Oh that's awful. I hope the Nation stood by him. On the flip side, now he's "out" and might attract Doms. Or, you know, friends.

Yes, I've heard that too. It makes sense. To be a sub is basically to be the center of attention and you don't have to be in charges of scenes.

What liberal!Stephen fic? Spill! I have to be honest with you, I don't really see liberal!Stephen as that appealing a Dom. :-(

He's not safe and comforting, he's insecure, he's flaky and not very authorative. Plus he has troubles with commitment.

Speaking of BDSM, I wish Sara would write more D/s-verse. (It's so good!) And I wish that you'd write more of that D/s-verse fanfic of yours.
