I believe it was some early 80's cartoon that started me thinking. Some gruesome fat blob had tricked the damsel, so lewdly dressed, into drinking a love potion, instead of her nightly tea I believe it was. She was under the influence and actually married him I believe. In anycase as the story goes, the gruesome beast lived I think under some kind of watery pool. She had to get in about halfway to have the marriage ceremony. Okay just a moot point about this, Eighties cartoons were something special, and terribly missed. I took that and ran with the idea, but the pool was now an acidic bath, and the damsel had to suffer as she wed the monster. From there it progressed and festered. I realy didn't get into BDSM writings until just about three years ago, mostly it was just my very active imagination.
