I agree somewhat with Clevernick in that I don't want the victim to be both purely innocent and completely brutalized, but I think I would allow more leeway. There's a careful balancing act for me, because I enjoy scenes that are non-consensual, just not sadistically so.

I think the key is that at some point, there has to be a relationship between the dom/me and sub, even the sub is treated harshly and would rather leave. I've written stories where the bondage is non-consensual but the dom/me is somewhat caring and the sub tries to make the best of their situation; that allows for them to communicate and develop a repoire with one another. That's just my preference.

For some reason, stories on the 2nd person seempretentious to me and turn me off more often than not. Maybe just because it's hard to do effectively. You never know who exactly your reader wants to identify with.

I also like reading about scenes that are just a bit fantastic--things that would probably never happen in real life. A good story that makes me think, "Oh, I hadn't thought of *that* before..."
