Yes - I would like to see some comments from that perspective, too.


However it seems to me that many of the best BDSM books were written by subs anyway (real or I-wish-I-was or just in fantasy).

AND - at the moment I cannot remember good story/novel dealing with in depth profile of Dom/mme.. (ok, bring on stick and stones ...) O is certanly NOT one of those.

Wish someone would prove me wrong on this.

Did you even remember writing this Pej?

Well - i write A LOT of things.... So....

Mad - you story makes perfect sense (sensible? Well... ) However - you KILLED O! In my book one does not do that to such characters! Why didn't you kill Rene for example: Sir S wants to stick it to him but cannot so - he kills him and Rene is happy to take it? Or, he offers substitute? (They use O as substitute anyway)

Oho! Real strange book! Make you think REAL strange thoughts!

A note on Sir S dumping O - actualy it isn't so rare (in fiction al least). THE TRAINING itsef is main objective - onc its done - new one starsts.
Often the books will use the first trainee as as help in training novices - but the lane line stays...
