If I were a writer, and I had deep down proclivities I was afraid and ashamed of, I don't know that I would choose to work through these issues in front of a "viewing" public of several million internationally, complete with my close-up glamour shots, real name, and a daily blog. (Although exhibitionism might very well be part of the fantasy.)
(I'm starting to feel guilty analyzing this woman I don't know. ^___^ And yet I can't stop...)
I have a couple of semi-serious problems with Jacqueline Carey's writing, but the morality of it is never one of those problems. It's POV, or character, or that kind of writerly stuff which is only my opinion and can easily be argued for or against. But her stuff is never exploitative or disturbing to me, even though she gets into some pretty "dark" sexual territory.
Plus she doesn't spend nearly so much time stoking the cult of her own personality with blogs and black dresses and online histrionics (that I know of), which is probably a major part of it.
And I'm totally rambling now when I should be working...*relurks*
