Hmm, interesting. As you probably know already, I'm a sucker for CSM/Teena stories, and from what I've read this is generally considered to be the best of the lot. Your criticisms are, of course, perfectly valid ones. I don't know, maybe I'm more of a romantic than I like to admit to!

Anyway, let's choose something for next week that we both can agree on liking. Did you say that you had enjoyed "Oyster"? Or do you have something else in mind?
