Curious about this for awhile...

It's been said in many places by different people that LKH's portrayal of the BDSM lifestyle is off. I know a bit more than just the basics - ah, the joys of reading - and can sort of inherently pick up that something isn't right with her depiction, but I can't really articulate it. I was just curious to hear from those who participate in the lifestyle, what they personally find offensive, frustrating, or just headdesk-worthy about LKH's portrayal. Perhaps they can help make it clearer to me why it feels amiss.

ah, yes, free time. i too have just been reintroduced to the concept, as of this afternoon.

and possibly... heaven knows i've written better smut than she has. without sues, too.

and if i never read the words "relearn how to breathe" again, it'll be too soon. i HATE that phrase. someone on here said the other day that it's like she just c&p's stuff from one novel to the next, and i agree. especially that phrase.

also, this thread is making me want some smut. i got all excited bc the boy was supposed to be coming home today, and went & got waxed & everything, only to be told "oh yeah, tomorrow."

and now i want some good smut... as in, i'll take the opposite of what that woman's (lkh) peddling.

That is the best analogy ever!
