haha, anyway i thought i was clear that it wasn't a huge issue, but a simple request. i'm glad we're both amused though.
Lol :3 Sugar is obviously playing games... she wants to get the upper hand... 'Now I know how eddie feels' lol! Are you going to give her what she wants, Ravey? I wouldn't... Maybe you're not me after all!
I think you're too scared to keep her in because it would make you resemble me, in the eyes of this community :3 I like that...
What is the problem sugar? Come and 'dance'.

Or are you 'dancing' on a 'different dance floor' and to 'different music'?
I think that a good story should evoke feelings and reactions in people. It should give one pause to consider things, to ponder...to salivate, perhaps to identify. It should explore and dissect the characters, in a frank, but meaningful way and address the subject in such a way that it is neither glorified, nor vilified, but simply shows different perspectives.
In a place such as SW, such a story is right at home, exploring the darker, bestial side of humans. Every human has the potential and capacity for darkness, whether they choose to embrace it, to shun it and pretend its not there, it exists, and always will. For some it isn't darkness at all, it is their own shining light , part of their being. Even referring to it as "darkness" is subjective , especially here.
To combine society's "sacred" taboos , to offer glimpses inside the heads of those who's tastes in things religious, sexual or deviant, is bound to provoke thought, and call into play, individuals reactions to the literary images it produces, as well as their own moral and ethical positions.
To resist just handing over the candy , to maintain a consistent dark crescendo of tension , is an art.
I think this story is succeeding in doing all this , and more.
