Well structured, well written, a pleasure to read. Some stories on here are shallow, unimaginative and written to a barely literate standard, not this one!
A bit hard to believe st first. Crystall must too sluggish to begin with but I guess she figured they didn't have time to waste on niceties. I was pleased to see they made love or petted anywhere. I like the idea of using what is available. My love making days were like that. Spontaneity is good.
Sorry that I could only give you a FIVE (They really need a higher rating for special cases like this)!!!
Very well written - Great pacing - Look forward to many follow-on chapters!
Keep up the Great Work!
By one of my favorite authors on this site. A well told story that can either stand alone or have more. I personally think they should have at least one more chapter.
Another "Erotic Coupling" story that ended in a "Romance" story. I DO NOT read "Erotic Coupling" stories because fucking as described is usually the same every time so I ALWAYS or usually just skip very quickly over the fucking. Usually I found early on I skipped over the whole story (if you could call it a story) if it was an Erotic Coupling farce. THIS is the only author I read all his stuff because he CAN tell a STORY!!!, in any catagory...
I think this has to be one of Mr. Storyman's best plotted and written stories, if not THE best. Crystal seems a little desperate, but then, after a bunch of years without a mate, maybe she was. And certainly if she was in love with William and didn't realize it, that could well have fueled her actions. William was obviously a bit slow on the uptake, but he would be, having decided to be in permanent mourning for his lost wife. Even the soft-porn SF story plot and writing were good, far better than the quality of the actual soft porn SF from the 1960s and 1970s when it was a popular genre. In some ways the first couple of sections reminded me of Anne McCafery's writing style.
While the story wrapped up with a satisfying conclusion for all, I have to admit that I'd been hoping for a *very* interesting shopping expedition together, with them coming home to share some of the results of the shopping. And maybe another chapter in the SF story too! :-)
This story is not an Erotic Couplings story. The Quiet Man is in fact a Romance, a tender love story from the first to the last, and this is to be commended, because good romance stories are hard to find. This story is a Five Star story all the way, but its rather abrupt ending shows that it really needs to be finished, and this would take another chapter at least.
oh man....where's the rest? I was so so hoping for more, much more for this was incredibly beyond good. Very well written and with a heck of a lot of feeling and emotion. Please come back to it and write more.
brilliantly written, but like many other commenters have said, i think it is crying out for more,
I know that this was written over 7 years ago but it definitely needs a follow up. 5 stars!
Where's chapter two, three, four, ... excellent writing, great flow and storyline. Thank you.
