure it was something of an
   experiment, trying to push a little harder.
   The sex scenes in both manage to be both allusive and very hot.
   And they bring back my regret that the one time an underager came
   on to adult me I fended her off as gracefully as I could.
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin

   Good writing, initially taken to excess. Later, when you tone it
   down a wee bit, the reader gets a chance to breathe and pays more
   attention to the characters and story without so many of the
   sentences shouting "Look at me!"
   Your lead paragraph is an example of what Clifton Fadiman
   (writing of Faulkner) once called the "nonstop, or life,
   sentence." Marathon sentences can work, in context (cf Faulkner,
   Henry James, Dwight MacDonald...and even Paige Turner [who only
   tried it once, and to good effect]), but as a lead it flags the
   reader,
   saying "You're gonna have some work ahead of you"--not inviting.
   Back in college I was working on a novel that got similarly
   florid. A friend, reading it, said "You gotta go read some
   Hemingway--as a douche."
   (On the other hand, you look like you're going to actually finish
   this novel -- mine petered out over the ensuing several years.)
   And by the way, it's spelled "Oedipal."
   But, as I said at the beginning, basically good stuff, that gets
   better as it goes along. I've been a professional writer and
   editor for 40+ years (non-fiction), and I wouldn't bother if I
   didn't actually like what you're doing right.
   Is the vagueness about the protagonist's age deliberate? It's a
   slightly different story if he's 19, or 39, or 59.
     ____________________________________________________________

   Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin

   Another beautiful story, Auntie V.
   Gosh ... but you write this stuff well. I especially liked that
   final reference to the Wizard and the Princess ... but then I am
   waiting for you to finish that story, too.
   I thoroughly enjoyed the interplay between the (assumed) older
   man and the younger girls ... but had to remind myself that this
   was fantasy ... and should be left as such. <grin>
   Thanks very much for the story ... and all your other work, as
   well.

   It is nice to read a story that is not unrealistic and is
   pleasent for both parties in the equation. I am of the opinion
   that people should be taught the skills that they will need in
   life, when they ask the question of a person whom they trust will
   teach them in the proper manner, no matter what those skills are.
   To be honest with a young person is always the policy, as deceit
   only breeds more deceit.

   Just a reiteration of my review of this story:
   Think early John Crowley - say "Engine Summer". The plot isn't
   much, though probably enough for a story this short - somewhere
   between a romance and an obsession. The characters are well
   portrayed.
   The strength of this story is the words. They are like paintings,
   alternately vivid and subtle. There are a few rough spots that a
   really good editor could fix up, but the editor would have his
   work cut out for him to repair the minor glitches without hurting
   the quality of the prose.
   Not a story for everyone due to both the writing style and the
   subject matter, but for those who like this sort of writing it's
   wonderful.

   Society's disapproval of the context of this story makes the
   argument for fantasy even stronger.

   Hi Auntie Vi;
   Noticed your new posts in ASSM ... and came here to read them.
   Marvellous imaginery ... especially in Chapter 13 (?). Damn ... I
   can't remember the chapter numbers.
   Anyhoo ... very, very enjoyable ... and I'm glad to see the
   wizard and the princess together in bed. That moves that element
   of the story along as well.
   As always, thanks for writing and posting your work. We readers
   really enjoy it.

   Auntie Viv, ROTFLMAO!
   I try to send this again. I went to copy my text, and my comment
   box disappeared.
   So I was saying that I was remiss in my last website update in
   missing you. My site gets a major overhaul on Groundhog day.
   Actually that's the day I'm loading the revised pages, and this
   time I did add you.
   This is what I had to say:
   Vivian Darkbloom
   On ASSTR at - http://asstr.org/~vivian/
   This is one of the authors I most admire! Gutsy! While she enjoys
   her Science Fiction, this Lady tackles some subjects that would
   probably have the Moron Majority (or Moral Mafia) knocking at her
   door!
   Thanks for making me a more daring writer!

