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 ____________________________________________________________ Jun 20, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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 ____________________________________________________________ Jun 20, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears 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 R ____________________________________________________________ Jun 20, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears It would have been a lot better if you'd kept politics out of it. The elections are over, there will be another in a bit over 2 years. ____________________________________________________________ Jun 19, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears I have read your efforts in the past, have you marked in my favorites, and just wanted to thank you for practicing your craft in a manner that reaches out and not only entertains, but touches places, not often reached. Thank you, -OL ____________________________________________________________ Jun 18, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears 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. B ____________________________________________________________ Jun 18, 2006 - Katya If you had half the fun writing this as me reading, you must be a very happy girl I'm sure you are a teacher for english literature in real life. ____________________________________________________________ Jun 18, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears I would like to get this stuff you are smoking ;) ____________________________________________________________ Jun 18, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears I simply cannot believe the low score for this story.....although I should quit being surprised 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 written and I personally am glad to have read it! Thanks for writing, J ____________________________________________________________ Jun 17, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears 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 J ____________________________________________________________ Jun 17, 2006 - Muzak To My Ears 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! Regards, G____ ____________________________________________________________ Jun 13, 2006 - Karina HOLY GOD!!! A story, of what should be the most forbiden activity, told with caring sensitivity. One of 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. G ____________________________________________________________ Jun 13, 2006 - The Hot Kitten Cafe Difinitly a "9" - Very Good. The inuendo is most erotic! G ____________________________________________________________ Jun 13, 2006 - Turn table A nice twist to constant theme. Now I'm wondering what the agents are thinking, and what they will do. G ____________________________________________________________ Jun 12, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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". C____ Vivian Darkbloom wrote: > > Not sure what X2S is...

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. Regards, G ____________________________________________________________ Jun 11, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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! K ____________________________________________________________ Jun 11, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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? C_____ Vivian Darkbloom wrote: > > Hi C_____ > > Thank you for your supportive comments about my stories. > > >> > What Fun!

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.

"Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it." --George Bernard Shaw ____________________________________________________________ Jun 4, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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 good, interesting chapter m8 please do go on, thanks ____________________________________________________________ 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, ____________________________________________________________ Jun 3, 2006 - Sangrelysia As always looking foreward to the next installment in this venture. Wonderful use of analogy and visualization. ____________________________________________________________ Jun 3, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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! ____________________________________________________________ Jun 2, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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 ____________________________________________________________ Jun 2, 2006 - Sangrelysia Witty, Charismatic and quite entertaining. Keep up with this style and you will attain the ranks of fame with the dezins of this abode. ____________________________________________________________ May 31, 2006 - Sangrelysia I am enjoying it! ____________________________________________________________ May 30, 2006 - Sangrelysia Hi Vivian, Nice and interesting. Please keep up with your writing of this intrigueing and entertaining story. ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ May 30, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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! ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Kylie and Serena I was able, without hesitation, to vote "9" - very good - for this story. Your introduction emphasuzung "fantacy" let me relax [lol] and enjoy. Without you describing physical features of your main characters I was able to "see" the action as if seated along side. Wonderful! ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Sangrelysia Yes it is fun to go overboard every now and then. Maybe you should look into getting published though, the quality of your work certainly merits it. I really did enjoy the story and gave it the 10 that I think it deserves. ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Mist Opportunities oh, how I would love to live in such a wonderful world. thanks for sharing your fantasy ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Sangrelysia nice magic m8 good storyline please continue thanks ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Sangrelysia A little overboard on the political allusions, but overall an enjoyable read. Keep up the good work. ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Mist Opportunities A great story up until the last paragraphs when you went a little overbord with the fancy verbal imagery.*grin* Other than that, an intriguing tale with an interesting premise. Now I'm off to reald more of your works . ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Mist Opportunities 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. ____________________________________________________________ May 29, 2006 - Sangrelysia Outstanding!! More please and soon. Thank you. ____________________________________________________________ May 28, 2006 - Katya A good story but those high-flown words made the story flow a bit whimsical. Keep the words SIMPLE. ____________________________________________________________ May 27, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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. :-) ____________________________________________________________ May 27, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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. ____________________________________________________________ May 26, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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. ____________________________________________________________ May 20, 2006 - Mist Opportunities 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 ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2006 - Kylie and Serena Another winner. This one is nicely sensuous, from start to finish. ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2006 - PED XING That was X-actly what I though it was going to be. Heh. ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2006 - PED XING Amusing... in a twisted way :-) Punchline needs a bit more... something though. Lacks punch. ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2006 - PED XING LOL ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2006 - PED XING Now there are a set of puns worthy of Xanth. An X rated Xanth... ____________________________________________________________ May 18, 2006 - Turntable LOL! Nice little twist. Very different from the style of "cinema sin." Fun. ____________________________________________________________ May 15, 2006 - Katya What _were_ you smoking when you wrote this? ROTFL! It's really hard to choke the chicken while chortling. Gnostic scriptures, alliteration, Lovecraft and purple romance? ____________________________________________________________ May 15, 2006 - Jasmin outstanding story..... ____________________________________________________________ May 14, 2006 - Jasmin A terrific mix of sex, humour and love ... erm ... or something like that! 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. Still ... a lot of fun and some truly sensual descriptions. Thanks a bunch for the pleasure, Aunt V. As always, we readers are the lucky ones. ____________________________________________________________ May 14, 2006 - Jasmin Very good story, are you planning on going anywhere with it? With all the loose ends, I see several possibilities. ____________________________________________________________ May 14, 2006 - Jasmin A lovely romp. Thanks! ____________________________________________________________ May 14, 2006 - Jasmin Cool story. I hope you do more in a similar vein. ____________________________________________________________ May 13, 2006 - Jasmin A real writer you be. You should publish this. Plot, decent POV, intrigue, sex and a fun resolution. ____________________________________________________________ May 12, 2006 - Jasmin A wonderful story! I had for some reason skipped over it on your asstr.org page, I am glad you posted it here. Thanks for sharing it with us. ____________________________________________________________ May 12, 2006 - Jasmin I've read this story some time back somewhere else, and it's so nice to find it on SOL. funny, romantic, phantastic ! ____________________________________________________________ May 12, 2006 - Jasmin Well, out of pure boredom I started to read this, and it is actually very nice! Amusing too. Nice work. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 30, 2006 - Turntable Okay, I had to sneak a peak at another of your stories and picked this one. This one made me laugh loud and long, bringing my wife in to see what was so funny. Oops. "Nothing, dear," I said, relieved she wasn't wearing her glasses. It'll take hours for me to stop grinning. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 30, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Wel, that was fun, and damn funny! It certainly had me chuckling a lot. Thanks for that. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 29, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches That was so cool. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 29, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Thanks for this one. I think that I read it on your site ... 'cause the punch line is still a hoot! ____________________________________________________________ Apr 28, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Oh my, too funny. I laughed my way through that. And the ending line was pure poetry...Thin mint? You have a fantastic sense of humor and a great gift with the written word. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 28, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Thank you for a fun story. Fits well with the Kenny, Frank, and Russ Girl Scout Nookie collection over at asstr.org ____________________________________________________________ Apr 28, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Very interesting story line. Some of the lines sort of reminded me of some Monty Python skits. Kepp up the great work. