They never bore me and I am never sure what you will come up with! Love it! CBWR left me laughing, even with the subject matter! I do have to say, I enjoy some of the stories with just plain dating, marriage and babies! I read a little of everything! Rigt now I am reading Revelry, what angst and heartbreak in that one...

Thank you from the bottom of cold, black heart. <br><br>As the co-author of another story that could easily have been mentioned in that post yesterday, I applaud your response and shout, "Hear, hear!"<br><br>Without conflict there is no story. And some of us choose to provide conflict through the personalities and behavior of the main characters rather than external forces. This is what interests me; though I'm not trained in psychology, I am fascinated by the way people think and behave, and how their past affects their present and future.<br><br>I, too, enjoy receiving reviews (as long as they're polite), but they're not my goal, my reason for writing. I write to explore my own psyche and the myriad possibilities that human behavior provides. If I were never to receive another review, I would still write. Most of the things I've written will never see the light of day - not because I think they're not worth it, but because they're too personal.<br><br>I could go on, but I imagine I'm just the choir preaching to the minister, lol.

I do NOT think that Hide & Drink (or anything you've written for that matter) should be included in what she wrote. I read her blog and I kind of agree with the overall message that she had. There are some stories out there that have these dark themes, but have a somewhat "rainbows and unicorns" type love story. I don't buy it. They just don't make sense. People just don't suddenly fall inlove with their rapist. <br><br>I've only read two of the stories that she mentions and one of them was yours. The other completely fell under what she was saying. At the end of it I was left saying to myself "wait. now they just live happily ever after? That just ain't right!" <br><br>Anyway, like I said, I agree with her overall message. There does seem to be a theme in some fics that makes it sexy or awesome to be raped/enslaved/beaten/whatever. Like somehow these things are okay. I was raped, and let me tell you... it's not sexy, awesome, or okay.<br><br>I'll say this again... I don't think your stories fall under this at all. I never thought that any of them made it okay to be doing whatever it was they were doing. I really enjoy your stories. You have them doing these not so great things, but you have the thoughts behind the actions. You include the 'why.' The behave this way for a reason and you include that. There is so much behind what is actually going on and that is what I truly enjoy. Anyway, I'm rambling and with my lack of sleep last night I don't think I'm being as articulate as I need to be. I'll just stop now.Slowly_Burnsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788274610340361132.post-34731351817059124742011-07-09T23:07:37.723-04:002011-07-09T23:07:37.723-04:00Why do you have the need to imply that those of us...Why do you have the need to imply that those of us who don`t like rape fics don`t like it because we can`t handle sex in fics?

A comment on the comment, so to speak. <br><br>And if you`re not implying what kind of fics we (as in people who don`t care much for abuse fics) enjoy - then why mention what Mr. Savage likes?

See? I just...Beta here, let the flogging commence. See? I just wrote about a touchy subject which some may have issue with, but I'm not really about to reach through the interwebz with my non-existant whips and chains to have at a willing-Savage only for her to thank me after. But if we did? To each their own.<br><br>My biggest issue here is the attacks without the research; in order to post a convincing argument about a particular brand of heroin, er, fanfic, you should know something about that which you speak. Yes, I'm certain there are taboo subjects written about out there that are sensationalized. I'd have to say, Savage's fics are not among those, unfortunately. You see, I adore Edward like no other, and of course, Edward and Bella forever! So when victim Bella doesn't fall for my beloved right away, I'm like, wtf?<br><br>But, unlike the accusers who DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK!, Savage writes about what is real *sigh*. Her characters are complex, not flat. They have issues that need to be worked through, and that is a long process. Do they end up together at the end, even after what Edward has done? Damn right! Otherwise I sure as hell wouldn't be reading. Did I mention I read fanfic because I'm all about the lurv between Edward and Bella?<br><br>But I'm also cautious, because, as much as she knows I would hate her and more than likely abandon her ass for good, Savage has warned me time and again that she's not in it for the happily ever after. If that's not the way it works out, then that's not the way it works out. If Edward can't get his shit together, work through his issues, then maybe, just maybe, it won't end the way I'd like it to.<br><br>I'm sure there are exploiting stories out there, but to cite one that you obviously haven't read through is just ignorant on the behalf of the author and those who blindly agree (no, I'm not calling anyone names; ignorant = lacking education or knowledge).<br><br>And I'm totally guessing the blogger or supporters of the article don't frequent literotica.com's reluctance section? My bad. Last I checked, as another commenter noted, fantasizing about the taboo is more common than not. Those that have those fantasies are not considered mentally ill, nor do they wish for them to be carried out. But the fantasy exists, and for those with poor imaginations, someone has to write about it (without being attacked for sensationalizing it, as no psychologist would suggest is occurring). But alas, that is smut, which Savage's fics are not solely. Bummer. <br>Oh wait, I forget, I'm one of those that skips the smut ;)DKMulderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13798001930344499442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788274610340361132.post-17293893820753119322011-07-09T23:07:36.266-04:002011-07-09T23:07:36.266-04:00Love your writing, love your stories - even when t...Love your writing, love your stories - even when they give me heart fail!

Say or write anything interesting ? Pee on your shoes ? Easier than create something original is to critisize and negate. Why do you even care ? Nobody can cater for every taste anyway, it's all natural that we, the readers, like this writer's stories and detest the other's. But still we have free will to choose, don't we. If somebody doesn't like your stories and still sticks to reading them ... well, suits herself. Reading not only your stories but none less interesting posts, imagining you as a RL person a bit - I am very surprised that it bothers you, don't pay attention and don't let them get to you. A mature person knows what she is worth, regardless what the others express and you are a grown ass woman yourself :))))<br />I think you should write as long as it is what you like doing. I have always thought you are professionally familiar with psychology and during reading CBWR? I got the feeling you know prisoners well. Well, every compliment has been said on the style, choice of topics, very original plots and more in your writing but there is more I like. That is a rare gift to find and describe characters completely real - I can see real life full blood people in your stories, that is rare an great. And last but definitely least your superb sense of humour (e.g. vision of Alice poking angrilly her screen like another slightly bigger Angry Bird is burnt in my brain for forever, thank you). <br />The measure of my devotion to your writing is the fact that I am a terrible softie by nature almost never reading angst as it is too painfull an experience.... your stories scare the sh*** out of me and I am delighted too bravely read them at the same time. <br />Like now, UC is sinking into angst right now and I am trembling waiting for the same in Offside any moment soon but I won't give up ... oh, nonono.<br />Savage - write - for your entertainment and for mine, ours please. <br />And have nice holidays far away from this small stuffy internet world :Dmargothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682792361971676420noreply@blogger.com
