I've caught on to this series and just finished reading the last installment... Surprised to see that it was just resently released (the last episode anyway). In the spirit of Seven, I'd like to comment that there is too much sex. You usurp individual imagination by writing with so much description. I don't know about all of you, but individual imagination is what keeps us all from being drones, as it were. But, I have managed to bypass most of this as it is apparent when intimate scenes are nearing. If the use of vulgarity will be included in upcoming episodes, then I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy your gift. I can't see how I can be warned of such in time to avoid it.

For the most part, it is remarkable writing and I've certainly enjoyed it. I'd prefer more conversation, more action adventure and the characters to be thinking out loud, as in converstation. Also, I'd love to see Kelly involved with Samantha Wildman. I never got to see much of Samantha Wildman on the series. Thank you! for a most enjoyable read.

I think it is a matter of different strokes but I think the sex scenes are very hot and well written enough to be worthy of reading. Successful loving couples have passionate, exciting sex, and the JB and Millennium series are about a successful loving couple. Sex is a powerful way to connect and maintain intimacy in a relationship. I have always been impressed with Gina's outstanding ability to write action, humor, romance, character development, and, yes, passion, into this series.

Besides, there are disclaimers on all of these stories. You make a choice to read or not.

Gina, please keep writing the way you do. These stories are great.

Gina writes sex scenes so well. They are not crude or vulgar. I for one appreciate them. And yes, they are hot. As for conversation, she has plenty of that too. Samantha Wildman???. No way. She has never played a big part in Gina's stories. Kelly is straight. Now for Gina's own creation, Lt. T'Shanik, I wouldn't mind seeing her go into Pon Farr and pick a female partner. She is one of my favorite non canon characters and I would like to see more story line involving her.

I have to agree. The sex scenes are well written, but I prefer a "fade to black" approach. You know what's going to happen and you don't need the sticky details. I tend to "skim past" those scenes anyway. But that's my personal preference. I would be perfectly happen for a PG13 version or even a "click the link for the juicy bits" version. But I'll keep reading Gina's wonderful stories as is.

If you want sexless, watch the show. What I love about Gina's work is that she has given these characters complete lives. Job, family & yes sex!

I also like that she does have at least a small representation of straight characters and makes mention of them having relationships as well. (Kelly & M’Reek, Kes & Tom)

I get annoyed when every character in the stories is gay. It's simply not realistic for that to be the case.

The only other one I want to see in a relationship is the good Dr. Pulaski. A straight one of course since she has had 3 husbands.
