In the interest of sharing the porn, Arena loses most of it's gladiator character in this chapter (http://www.livejournal.com/users/brainofck/14152.html) and moves fairly quickly into something resembling Palace territory. :p
Which is why Possession is Arena. In Arena SB eventually lands in sexual bondage, comes to some final realizations about his relationship with Viggo, which is ultimately consummated within the context of his forced servitude.
*waves to snakeboy*
What annoys me is how it kinda sneaks up on me. Throw Away and Double Lotus are not this story though. *clings*
Regarding feedback, or rather the lack of it, I read LOTR_RPS, the yahoo list, 8 to 10 hours a week for a year and never sent a single feedback e-mail. This was before I was writing, and I totally didn't understand the brain chemistry of a writer. I would love stories. Recommend them to friends. Go back and read them over and over. But the idea of sending a stranger an e-mail seemed very rude. Why should I junk up their e-mail box? They don't know me. It would be like spam! *rolls eyes at self* In fact, I finally got an LJ account because I stumbled onto The Orange Grove at Rugbytackle and loved it so much I finally just couldn't stop myself from e-mailing Cinzia.
What I take away from this? If even half the readers out there behave like that, you can safely figure that a lot more people read your story than commented. *shrugs*
Anyway, enough with the self-criticism. So you are one of the fab writers who got SUCKED in by Palace, hmmmm. You know people mutter behind their hands about that phenomenon. :)
