i'm still learning how to show the characters' depths instead of just the umm 'action' but i worry about the balance - too much of one or the other is going to polarise readers (and yes, i DO read soem romantic fiction and i hope this isn't going to be put down to my sex lolol) - i wish there was more stuff written from the slave/submissive perspective where we actually have soemthing to say instead of being just another 'fuck-toy', a passive victim, or merely for 'decoration'. but you made an excellent point about characterization and you've given me soemthing to think about in my own feeble efforts...

this is one of the truly wonderful things about the Library - the chance to read, to learn and share ideas -
