So I know I'm updating a ton but what can I say? I'm making up for lost time, and I'm snowed in and bored. Anyway, the point is. Actually there are several points

This is an awesome discussion. There are so many things that I'm into in fic and wouldn't at all be into in RL. Like... totally had the urge to make Annaleigh wet the bed in one of my fics, and it got me all hot and bothered, just the idea of it, but that's something that would turn me way off RL. Maybe it's the fact that on paper there's no mess to clean up, no gross wet feeling on your sheets, no particular smells, know what I mean

=D So the Annaleigh fic, well, it was an urge within a fic I'm already writing... so I might incorporate that in at some point >D I've posted the first part on my community http://community.livejournal.com/wickedly_real if you want to read it.
So, the danger thing, yeah. I think people who aren't experienced in the lifestyle might be freaked out about it, or people who are experienced in the lifestyle in the wrong way. I'm sure there are tops out there that have fucked up with things because they don't care enough to learn the right way to do them. Which is a related but unrelated topic in fiction - people inexperienced in the lifestyle trying to write it and like you said, writing it for the kink/shock value rather than the desire to express a D/s relationship in all its aspects.
Okay, I joined but I have to wait for you or your comod to approve so get on that! :-p
And YES. To your entire second paragraph. Thankfully, I've found that most of my fandoms are pretty good about at least researching and not writing for shock value, even if they don't have the experience. rysler is an excellent example of someone who doesn't have much RL D/s experience but writes it incredibly well anyway, because she's just awesome like that.
I'm glad you're enjoying the discussion haha. It's fun. Also, I know nothing about you, other than that you write good Gelphie D/s fic haha. Tell me moreee. You can also IM me on AIM, if you wish. I'm always up for new friends. :)
I realized it was in your profile after I asked, lol. You appear to be offline, though O.o mine's JaidenTantra. And yay, you're reading it! Hope you like.
