        A remarquable style. Subject might hurt some, but none can critizise the style. (8/10)

        - Thank you, 2licks! Whoever said erotica / porn should be comfortable -giggles- ! Seriously, I tried to portray Mary-Beth as someone who wants to be made a slave out of and finds a willing set of accomplices in the Black family she is drawn to (they want to have a slave as badly as she wants to become one); too bad she had to draw her daughter into it, for which she suffers of course. I'm really tempted by LaToya's suggestion of writing a companion piece from Laura's point of view - perhaps a transcribed tape that comes to light? But at present I'm still seeing everything from Mary-Beth's point of view...  not too sure that woman has too many smarts, but she feels deeply. Which is the fate of many of us, I fear.

        This was a very well writen story. While the story followed the life of the mother, I hope other parts will show the life of the daughter (8/10)

        I found this story to be very good (although for the record specifying the age of the little girl might have been helpful in visualising her).  Very good, though very sad.  I was like on the verge of tears at the turning point of the story.  Me:No!  That's not cool!  She's suffered enough! (8/10)

        - Dear Master RJ. May I have many readers like you! I didn't know the codes for the bdsm library so I kept it vague. But you can work out her age from the other dates in the story: she is 12 at the start. Mary Beth makes herself younger at the end - who wouldn't?

        - I'm glad my review went appreciated.  o.o  Actually that's a lot older than I thought she'd be...she sounded like...9 or 10.  Thanks for clearing that up!  Yes 12 would be Young in the story codes.  I look forward to reading your future stories.

        i think your writing skills are good and i liked the end of the story.  i am just worry about stories (and not just those sexual in nature) that show blacks are more violent than whites.   (7/10)

        - ... yet people don't jump up and down about how white people are portrayed as being violent in many of the other stories on this site. It works both ways.

        - Dear bisarah: I wanted very much to be able to portray both the black and white people as humans in a position of temptation. At the end Mary-Beth says as much. This is a sensitive topic, agreed.