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 28, 2006 - Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches Miss Darkbloom this was a very cool bit of fun. Good humor and just a lil touch of kink. Thanks much and I plan to see what else I find of yours. ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 23, 2006 - Katya It would be a lot easier to read this without the complex adjectives describing situations and body parts. Just my 2 cents worth. :-) ____________________________________________________________ Apr 23, 2006 - Katya - chapter 5 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. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 23, 2006 - Katya A delightful story delightfully told! I especially enjoyerd the alliterative "luxuriated in lascivious languor" It is such a pleasure to find someone writing in this genre who is also literate. Please write more ____________________________________________________________ Apr 22, 2006 - Katya Sorry you're not getting higher scores. Your writing is great! However, as I always say: "Eclectic husbandry of sesquepedalia precludes dysphasia." Or, on the other hand, most readers on this site might need a dictionary..haha.. Keep it up, I like your style. It's very refreshing. Don't sweat the scores. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 21, 2006 - 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 15, 2006 - hallo! IS MY FIRST DAY ON YOUR SIDE, LIKE HOW YOU MAKE IT. LOOKS ABSOLUT NICE THIS SITE I KNOW IS ALOT OF WORK. ABOUT YOUR STORYS LIKE WHAT YOU WRITE. ABOUT MY ENGLISH IS ABSOLUT BAD BECAUSE IAM FROM GERMANY. HEY WHEN I HAVE READ MORE WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND VIEW OF MY THOUGHTS. best wishes from europe ____________________________________________________________ Apr 14, 2006 - Hot Kitten Cafe Since I see that you are re-doing some of your stories and re-posting others puuuleeeeeaaaase consider a sequal to Hot Kitten Cafe... simply the hottest erotic story I've ever read. If you do... ... ...I'd... I'd be your best friend! ____________________________________________________________ Apr 13, 2006 - Katya - chapter 4 Priceless ... absolutely priceless, Auntie Viv! Ah ... an excellent chapter ... continuing this story line. I know that you fashion and sculpt your writing ... but I do hope the next instalment is in the hopper. Thanks for the entertainment and the pleasure. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 9, 2006 - Lydia Very very naughty indeed I must say , ah yes that was the point. Well then it was perfectly done. Enchore Please ____________________________________________________________ Apr 9, 2006 - Lydia pls continue ____________________________________________________________ Apr 9, 2006 - Lydia Wow, Vivian, I think that's the hotest yet. I gave you a "10" and you deserve it. Good story. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 9, 2006 - Karina Great story. Thank you for these beautiful pages. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 8, 2006 - Lydia Vivian, again a great story, like the build up and the finish. Enjoy the naughtiess with out the guilt. Very good. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 8, 2006 - Lydia Love the story and hope too find more of your stories. Keep up the good wrok , how can i find more of your stories ____________________________________________________________ Apr 8, 2006 - Karina Lyrical and written without the rude bludgeons of stroke porn. This is how a love story should be written. For me it is more moving than the usual blow by blow descriptions of panting sex. ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 7, 2006 - Lydia Great. I'm sorry that it's not part of a longer story. You only fufilled to of the 9 possibilities ;-} ____________________________________________________________ Apr 6, 2006 - Karina 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. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 5, 2006 - Turntable Turn Table has always been a favorite or mine. I always liked it and have often gone back to re-read it on Asstr. Other songs for you to consider in future stories are songs by KoRn. They're lyrics often include things about children. Daddy, Mr. Rogers, Trash; are some I think you may enjoy. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 3, 2006 - After the stories I've read (most recently Cinema Sin), you are absolutely and totally my favorite artist on ASSTR. Just thought you might like to know ____________________________________________________________ Apr 1, 2006 - Kylie and Serena Excellent. A 10. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 1, 2006 - Kylie and Serena very good.I enjoyed it ____________________________________________________________ Apr 1, 2006 - Kylie and Serena Vivian, very nice story got me going and got me hard as I read the story. Nice. It seems that stories are more erotic if written by a woman, and a mature women even hotter. I cann't wait to read the rest of your stories and get some relief. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 1, 2006 - Turntable 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! ____________________________________________________________ Mar 31, 2006 - Kylie and Serena Mmmm. Excellent story. Now if it had just been Daddy/daughter and young friend . . . :-) ____________________________________________________________ Mar 31, 2006 - Kylie and Serena You have some great stories and this is another to add to your collection. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 29, 2006 - Turntable I laughed my ass off!!! ____________________________________________________________ Mar 24, 2006 - Turntable Very clever. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 24, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq An excellent story so I gave it a 10. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 24, 2006 - Thanksgiving I just wanted to tell you how much I love your story "Thanksgiving," and make one request: Please, more incest! A little girl with her own Daddy, or a little girl with her Daddy and Mommy, or at least with Mommy knowing and approving--how sweet and wonderful and natural and right that is. :-) ____________________________________________________________ Mar 21, 2006 - Cinema Sin Wow. Almost overdid it with the flowery prose, but a really great story. Very different take on the older man / younger girl theme, romantic and hot all at the same time. Great read. