*sigh* You people! Instead of bitching about how difficult/impossible/corny-carny it would be, you're supposed to take the advice above and check out MINE! Then, you're supposed to come back here and say it was brilliant. Sheesh!

Ok, honest opinion time here. While I found the stories amusing and well written for what they are I have to admit I also found them a bit corny. I understand what you were trying to accomplish with them and I think you succeded admirably. But as a serious sex story I don't think it would work.

As someone else mentioned it plays out all too much like Cyber-sex.

Sorry, just my oppinion, I could be screwed up in the head.

Sorry, just my oppinion,

Hun, don't apologize for your opinion! I appreciate you taking the time to look.

No matter how good it is, an all-dialogue story will never be anything more than a stunt, like those stories that are written without using the letter "e".

It's hard to think of a situation where that would be the best way to tell a story.

It's hard to think of a situation where that would be the best way to tell a story, but not impossible:


Vox*
by Nicholson Baker

(...) A novel that remaps the territory of sex--solitary and telephonic, lyrical and profane, comfortable and dangerous. Written in the form of a phone conversation between two strangers, Vox is an erotic classic that places the author in the first rank of America's major writers.

*look inside the book for a little preview.


It's a very good novel, entirely composed of dialogue, almost without speech tags. I couldn't put it down, had to read it in one sitting.
