Re: Wild Alaska - By: Lynda
Lynda, regarding your story, Ill just restate what I posted on my club.
Your story was well-written and engrossing. It had an eerie sense of believability to it. Given its remote setting, and if you set the time frame before the information age and internet - say in the 1950s or 60s - it conceivably could have happened. As a personal preference, I dont like stories where the girl gets mutilated, but if its fair for the boy I suppose its fair for the girl. The story didnt leave me feeling warm and fuzzy - but neither do stories by Alford Hitchcock or Stephen King.
With a little tweaking, a mainstream publication might consider it as a horror story rather than a sexual fetish story. Good writing!

Thanks for the good reviews. I've been getting alot of feedback on Wild Alaska and the other stories.
A couple of thoughts about Wild Alaska. All of the perpetrators were adult and could control what Bertram and Clara did so the whole incident could be kept quiet. Even with the Internet they're isolated. Although there have been Federal intrusions into places like the Branch Davidian compound in Waco and at Ruby Ridge because the authorities felt children were at risk, both of these groups had a political axe to grind and attracted attention by purposely isolating themselves. At Hidden Cove, there is no reason for the authorities to drop by a legitimate business that is successfully run. The kids are still sending in their homework, everything is normal, who is going to check.
Someone asked me if it really happened. Maybe.
Didn't like Clara getting cut? She deserved it, she was the one who killed her father, she thought she would inherit the lodge. Justice works in strange ways. Oh, and Bertram was cheating on his sister with Trudy and Maude, a really bad idea.
Question: How do I get story statistics?

Lynda,
If you submitted the story in the ENHANCED mode, over to the left of the EA homepage, then look down and you should see a link that says VIEW STORY STATISTICS. You scroll down a bit on that page and log in with your name and password and it tells you the stats on every story you've submitted IN ENHANCED SUBMISSION MODE only. Oh, and by the way, it is a GOOD story! Thanks.
