I love to read both and I think the scenes I've written have been mostly light. Sometimes you want to stretch your own boundaries as a writer and write the darker, edgier stuff. :)Kathy Kulighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061095905421177808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-53150506753543618192010-10-30T11:06:19.992-04:002010-10-30T11:06:19.992-04:00I love to read both, but when I write it's oft...I love to read both, but when I write it's often light, fun, kinky spanking/bondage stuff, not a hardcore Master/slave lifestyle. But if it's BDSM, I'll read it!

Sometimes light and sometimes deep. All depends on the mood. <br /><br />Recently I turned one in that was a lot more intense and my editor told me that the edgier book really fit my voice. I'm not sure why, but that surprised me.Eliza Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759056080459056913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-14623970238995297672010-10-29T17:14:45.228-04:002010-10-29T17:14:45.228-04:00Arwen - great points.

It makes me stop and think about where I want to go as a writer.<br /><br />Kataline - You're right. When writing BDSM erotic romance the love, respect and trust are mandatory whether you write dark stories or light ones. Sometimes light is just fun. Great thoughts.

I write BDSM but I believe that with the writing, as with real life, love, respect and good intentions must be present for the harder stuff to work. <br />The light stuff is fun because its mostly about playfulness, stimulation and dropping inhibitions, with no need to go to a deeper, darker place.<br />XXOO KatKatalina Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792533045672712045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-42064598731388309672010-10-29T13:47:02.240-04:002010-10-29T13:47:02.240-04:00I say write what you love, Francesca.

For me, as a writer, I find my voice isn't always in harmony with what I like to read. :) I may read super heavy, dark (think Stacia Kane's Unholy Magic books) but that's not my style of writing at all.
