Wild Reality is presently hosting NICCO
(http://nicco.wild-reality.net), which has several small nods to
LOLITA, not least in its eponymous hero's surname (differently spelled),
and at one point that famous opening line is directly paraphrased. The
narrator, however, is gay, and his name - Gus Ashbrook - is a clear
reference to that other famous tale of obsession, DEATH IN VENICE.

Nicco is not underage, but Gus seems almost to consider that he is at
times. Fairly sexually explicit.
