All Comments on 'Best Friends'

i am not a lazbian but this story was ok

Areala, I love your sense of humor and your style. This was sexy as well as sweet and poignant. I can't wait to read your other stories! :)

This is one of the first pieces of erotic fiction I ever wrote, and I think it shows. With all of my stories, I try to have more than just the sex, and while I don't think I succeeded as well as I could have with this one, I still think the premise was a good one even if the execution leaves something to be desired.

In the end, it's got a four-star average, and that's right about where it belongs, so I can't complain. :)

That because both of these friends happen to be women that they cannot openly and fully be happy because society disapproves of it. why?

While you say "and it shows," regarding the quality of this story, I fell for your composition! I appreciated the outright lust tapering off into longing and self-loathing. It felt right. The emotions hit peaks, and they hit valleys, and it was really poignant at the end in a way I found sad, but satisfying! If you'll forgive the (possibly lame) comparison, it was kinda like a Romy & Michelle's if they actually were gay

(and I kinda always wanted them to be actually gay)

I know this story is basically ancient by internet standards, which only leads me to wonder how much you've improved! :D

Areala-chan, I can see why you like this little story so much. It's a perfect little diamond; tasteful, poignant, its heart on its sleeve. Lovely.

Thank you all for for commenting. As I mentioned in the forum thread, this one's my favorite simply because it's a reflection of where I was with my own sexuality at the time when I wrote this. The overwhelmingly playful fun of exploring things and realizing how much fun sex could be with other women, tempered by a culture and, at the time, religion which ignored at best or condemned at worst the very core of who I am as a person.

My, how times change... :D

I just found you and read all. Your first is your best. Having just found you in 2019 years late I will miss you and dream of you and hope for a return.

Damn. That was heartbreaking. 💔

Here’s hoping they don’t spend many more years hiding from themselves.

just as xacto said , heartbreaking.

But reading Areals-chan response from 4 years ago I just hope it is getting better for anyone in such situation so at least society is getting less constricting.

Yes, but...

Were they lying to each other? Or pretending together?

Seems like the latter to me...

Empathetically achingly depressive. Reality bites.
