Mouse's Maiden Voyage

Craig Revel Horwood - notorious for
harsh one-liner critique

In this blogpost, curl4ever and I are going to collaborate on tearing apart ... reviewing (wink) a story by Gorza. In his innocence, curl wrote: I'm very happy to contribute to Naoko's blog again.  In order to make it happen, she offered to "collaborate" which I take to mean that I get to write the easy parts and she gets to write the rest. - curl.

Darcy Bussell - brilliant insights
delivered with kindness.

Actually what "collaborate" means is that we are going to be like the judges on the British Strictly Come Dancing show: Darcy Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood. Craig is the one whom the audience start booing as soon as he opens his mouth. Darcy picks up the pieces of the weeping dancers and makes them feel better after Craig has shot them down with a bullet point list of all their faults. curl, naturally, is going to be Darcy while I will play the part of the Bitch of Strictness <snerk>.

curl: I am very excited to introduce you to an exceptional new author on Literotica, Gorza.  I've loved both of his first two stories. Today I want to direct you to Mouse's Maiden Voyage.

Naoko: Yes, yes darling, but his footwork, and that habit of dropping the shoulders. You must keep the topline ... oh sorry, wrong script.

I used to hate exercise

(Another review from Curl4ever. Dang, that boy just keeps coming back for more. Go, Curl, go!)

Second on my list of erotica that I just have to tell the world about is a POEM.  I am not ordinarily a poetry kind of person, but for ten years, this was the ONE AND ONLY poem on my favorites list.  

Gladiator

gladiators, at the British Museum

(This review is by Curl4ever - whose stories are not always safe sex, don't all rush to them at once! LOL. Thank you for this, Curl4ever!.)

When Naoko invited me to contribute a review, I knew my first choice immediately.  It is an extremely well-written, two-chapter historical piece which develops female-female relationships with great skill and sensitivity.  In line with my personal reading preferences, the protagonist is a strong, smart, and capable female warrior.  I think the official title of "Gladiator" might suggest a male-oriented story, but the historical note makes it clear that female gladiators were a part of Roman history.
