Heh - I know *some* of the BDSM activities aren't for everyone. But I have a personal peeve with BDSM stories where very little BDSM sex actually happens. A lot of writers are afraid of going beyond a bit of light bondage and spanking, more's the pity. I always give copious warnings when I'm going hardcore *g* but I like to really go for it. I remember one BDSM fic (in another fandom) I read that felt like a perpetual tease with virtually no action, and I felt as frustrated as Tony!

Interesting re Abby...*g*. And Grasso... Yeah, get the tissues ready!
