Permit me to add a further comment in a less blunt manner.
Mobius contributes a valued point, demonstrating a sensitivity that can only do this site credit. But censorship may ultimately destroy this site. On a personal note, I agree with much that Mobius says, but any 'distasteful' story can be well written and interesting, even if only from a historical or multi-cultural point of view.
Ok, many 'non-whites' used to be slaves, but I am British and for hundreds of years during ancient times, the Romans enslaved 'white tribes' too. They endured terrible brutality, torture, mass rape and murder, but it won't stop me writing or reading an erotic tale of Roman enslavement. One is reality, the latter is fiction.
Instead of endless soul searching and debate, I recommend BDSM adopt a down-loadable PDF story feed back form, so readers may state if the story they read was -:
Their/not their topic?
Competently/averagely/badly written?
Would/would not like to read more of the same?
Quality rating?
What other subjects would you like to see the writer tackle?
etc, etc.
Such feedback would be invaluable to authors and ensure that readers get exactly what they want to read, and it will encourage, assist and extend an author's contributions.![]()
Alternatively, if you have the time then write to the author directly.
