Readers and comments.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my readers. They are half the reason I write. I also love to receive their comments (yes even the snide depreciating sneers of the anonymous), that a story I have written affects a reader to such a degree that he or she takes their valuable time to write and post a comment means the world to me.
Here it comes. Get ready for it.
But.
They drive me crazy. I have been bitched at because my characters do things that in the real world would have consequences (STD’s, scars, etc). I have been accused of being a horrible husband/father/person, or hating women/women bosses/gays/kids and for all I know puppies and kittens
Some examples:
{“Continue writing for your own pleasure, because reading the comments, you don't seem to give much pleasure to anyone else.”}
This was a story about an encounter in an adult movie house and a group orgy scene. Not many public comments but the most e-mail I have ever gotten on a story, mostly from women saying they had done something like that or that they wished they (and their husbands / boyfriends) had the guts to do it.
{“ To Dom I read your bio and unless that is a work of fiction you do like this sort of thing. As I said each to their own. Personally I would not write about this sort of thing mainly because I don't beleive in doing things like this, even as a fiction based fantasy. On last point the common wisdom about writing is that we all put something of ourselves in the stories we write. I know I do as people who know me can verify. I would say that you Dom put a part of you in your stories.”}
Of course I do. Much of my writing is based on 35+ years in the bdsm community. However while I occasionally inject where appropriate, comments on safe sane and consensual bondage this is the world of fantasy where the actors never get STD’s or pregnant or have to use rubbers or get arrested doing things that simply couldn’t happen outside a TV show or a work of fiction.
{“Get a divorce and seek medical help. Exposing someone to the possibility of STD's should be a criminal act. After all the men have no clue just what type of tramp your wife is. God and her doctor only know what she is carrying. Aside from that this was "really erotic" NOT!!!! “}
This one my REAL world wife responded too:
This is Domwoolf's wife. He keeps telling you that this is a work of FICTION and obviously you are not listening. <snap> <crack> All his work that he is writing is "FICTION", I love this man very much and he would never do anything like that to me for the most part. He loves to tie me up and use the whip on me (mmmmm I love that part), he also uses canes, but he never puts cigs out on me or hang me upside down, no bugs or spiders. Nothing that would harm me or if I don't want it. Always safe, sane & consensual. I only have him, no one else, and the same for him. He keeps me safe and loves me. Rest assured we are truly happy after 25 years of being together. Ladylion23
{“I'm not quite sure what I expected but this wasn't it. I get that Carol is your pet, I get that you want her to do these things. What I don't get is that she loves you for it, apparently. But then I don't really understand BDSM so if you both enjoy this sort of thing then have at it.”}
Again Carol and Rick and Donna and Heather and the rest of my cast of characters exist only in the electronic media of the written word.

{“sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick what kind of person would do that !??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”}
{“I thought I'd seen the worst in abuse after the donkey show in Havana in l955, and the two dog shows I witnessed in Asia. BUT, you, my sick friend, are the first human to make me sick to my stomach! My only wish would be to have you at my disposal for a couple of months, so as to be able to introduce you to JUST the pain you describe, inflicting. You should be ashamed to call yourself a human being, I know I'm ashamed of you!”}
{“I can tell you are a cruel man. I cannot tell you if I would read another installment of this story or not.”}
Granted that some of my stories get warning labels even on the supposedly hard core sex and sadism sites, I still get amazed at the visceral responses I get.
I suppose I shall have to include a disclaimer on my works from now on.
Disclaimer:
What I write is fiction/fantasy/fairy tales for adults. None of my characters are real, no one was injured during the production of my stories and just like on T.V., they all get up when the scene is over, have a beer, remove the makeup and go home, ready to return in the next chapter, all the boo boos healed.
Finally some comments in the (Some folks just don’t get it department).
{“When you switched from the vampire to the victim, it gave a bit of a mental whiplash, as you didn't bother to tell us you were changing point of reference.”}
Which was the point I was trying and I guess failing to make that vamp and victim share a lot of the same thoughts and world views.
