All Comments on 'The Ravishment of Young Judy'

The dialog was solid and the descriptive details made it very interesting. Didn't check for spelling or grammar. The wry narration to setup and conclude the story and was humorous and effective. But, I did not find the encounter at the heart of the story all that compelling. Neither the protagonist or the sub seems to have experienced any interesting or significant change.

If anybody really is following this!

Probably it's true that not much significant changed for the protagonists in this one encounter. These 1970s college stories were intended to be part of a larger work (maybe a novel) which I may eventually try to pull together. Anyway, I've realized this much about the characters:

1. Being (relatively) modern college students, they're a bit feckless and maybe even crass. The role playing games are a way for them to provide interest to otherwise tentative young relationships.

2. The other girl (Michelle) and Judy will both break up with the narrator within two months of this. They claim to want more "mature, exclusive" relationships.
