So I was asked what prompted my BDSM rant.  And I was vague in my answer because honestly, I'm not out to flame anyone.  Or shame them.  But I think I will give the specifics now because I posted my comment (after having two people look it over and help me NOT sound like a bitch) and I got a rather disappointing PM back ( Read more... )

Okay maybe in the future I'll write a full Writer's Tip for this subject but right now I just have to get this off my chest ( Read more... )