   Good morning, Auntie V;
   Just read the latest chapter of your Sangrelysia story. I do hope
   there's another on its way very soon. I am sure that I'm not the
   only who has 'complained' ... but that's what you get when you
   write stories of this calibre. The better you write, the more we
   want.
   Readers are such insatiable types. <grin>
   Thanks for writing for us.
     ____________________________________________________________

   I've just finished Chapter 9 of Sangrelysia. This is an excellent
   story ... on a couple of different levels. (There are, of course,
   some elements of Piers Anthony.)
   I do thank you for writing this ... and encourage you to continue
   writing chapters. The wait for the next ones will be too long,
   regardless.
   Thanks ... entertaining your readers is, I hope, a joyful task.

   Dec 20, 2005 - Hot Kitten Cafe

   By the way did you catch any of the reviews of Lolita on its
   50th? My God, its just as if we were back in 1950 and nothing had
   changed. Well, of course there have been changes but mostly for
   the worse.
   I want you to know that Ive thought long and hard before writing
   to you again about Hot Kitten Cafe but I cant leave it alone. I
   re-read it today and I always have the impression that there are
   interesting shadows moving in the story just at the limits of my
   peripheral vision.
   The story is perfect, still at the top of my list, an erotic
   crank that turns my motor in unbearably delightful ways but, but,
   I would, so like to have a portrayal of what happens next. It
   wouldnt hurt the original at all I have rationalized, so you
   could make an addition without harming anything that came before.
   But I wonder do you hold this tale in as high regard? Do you
   think you could set the ethereal mood again? If you would be
   tempted I would be ecstatic to devour the words slipping Sapphire
   into Ezeriah as he in turn but, really any direction you felt
   like taking the boy and girls would be welcome.
   If it will sweeten my request in the slightest I am posting a
   story of my own on ASST, tonight if all goes well, entitled,
   Queen Sacrifice. And so thats my best pitch. Please dont feel
   pressed by any of this youve already rung the gong as far as Im
   concerned.

   Nov 24, 2005 - Hot Kitten Cafe

   I had to write to say that The Hot Kitten Café is the best
   erotic story, by at least an order of magnitude, that I've ever
   read. All your other stories are erudite, imaginative and
   elegantly written but HKC has an erotic tension as no other that
   has passed beneath my eyes. The story kind of roots around inside
   you evoking feelings for 'more' while at the same time I found
   myself not wanting to spoil the mood by having even one more
   added word.
   It's the kind of layered story that you want to re-read as soon
   as you finish it the first time. The characters are more nuanced
   than hammered out, the social dynamic changing, people and
   vectors coming and going in and out of focus: Not a single word
   wasted! For some reason it kept reminding me of the movie Night
   of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum.
   I suppose what makes the story so compelling is that I was always
   one step behind. As I savored and 'unwrapped' each development
   some new glance or word was drawing me away, my task unfinished.
   You veer off e.g. the 'blue cheek', the tea leaves, instructing
   and torturing the reader at the same time. And the whole ending
   with the imagery of the catls tail, as I pictured it, erect,
   twitching impatiently back and forth left me restless and
   unsatisfied: Perfect!
     ____________________________________________________________

   Nov 22, 2005 - Karina

   You obviously have fun writing this stuff, which is good.
   One thing occurs to me as I read your stories though -
   "Passersby stared at me curiously as I stood facing a haphazard
   diagonal, staring intently ahead of me in the dusk twilight. In
   lonely absence, her aura haunted me as the fading warmth of the
   day. While I thought to myself that, just maybe, I was feeling
   the way she had felt, that very last time I saw her, standing in
   that same spot, facing the same direction, at a bizarre angle to
   the flow of traffic, ignoring the absent stares of orthogonally
   half-drunk voyagers in bright tacky warm-weather clothes, feeling
   the warm roughness of the sandy cement against the soles of my
   bare feet."
   It seems too much - as if the story is groaning under the weight
   of its own self-importance. Good writing for me is light and
   snappy. I would never write anything like the paragraph I've
   quoted, mainly because I don't have the ability, but also because
   I write with a reader in mind. I want to transport them to the
   world I've created, not impress them with my use of language. The
   story is king - cut, cut, cut - murder your babies.
   Sorry, got carried away there. Very impressive all the same.