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 19, 2006 - Cinema Sin Yowch! Was this a banned entry from the Bulwer-Lytton writing contest? A little too purple for my taste, but it *does* follow the style. Write on! ____________________________________________________________ Mar 19, 2006 - Hi Auntie I blundered upon your site just a few months ago, and have mightily enjoyed it. There is just something...uh...fecundmellow about it. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 18, 2006 - Cinema Sin 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. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 17, 2006 - Katya just a great story i hope you write more soon. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 13, 2006 - Katya this is a excellent series carnt wait for the next one well done. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Katya I love your use of language in all your work ...not just this story. You, dear lady are one of my favorite authors and have been for quite some time. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Karina fantastic - more ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Katya can't wait !!!! ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Katya hey i luv ur work!! keep it up! :D ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Karina 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. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 12, 2006 - Katya We thought it was cute using the biblical conitations with someone else's discriptions of what was writtin...and then in his minds eye all the things that tanspired as well, and then there is the " rerward for being a " good 7 faithful" servent...that was really good !! Thank you Miss Vivian..we appreciated that alot..have a great week... ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq Thank you! I cried. This story so reminded me of the "little" girl I could not bring back with me from Viet Nam... ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq Very good story, but it was over all too soon. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Katya Great effort! More please. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Katya Good start. Cannot wait until the next chapter. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq Lovely, simply lovely. My attraction to stories about children is generally based upon my pantie fetish . . . a longing to experience my first orgasm yet again . . . and . . . what? To be that child seduced with sensuality and affection and LOVE. A love that I never had or have had. You gave/give me that for which I am grateful. Thank you. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq Damn girl...You even took time to research for an erotic story. Very well done and amazingly hot without being vulgar A perfect mark. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq except for the obvious bush hatinng it was a decent enough story ____________________________________________________________ Mar 10, 2006 - Reelin' in Iraq Nice story, even better sentiments! Cheers ____________________________________________________________ Mar 6, 2006 - Katya That was one of the most erotic things I have read in a while . Please post more of this story. Thanks for the read. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 4, 2006 - Katya Very good so far ____________________________________________________________ Mar 2, 2006 - Katya dont leave us hanging ____________________________________________________________ Mar 2, 2006 - Katya Excellent start,looking forward to further chapters. Keep up the great writing. ____________________________________________________________ Mar 2, 2006 - Katya Excellent, so far. Please let me know when you continue the story. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 26, 2006 - School of Tender Rockers loved the idea of a grown man the reluctant toy of so many young ladies. your writing is very captivating. would love reading more. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 24, 2006 - School of Tender Rockers great imagination! ____________________________________________________________ Feb 24, 2006 - School of Tender Rockers Very erotic,just like your other offerings. You have some imagination and a way with words. Thanks for the great reads. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 24, 2006 - School of Tender Rockers A very good quick stroke story. Thanks ____________________________________________________________ Feb 23, 2006 - Karina Beautiful story. I could almost thing I was there. I'd give you a 10, but don't see a place to score. You scored big with me on this one. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 23, 2006 - School of Tender Rockers what an imagination! ____________________________________________________________ Feb 13, 2006 - Karina What a beautiful love story. Thank You ____________________________________________________________ Feb 13, 2006 - Karina I have seldom been so move and tittilated by an online story. Congratulations on a great story. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 13, 2006 - Karina 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. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 12, 2006 - Karina You sure use a lot of similes and metaphors, but I still gave it a ten. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 11, 2006 - Karina Well written and hot too. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 11, 2006 - Karina You have a flare for putting a subject in the right prospective.Will watch for your next effort. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 11, 2006 - Karina I saw this as a gentle shared experience between two beings. take away all convention and it was a real love story.Thank you!!!. