this may not be the proper place to bring up this topic but i have been reading the Anita Blake series and have found quite a few references to the lifestyle. In the story i am currently reading, Anita has a young submissive under her care and she is trying to learn about D/s to understand and help him. Although the references are rudimentary at this point, the author seems to have some basic understanding and has not presented the lifestyle in a negative light, as i thought would be the case. i am not saying that novels should be used as a lifestyle primer but it does seem like the books are exposing the mainstream reader to D/s in an open minded manner. these books are a bit graphic, being both violent and sexual in nature but are a great read. (yes, they are about vampires and shapeshifters) i was wondering if A/anyone here has read them and would like to offer an opinion. Also, are there other novels that feature storylines concerning D/s, in a nonjudgemental way?
be safe and well,