   But noooooooooo!
   YOU had to go post "A Badly Writin Sex Story" last night, and I
   had to read ALL of it before I approved it, and I couldn't eat
   while I was reading or I'd have spewed breakfast all over the
   keyboard.
   And not only that, you made me sit here and ask, "WHY DIDN'T I
   THINK OF THAT????"
   Over and over.
   Repeatedly.
   Ad nauseum.

   I just loved your story entitled Karina. Never have I read a
   sweeter and more fulfilling tale of rapturous girllove. My only
   problem was the unexpected sexual maturity of a precotious girl
   so young. But it's exciting to imagine that there might be such a
   girl out there...somewhere, just waiting for the caring
   insightful lover to come around. From your bio, I can well expect
   you might have enjoyed more than a few sapphic trysts with your
   preteen converts.
   Keep up the good work, Vivian. I'm just loving it.

   Aug 5, 2005 - Karina

   I have just read Karina. What can I say? Thank you. It's so
   delightful to read something that's easily two orders better than
   what's circulating around a.s.s. or asstr.org these days. It's
   reminiscent of days long gone:
   ah yes, those were truly memorable times, before Usenet got so
   tragically diluted.
   Karina is just refreshingly good. It's simply so good that I'm
   willing to overlook the tense shifting, or expressions like
   "burgeoning codpiece" and "curving steel-edged ironwood root."
   You will have to take me on my word that this is unspeakably high
   praise from me indeed.
   Karina struck a chord with me. It left me with that feeling one
   gets after a truly remarkable film: introspective, and both
   satisfied yet profoundly empty because it's over. A rare gift, to
   be sure. Karina's one major flaw is that it's a short story and
   not a 1000 page novel.
   The best part is that you have more stories. I'm tempted, but no,
   I won't read them all in one night.
   I have also read your short essay titled "Girl Love." There is
   plenty to be said, but that discourse can wait for another time.
   It's late and I wanted to send this comment before bed. If I
   don't do it now, I never will.
   Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I am genuinely happy to see
   that no Microsoft products were used in the creation of your
   site. It might be reasonable to assume then that you're a Mac
   user. If that's the case,
   don't worry, I won't hold it against you. Nobody's perfect.

   I really enjoyed the non-fiction writing on girl love. Yes, have
   to admit that I have seen some very cute 9- to 10-year olds that
   I would like to get up close and personal with. However, with all
   the taboos I would never even try such a thing.
   Maybe that's why I enjoy reading about cross generational sex and
   love. Your story about the guy and his pre-teen lover in the
   tropics was great. The story, while fiction, had some truth to
   it. Wonder how many couple would love to give their kid to
   someone else to be with.

   I found your stories while browsing through ASSTR, and I
   sincerely like your writings. I've even thought much of the same
   thing about those PED XING signs... All your stories have made me
   laugh, while doing that other job. *wink*wink*
   Just so you know, this is the first time I've bothered to write
   any of the authors I've read. Your work is so different from all
   the other stuff I've read. It's quite refreshing to read an
   author who not only knows where to put their "they're"s and their
   "their"s, but aside from grammar, your work takes a radically
   different viewpoint on the whole issue, it's something I can't
   quite describe. Possibly something about the fact that you have
   no problem including that kind of humor in this kind of a story.
   I don't know; I don't feel like writing an essay about it... but
   I like it.
   Thank you, and please carry on whatever it is that you're doing.

   I just read Hot Kitten Cafe on ASSM and have to admit I'm at a

   almost mid-paragraph. I have no idea if that was the end or not.
   Is there more?

   A fantastic story!!!
   I loved every second of it. I first saw the sci-fi code and
   thought yuck. But, I loved the story "Karina", so I took a
   chance. I hope that doesn't make me a geek for reading sci-fi. I
   already own enough geekness.
   I'm amazed. The story was well put together. I of course thought
   the preface should have been first. But, it was still worth the
   read.
   I have a hard time remembering what was in each part. But after
   Jasmin and her old man find there home and she wants to travel...
   The next part they are fight against the inquisition. I found a
   peace of mind, with her finding her family and sharing the love,
   then all of sudden I'm jerked out of chair because they are
   looking for trouble.
   I've also read your other stories. So this one was complete
   opposite. And it was very nice!
   I would love to meet one of you male characters they are all so
   submissive!
   Thank you for writing!!