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 10, 2006 - Karina Oh that was beautifull and so sensitive. I am sure it is 100% from your imagination. Oh yeh? Is there anymore to it? Thank you. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 10, 2006 - Karina I do remember reading on your site ... but it was better this time around. I will be forever grateful for the metaphor of the 'million cherry blossoms'. That certainly is an image worth keeping. Society's disapproval of the context of this story makes the argument for fantasy even stronger. Thanks very much for the pleasure of this story. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 10, 2006 - Karina delicious !! ____________________________________________________________ Feb 10, 2006 - Karina WORDS FAIL ME, BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOUR STORY INDICATES THAT THEY DO NOT FAIL YOU! FANTASTIC STORY, BUT MADE BETTER BY YOUR WRITING! THANKS. ps: this is my FIRST time at commenting on any story, and I'm a long time reader/bumbling writer. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 7, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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. ____________________________________________________________ Feb 4, 2006 - Wow! Very nice writing. Yummy. ____________________________________________________________ Jan 28, 2006 - 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! ____________________________________________________________ Jan 23, 2006 - Sangrelysia I've just finished Chapter 12 ... and I'm sure I'm only going to repeat what your other readers have already said. This is a thoroughly enjoyable and enchanting read. Frankly, I'd like to be able to put off reading any more until you're done ... but I can't. So ... your ever loyal readership remains hungry for more ... more ... more. Thanks for what you've given us so far. ____________________________________________________________ Jan 12, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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. ____________________________________________________________ Jan 4, 2006 - Sangrelysia 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 26, 2005 - Precious Auntie! I really can't decide which of your writings I apreciate better, the 'prurient' or the political ones, seriously! I bow deeply to your talent. ____________________________________________________________ Dec 24, 2005 - Girl Love "I would rather fail in a cause that someday will triumph than to win in a cause that I know someday will fail." -- Woodrow Wilson ^.^ ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ Dec 5, 2005 - Sangrelysia Love "Sangrelysia." Nice political allegory, complete with a "bumbling King George." Looking forward to more. Keep your tongue burried squarely in your cheek. ____________________________________________________________ Dec 2, 2005 - Hello....I just wanted to tell you how wonderful you writing is. It makes my heart sing just reading your stories. I hope you're going to add more stories to your website. Thank you again. ____________________________________________________________ Nov 26, 2005 - how different,very captivating,your feelings flow; like the wind in the fall, when blowing through the multi flavored leaves, not knowing where you send me,one leaf to the next;;;;;; vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvGOOD ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ Nov 20, 2005 - A Badly Writin Sex Story I especially liked the ridiculously written sex story! ____________________________________________________________ Nov 3, 2005 - I'm not sure this email will get to you, or if you want them to. But I write to let you know how much I enjoy your work. Your writing not only shows all the sensual delight in the subject matter, but also revels the respect and concern for characters much of the world would refuse to believe. I?m rapidly becoming your biggest fan and I hope to read, enjoy, and learn from your future stories. ____________________________________________________________ Oct 18, 2005 - i Love your stories...and the making-people-happy viewpoint behind them. ____________________________________________________________ Oct 12, 2005 - I love your stories. The one about Iraq was beautiful, I'd love to read a sequel to that one. Gorgeous style. Kudos! ____________________________________________________________ Oct 8, 2005 - I somehow browsed ASSTR and found your delightful page. Your philosophy is refreshing, for which I thank you. ____________________________________________________________ Oct 5, 2005 - love your stories.the way you write ,i can just visulize what is going on.i look forward to reading more of your stories. ____________________________________________________________ Oct 4, 2005 - Sangrelysia I've just started to read "Sangrelysia" ... and this is going to be a good one! I'll keep an eye on ASSM ... to check on new chapters. Please continue writing. We readers are unanimous in our opinion that ... as Tony the Tiger would have said ... you're great! Thanks for writing ____________________________________________________________ Oct 2, 2005 - I enjoy your stories very much. I think these are written with style and caring. ____________________________________________________________ Oct 1, 2005 - "Y'all" meaning you are from the south or Oklahoma? (which is where I am from)Not many people outside of OK have I heard use that expression. Back to your stories, interesting concepts, could be more in-depth (I think that is a personal preference on my part), all-in-all good work ____________________________________________________________ Oct 1, 2005 - A Badly Writin Sex Story I LOVE the bad writing story. It had all of my pet peeves, lol. I hope you didn't use any of my stories as inspiration... ____________________________________________________________ Sep 22, 2005 - A Badly Writin Sex Story So you're more interesting than most, quirky, funny, pretentious in that unpretentious sort of way, amusing, even (and I say this meaning no disrespect) literary. I just wish you'd stop making fun of my editors, or the fact that my penis has to bend at the ceiling. ____________________________________________________________ Sep 22, 2005 - leave politics out of your stories ____________________________________________________________ Sep 22, 2005 - A Badly Writin Sex Story This story is hysterical! (or at least I was, while reading it!) thanks for posting it ____________________________________________________________ Sep 22, 2005 - A Badly Writin Sex Story Here we go again! I got up late and wanted to speed things along by eating breakfast while I checked the stories in the Moderation Center. 