re: #83 Justanotherhuman

I remember all the hype and thought, WTF? It was obvious it was being hyped heavily, but for what reason? I read a couple of reviews and the feminist in me revolted against ever laying an eye on it; it seemed to be little more than a Harlequin romance with some kinky male dominance in the guise of a sort of “how-to” manual for submission/humiliation.

It actually started as “Twilight” fanfic, that got such huge response online that the author took it down, changed the character names and reworked it a little. Does that make the character dynamic easier to recognize? It’s basically the same audience too, just a few years older now than they were when they started reading the dreck source material.
