But what constitutes going too far? My 'A Tape' series (the final part (4) of which should be getting posted any day now) is pretty evil in terms of what the mother and daughter have to go through. And then there's things like my "Sister of Two" story in my Bad End series, where part of the emotional hook is that she's fighting for money to help her younger siblings but fails. So, not only do my stories focus on the emotions of the slave themselves, but also in their family members dealing with the loss. Does anyone think that bringing up the loss a parent's pain about the loss of their daughter into slavery is going too far? Or, is it just senseless depictions of violence that upset you?
Please, I'm very curious in understanding where people draw the line, and what people like about stories that focus on emotional trauma and completely hopeless endings.
(And, it isn't just bad endings for women that I'm interested in. I have some subby tendencies in me, as well, that I might be exploring in some future stories.)