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. Until it went out at ten after the hour. I hope you're happy! 'Cause I sure am. Damned good.. ____________________________________________________________ Sep 20, 2005 - Loved your work! ____________________________________________________________ Sep 16, 2005 - Magnificent job formatting and the slow building to a gentle climax. Your knack for prose is superb! ____________________________________________________________ Sep 13, 2005 - VIVIAN-read more of your stories-enjoyed the hawaian girl so much- uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu turn me on and i get so moist reading what uuuuuuuuuuuuuu have- ____________________________________________________________ Sep 12, 2005 - uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu are such a great writter am so pleased and thrilled to read your stories ____________________________________________________________ Sep 10, 2005 - Viv, you and the likes of you, though creative and having a modicum of skills, are the scourge of the earth. Your palate's hunger to demonize MANkind and bring forth heretical thoughts for possible blossom fortunately will always be confined to a minority of "impossibilists", or atheists. Now we are in "the end days", and lucky for you that you may well see it all. That is your fondest wish; is it not. ____________________________________________________________ Sep 10, 2005 - Karina 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. ____________________________________________________________ Sep 5, 2005 - Cinema Sin It's all YOUR fault! All I wanted to do was scan through your post to make sure that it wasn't screwed up like a couple of the others (new server still has some bugs in it) and I found myself READING THE WHOLE THING before I approved it. Now I'm behind, and it's all because you wrote such a nicely engaging, erotic little story that was fun to read! ____________________________________________________________ Aug 8, 2005 - wow ____________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________ Aug 5, 2005 - Great stories!! Love to read about girls with girls!! ____________________________________________________________ Aug 3, 2005 - 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. ____________________________________________________________ Aug 1, 2005 - Katya I enjoyed the story of the little girl and the babysitter having sex in the bathroom. I can't decide if I like to read about little girls and older men or little boys and older women but both are exciting. Thanks for sharing your writing talent. ____________________________________________________________ Jul 23, 2005 - Thank you Vivian for you sweet erotic tales of young girls enjoying their sexuality. I enjoy reading and imagining myself in them. I enjoy that they are non violent and consentual. You write with an amaising beauty and your stories are never vulgar. I can realy see your characters in my minds eye. They seem very real. I eagerly await your next sexy tale! Please keep up the good work. ____________________________________________________________ Jul 17, 2005 - My -goodness-, you have an exquisite talent with words. I'd be surprised to learn you don't write (in some capacity) professionally. I don't often think to send in comments, but I've just read Thanksgiving, and it was captivating from start to finish. I think I'm off to read some more. Thanks for sharing your gift. ____________________________________________________________ Jul 13, 2005 - hi! I really love your stories. especially the younger girls with older men. I dont know where you get your ideas but its great to hear others have the same interest I do. ____________________________________________________________ Jul 7, 2005 - 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. ____________________________________________________________ May 19, 2005 - Hot Kitten Cafe I just read Hot Kitten Cafe on ASSM and have to admit I'm at a complete loss. I enjoyed the story, especially the heavy sensuality in the descriptions. But, the story just seemed to end almost mid-paragraph. I have no idea if that was the end or not. Is there more? ____________________________________________________________ Mar 27, 2005 - The Invasion of the Bawdy Snatches (repost) I'm glad you did that. I enjoyed it a lot and I'm sorry that I missed it the first time through. Excellent work. ____________________________________________________________ Nov 13, 2004 - Jesus and the Children My stomach hurts for laughing. What a hand grenade! Needless to say, this is very ballsy and clever. "The Son the Lord of the Angel" -- who would have thought I'd find my theological lesson for the day on alt.sex.stories! ____________________________________________________________ Sep 9, 2004 - Jasmin 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!! ____________________________________________________________ Sep 4, 2004 - Jasmin I love the humor! Good story so far. I love the political innuendos too! Thanks for writing. ____________________________________________________________ Aug 30, 2004 - Jasmin I like your story, including your science fiction idea of a general purpose reality altering device. I also liked your story that involved Pascal's triangle. ____________________________________________________________ Aug 14, 2004 - Karina Lovely story. I loved it. Thank you. ____________________________________________________________ Apr 6, 2004 - Reelin' in Iraq Thank you for a beautiful story. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ For more stories, please visit our site: /~vivian
