Reactions and Reviews

This seems to me a very fresh perspective. I really like the use of first person narrative to describe a situation hateful to the narrator but which with the reader is sympathetic. It gives us a feeling of being smarter than the guy telling us the story. It's easy to read, too; a flow very much like real stream-of-consciousness, but focused enough to be easy to follow. So is this slash? Seems like anyone, slash-friendly or homophobic, could like this story. I know I did, and I'm neither of the above. [1]

I thought I'd never be able to read slash, but when I read my pal Jen Stoy's "Choirgirl Series", well, I began to understand, and dig slash.[2]

Teetering on the edge of consent, or maybe as close to consent as some of these guys can get XF: Afterwards, Mulder thinks, "My earlobe tingles still, and my mind is full of images. Alex and Scully, do I have taste or what? Beautiful demon lovers who want to use me and whom I want to use." The story is Exit 75, the (important) prequel is She’s Your Cocaine, and here’s the rest of the (fascinating and strange) series.[3]
