					eight ball, corner pocket by Llachlan http://www.merwolf.com/llachlan/Eightball.html SYNOPSIS: A reporter gets more than she bargained for when she walks into a dyke bar. Luckily she's saved by a heroic babe with an eye for a beautiful damsel in distress. Pool cues at forty paces, girls! NANCY: The dialogue is reaching, trying a little too hard to approximate the worst of bar dykedom, but the pool game is actually quite fun to read. Ruined only by the good old "oh-my-god-I've-never-seen-a-woman-this-beautiful- I-must-take-her-home-and-have-incredible-sex-with-her-for-the-rest-of-my-life" syndrome. She deserves praise for being one of the few new writers I've seen for a while who have bothered to spellcheck their stories before posting. Ewok? EWOK: I rather enjoyed the dialogue overall, but there's really no excuse for the "tales"/"tails" pun. NANCY: Favourite line in this story: Siona looked from woman to woman, watching how intently each was focused on the other. A pool game, I'm the marker in a pool game, she was incredulous, and we say men suffer from too much testosterone, there's enough in this room to impregnate a village full of Amazons. Goes on to refer to the bar chicks as hero worshipping neophytes. Imaginative, tongue in cheek references to the show. I approve. NANCY: 7 out of 10, mainly because someone finally got me to enjoy heavy handed references to the original Xena series in an uber story. EWOK: 6 out of 10. I still haven't recovered from our last round of pool, Nancy. NANCY: Stick to video games, Ewok.
