    |  | This is not really a fictional story - nor properly a BDSM theme but it describes a young girl's experience of non vanilla sex. |

    |  | Although most readers at this site probably do want to read about pain, whips and chains, I agree with libco - a story doesn’t have to be about those things to have an element of domination.   I liked first person stories like this one - they have a nice ‘chatty’ and intimate feel, particularly when the author is so generous about sharing his/her thoughts as this one has been. 
 I think it was a big mistake not to edit the story.  The style alone should have been sufficient to create that sense of it having been written by a seventeen year old girl.  Errors are simply jarring, and don't do a story any favours under any circumstances.
 The story itself is good, but it’s kind of suffered a little from the old  “telling rather than showing”.  I felt there were many instances where the characters could have said it better than the author.  Maybe that's just me?
 Overall, it's an enjoyable and rather titilating read.
 (7/10)

  (Edit)  (Oct 19, 2004)Thank you Alex for your criticisms. I take many of your points and I can't disagree.The lack of dialogue was deliberate-thats how it happened and part of the impact for me was that there was little dialogue. I wrote it for me really and not as a story - I will write for readers next time and hope to improve.))
 thanks

    |  | Very arousing.  It is D/S story as far as I'm considered.  The theme of domination and surrender are patently obvious to me.  And all the better because it avoides the inane master/slave cliches. (8/10)

  (Edit)  (Oct 15, 2004)Thank you libco. It was sweet of you to be so complimentary. I think it was D/s for me but not extreme. I am actually pleased that 2 reviewers each got a different impression.

    |  | You warned us about the editing, and the missing BDSM, and you were right. The story does have an interesting quality to it; the excitement of first love, the inquisitiveness of new experiences, the unfettered flow of fresh young memories.
 Encourage the young lady to write again! (7/10)

  (Edit)  (Oct 15, 2004)thank you chksng. Your comments are appreciated It was a very personal story. It was and still is very vivid in my memory. I wasn't too sure about submitting it but now I am glad I did :)I have writen lots of similar type stories but I dont think they would be of interest. I am going to see if I have the imagination to write something which is more in keeping with tenor of this library.
