dare i even chime in? i think i still may be trying to pinpoint exactly what my kinks are. i know the bdsm stuff definitely appeals more to me than fluffy happy la-la-la sex.
i gravitate to the stuff wherein my favorite character is forced to submit to someone else but yeah, i don't like for them to be completely broken. i like the characters for who they are. i like to think about how they'd react under extreme circumstances. if spike is subjugated and broken to the point where he is no longer spike at all, then it loses its appeal. i will, however, read the breaking down parts, where he's still in there. i can't just jump into a fic where suddenly spike is this puppydog with no will of his own. i have to know the process by which such a thing happened, and if it's realistic, then i can enjoy it. if i can't buy the reasoning for spike being so submissive, i can't buy him as submissive in that particular scenario. i don't really care much for stories wherein spike is willingly completely submissive. i agree, it seems out of character for him to just give in entirely. on some small level, he would rebel (imo).
as some may have guessed, i am not easily squicked. i like spike, and i really like suffering spike. i can understand how physical or psychological torture can bother some people and i have no idea why i like it so much. i can only say that i have always been that way. and it's nice to find out that there are others who share this particular kink.
and it's important to note that this isn't the only kind of fic i'll read. if i were to limit myself to reading only one type of fic, wow... i'd sure be missing out on a lot.
also... boys in eyeliner {drools}. i just need to find some good fics where punk!spike is enslaved and/or tortured horribly. is that so wrooong?
