Recs, The Nature Of BDSM, D/s, and Other Things

[bradygirl_12]

Hmm, I thought I'd do a rec of comms that might fit some people's tastes: slavefics, dsfics, and bdsm_fandom. The latter two involve consensual dominance and submission. All are multi-fandom comms and the first two also allow original fic.

I have actually been playing a little with some of these themes in some of my fic, which admittedly have nothing to do with comic fandoms.. but the point is... it's something that i have recently been playing with. (In Remember WENN fandom, if you want to know what universe I'm swimming in. LOL)

The character I am using as a sub (and sometimes Dom, when her mood strikes) is the last one people would expect to be a sub. But with her ego and her strength, I can see her being a sub to in a sense keep her grounded. I've been reading up a lot on the BDSM lifestyle as its new to me, but its been interesting to find out about.

Hi, Bizarra! :)

I've never seen the show but know it's set in the past (1940s?) and must have wonderful period detail. :)

Isn't the lifestyle fascinating? The psychological goings-on never fail to intrigue me.

RW was set 1939-1941. AMC cancalled the show just as FDR declared war. Pardon misspellings on Cell. Keyboard. Anyway in my reading BDSM as we know it today didn't come to being until after the war, however it clearly existed, but likely the terminology was different. May have been more known as S&M. More early knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps at Mediawest I shall introduce you to my little show.:-)

That would be a fascinating research topic: BDSM before the War! :)

LOL! You'd love Public Enemies! ;)

I think Clark can be a sub by choice, not because that's his natural tendency. He's too smart to not realize he has to keep his incredibly powers under control. But I don't like it when he's written like he likes being all meek and submissive and doesn't mind to be treaded upon and insulted and humiliated. Clark has a strong will and a deep sense of dignity. He's humble but not weak. At all!

I can live with that. I think Clark is brilliant and would understand the nuances even better than Bruce.

Subs are strong people. They ultimately hold the power and it's their giving over control that makes them the strongest.
