I take this to mean you are the author of the fic about the bondage?
My comments aren't about your fic other than to share a comment with the LJ owner that I had read the rec and found it to be something that was a basically good story but had things I found disappointing. I was responding to the topic of the rec and was sharing my comments with her about something she had started a topic about. I felt that I was explaining why I had an issue and what bothers me in fanfic in general but that I just wanted to clarify that I liked the story concept (I have one written that is very similar to it in concept which is currently over 120 pages long and still going) but just had issues with things that I feel makes any story in general lose impact. You are a creative writer, you took the idea in a direction that is interesting to me and different than my own approach to this subject in fanfic. I really liked what you were conveying.
All of my comments have been about the topic of writing fanfic in general, not about your story in specific (though maybe in hindsight they didn't really appear that way). I avoided using any content from your story as examples because of this.
I would be glad to do an email exchange with you and go over the things in the story I had issues with if you are interested.
I can with your permission copy the story off of your LJ and then go over it and email the things to you rather than go piecemeal throught it. That way we can discuss comments that are specifically about your story with each other.
