I have been writing for a while. I have only just begun writing erotic BDSM. I've written a lot but it's a new genre for me and I'm not sure which techniques work in it and which work against it. So, I've been writing mindlessly, just to have some clay to work with.

I submitted a couple of these stories, drafted once to take out stuff that is unarguably bad writing regardless of genre.

One thing I realized in drafting one of the stories was that my main character was a Mary Sue. My writing is total wish fulfillment so I had no call to be so annoyed with myself for writing a Mary Sue but I was. I didn't want to rewrite the whole charcter so I made it a plot point. This ended up being a pretty interesting eventuality but that is besides the point, really.

Here are some questions you might enjoy answering and discussing. I'd certainly love to hear your thoughts.:

Do you guys notice a lot of Mary Sues in this genre? Does it bother you as much as in other types of fiction? Or do you think it works in this particular genre? What do you think constitutes a bdsm Mary Sue?
