Jun. 8th, 2015 09:25 pmOh. Finally figured out why Natural Law didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped.
Most of it's from the man's pov. I know this sounds weird, because I'm currently writing a male sub (and I write it a lot, let's be honest) but it's a femdom novel which doesn't spend much time in the woman's head. And I know that part of the problem was that her backstory was supposed to be a surprise, and all the Dommes at the club were suspects until her backstory eliminated her and therefore we couldn't spend too much time in her head. But that still leaves you with a femdom story in which all the women are unreadable mysteries and the story isn't about them, it's about the man.
This came up because of this article and my slight irritation when anyone assumes what personal angle I'm approaching writing a story from
