Interesting.
I had an interesting comment on my story today. A reader mentioned that she didn't like it because there was no safe word and Sherlock left John tied up in the bedroom while dealing with John's girlfriend. Now if I had removed those things, I wouldn't have had a story.... LOL!
All completely valid points in real life, but my goodness, how is this considered realistic? I think the fact that Sherlock basically tied him up against his will and totally dub-con's him makes this a bit on the "not realistic" side. I'm totally for realistic portrayal of BDSM in fiction, but I never list my stories under that tag for exactly that reason. Bondage yes, BDSM, no... My goodness, i had to laugh as the next fic has Sherlock tying John up and locking him in the trunk of a car... after being attacked by skinheads. Oh dear Lord... Fantasy people! Fantasy!!
