Summary
"A Trash Slash tale... This is satire, pure and simple. Overwrought and overwritten. No epithet or melodramatic speech tag is neglected, no cliché passed by, no exclamation unpunctuated; no noun is shorn of adjectives, no verb unadorned by an adverb or three… (Though we admit we still think that's a damned fine opening line.)" [1]
Reactions and Reviews
2002
A splendidly loopy piss-take of the "Avon needs a Teddy Bear" school of slash fiction. The riotously overwritten sex scenes remind me of London Bates for some reason. Excellent moment when Avon notices Vila's teddy bear tattoo and realises the factual basis of a few drugged hallucinations he once had: "...that was you as WELL??!!'[....] "I dreamed of Anna... Anna with a tattoo!!'" [2]
