Well there it is! Kids, take heed, playing Sardines can get you into serious trouble. Especially if your girlfriend's Daddy is a juicy hunk of a man, a widower, and if he is loving Chrissie, and her girlfriend, Mel, yes, you!
And then the penny drops, and both girls keep his bed warm, and in no time at all things get very serious... but why spoil a good love story.
Enjoy.

I have no idea what the ratio of male to female readers is at storiesonline, but I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that it's heavily weighted to the side of testosterone. The same ratio likely applies to the authors.
So I find myself sometimes wondering, "Is a man capable of writing authentic female first-person?" And the problem with that question is that, as a male myself, I can't answer it. Oddly enough, I tend to wonder about such things after reading what I perceive to be a successful attempt at doing just that.
And that's good news in regard to Lubrican's "Sardines," the story of a girl named Mal and her relationship with her best friend and her best friend's father.
I don't know if Mal's thought processes would ring true to a female reader; you could ask your wife or girl friend for her opinion. What I do know is that this is yet another outstanding effort from one of storiesonline's finest, a sweet, romantic, sexy tale that embraces -- rather than glosses over -- what most people would see as a problematic relationship.
The male protagonist is named Bob, but he's not quite an "Uncle Bob," the well-meaning but easily-seduced hero of so many of Lubrican's early stroke pieces. He's a little more nuanced, a little more grounded in reality, a little more determined to do the right thing. But that doesn't make him any less susceptible to Mal's charms . . . or those of his daughter Chrissy. Beginning with the first incidents of crossing a line with Mal, during the titular game of hide-and-seek, the relationship between the two plays out over time, with all the bumps in the road needed to tether the story to the real world and all the inconveniences that life tends to throw in the way.
The story is certainly more romance than erotica, yet Lubrican has a way of bringing a sexual heat to a scene more effectively than a lot of authors who are specifically writing about sex.
When all is said and done, "Sardines" is simply a fun and sexy story with a lot of heart. And that kind of makes any question of gender representation irrelevant.
