It wasn't much of a surprise anyway, IMO. The avoidance of gender
pronouns and lack of any gender-specific description made it blatantly
obvious that the author was trying to pull a fast one.
Frankly, I have to wonder what the point of stories like this is. It
doesn't seem all that shocking or audacious to me that an author can
depict two more or less randomly-chosen characters having sex. If the
story had done anything to make itself even remotely plausible, then you
might have something.
C'mon, DB, you're a good writer. You don't need to resort to this kind
of thing. ^_^
