This is problematic - although Dejanews should theoretically preserve all posts from this period (July-December 1995), its records are very patchy until 1996. Therefore, all but a few of these links are to reposts from subsequent years, the originals having been lost. Since the first posting of this list, a number of people have come forward and either posted or sent "lost" stories to me. I would like to express my gratitude to all of them, especially Ruthiebaby, Axis Q. and Neverless. As a result of these efforts, there are now only two stories still lost (down from an original total of over 20). As a new feature of this list, the Appendix provides the Celestial Reviews of these missing stories, in the hope that someone may recognise them. A number of additional corrections to title and authorship have also been made since the previous edition. - Apuleius The following list is based on: http://www.qz.to/erotica/review/celes95t.txt. The small number of additions and corrections are indicated with square brackets. CELESTIAL LIST OF THE TOP 100 STORIES OF 1995 1.

"Top Ten Lies in Usenet Pornography" by Derek Zumsteg http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=389680077 Appendix: Lost Stories Reviews by Celeste (Celeste801@aol.com) "Tales of the Seeding" by Wollstonecraft. This is a set of narratives from the different perspectives of people who are extremely unsophisticated in their sexual knowledge. We could be dealing with cave dwellers, with people on a remote island not yet conquered by "civilized people," or with aliens whose sexual accouterments resemble those of humans. What is fascinating is that the descriptions all refer to sex (sometimes in very graphic terms) without ever using either the formal (intercourse, vagina, etc.) or informal (fuck, cunt, etc.) terminology that we normally encounter in such stories. The author does an amazing job - I caught only one mistake, where the author used the word "come" to describe an orgasm. In addition to playing with words, the author does an excellent job of building anticipation and creating a mood of mystery. I loved it. This is a really creative, ingenious story. (Rating: 10) "Sooo Sweet" by Vickie Tern. This is a story of an extremely unusual little lady married to an equally unusual little man who is telling a really unusual story as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The story is narrated by a beautician to her customers, and her babbling monologue helps maintain a fascinating mood for the story." The surprises and sudden turns in the plot are what make this a good story. My own reaction was predominantly one of humor. "OK... I guess that could work...." I really can't tell you much about the actual story, because advance knowledge of the plot would ruin it for you. This is a TG (Transgender) story; and so people not at all interested in that genre may not want to read this rather lengthy story. However, I myself normally do not tune in to TG stories. I read this one only because the author sent me an advance copy; but I found this story to be quite interesting. The TG lifestyle is definitely not for me or my husband; but this story was still fun for me to read. Here's a technical note. This story (like many other good stories) depends on logical sequencing of ideas and appropriate formatting of text. If your service is like mine, in many cases when you download a document from a.s.s., you get a manuscript on your screen with a ragged appearance. The tab stops are gone, there are paragraph markers at the end of each line, and lines sometimes seem to end in the middle of the page for no good reason. Although it is still possible to read the text under these circumstances, it is often distracting to do so and difficult to pick up the logic of the text. The easiest way to solve this problem is to transfer the story to your word processor and change the document margins. If necessary, you can also change the font style and/or size. By doing this, you can get the document to look pretty much like the author thought it would look; and this often makes it easier to understand and enjoy the story.
