I am trying to investigate "Daddy's" psychology, but it is so difficult -- he still comes over as a very hazy character. Something my editor will certainly pick up on. But your essay is going to be helpful; the points you make about when your teenage fantasies began and the realisation that it was a fetish -- I shall steal those ideas!billierosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288997506566830393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8670812027273632828.post-70699237628763527562013-04-25T03:01:58.736-07:002013-04-25T03:01:58.736-07:00Hi Tilly - thank you for your observation. I'd...Hi Tilly - thank you for your observation. I'd certainly agree that scope exists to portray doms and dommes in a fuller way and to explore their motivation. The 'received wisdom' at the moment seems to be that what the market wants is primarily from the submissive's point of view and/or a female point of view, because the readership for erotica is primarily female. So one area that doesn't get so fully explored is the psychology of male doms. <br />I don't know whether the received wisdom - which I've heard from publishers, other writers, reviewers and journalists - is really correct. It might be received wisdom only because no one's really tested the market for a maledom point of view. At some point I might try it, self-publish and see if I can make it work. I have a few other projects on the go at the moment, though... But it would be interesting to see you (and indeed billierosie) tackle this area as well...Fulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959628434559905605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8670812027273632828.post-81084349800765788552013-04-23T12:21:47.973-07:002013-04-23T12:21:47.973-07:00As a writer, I find it harder to write from the do...As a writer, I find it harder to write from the dominant's point of view precisely because of what you describe - the dominance being in response to the submissive's needs. I definitely think there's scope for more exploration in fiction of what makes someone dominant in essence without it always being as a foil to the sub and without them having to be the popularly portrayed asshole.
