Quite an interesting story.
This story had me wondering, confused, and asking if you knew where you were when you wrote this. Everything seemed to be a reality, but all in different time periods. Satellite television, slaves, excellent use of words when speaking... However, after a bit more reading, the fictional story line dawned upon me. Very interesting story. Very good writing. |

Oh dear.
I was quite confused as well. You talked about it being the twentieth century and then went on about America's state of independence, or rather, its lack thereof and pornography on television. It was a lot to take in, politically and socially but I do believe I enjoyed it. I vouch for Nicholas, though. He seems to have more spirit, more zest in him than the Yves fellow. And the protagonist should be taken down from her high horse All in all, I'd say it’s a story well-written! |

Extraordinary.
A remarkable piece of writing bringing together colonial--post colonial history with erotica. Very interesting story line and conclusion. The gardener’s tools seem to bring Hedonists down to earth---even in “Eden.” Suggests the garden and the snake. |

It was Umbra’s illustration of Creamfields (written by Bradley Stoke) that first made me sit up and say “Wow!” Not only is the picture beautiful in its own right, but it also is Stoke’s piece. The light, the movement, the atmosphere, the chaos and sexiness of the setting—it is a perfect companion to the text.
I love Umbra’s women. You can’t help but like the sex appeal of the dancer in Creamfields.

Wonderfully written... I

this one, but I am so glad that I did. The clarity of the writing and
the depth of the main character and what he goes through is amazing. |

What the last guy said I don’t read the sci-fi stuff, but this one is excellent. I didn’t get a rise out of it, mind you, but it was such a good story. Anyway, this was excellent. I’d love to see more of your writing, regardless of its genre. |

Fascinating I’ve read all four parts and I am intrigued by your story. Very believable characters, strong sense of place, atmosphere and a feeling of reality. You make your characters come to life vividly and emphatically. Each of them are worthy of further investigations. I hope you will grant us so. Meanwhile I’m looking forward to the next four degrees of this intimacy. |

Brilliant writing in a story so engrossing I wanted more. I enjoyed feeling like I was there in all those different exotic countries and settings. The characters are each unique, well developed, and interesting. The relationships and the sex scenes were very satisfying. I would pay for a novella like this, but it was free. I will look for more from this excellent writer. |

Good for you. Good for you. At first I thought you were going to end it with Diana converting to Christianity. Thank goodness you didn’t. It was a hot story and a sad tale. Thank you for presenting the Gods with compassion, especially the fair Aphrodite. |

Riveting story Very elegant writing! Your characters are fully fleshed-out despite (I think) the difficulty in keeping them from seeming like caricatures, or otherwise 2-D characters. One of the things that makes this story so smooth is that you were very faithful to Diana's POV, and I experienced it all through her. Good job! The mood and atmosphere you created were perfectly matched to the story, and all the erotic parts were very much an organic outgrowth of it, not gratuitously stuck in there. Thank you for submitting this! | |||||||||||||

Very well done I think Jenny should get the same treatment from Cherry that the dumb sod is getting but cut him off from Cherry.
It isn’t right that the husband belittle the wife like he does just because she can’t produce children doesn’t give him the right to drag a hooker into the house right in front of his wife. |

For a change, here’s an illustration I created for Bradley Stoke. The pic is for a short story called “Doubly Endowed“, the subject matter of which will be obvious (hopefully) from the pic! I heartily recommend his website, where you’ll find the finished, colour version of this illustration (Doubly Endowed can be found in the short stories section, page five). |

Bradley Stoke has set up a wonderful scene by omitting rationalization or embarrassment. It’s the matter-of-factness that makes this rather fantastical setting come off as perfectly normal. It’s a college. A college devoted to sexual studies. (I think I might want to enrol!) It’s intelligently written with subtleties that glide the reader right along.
Very interesting premise with a nice story to go along with it.
I really enjoyed it! I think many of you might as well! |

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

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

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

THAT IS SOME VERY GOOD WRITING
I enjoyed getting lost in the details as they come out. Your sentences so clearly describe actions as thoughts occur I could see her moving to kiss her new lover. That description, "tasting sweat and navigating the contours of the hard reddish skin of the aureole of motherhood," just awed me. | ||||||||||||

Dressed in School?
Bradley Stoke did a humorous short on this variation - where a girl had to go to school clothed and not let anyone touch in a world where everyone was nude and highly sensual. |
