Inside you’ll find a varied selection of stories that focus on M/M relationships the main slant of which is on consensual discipline between loving partners. It’s quite difficult to classify or define this kind of fiction, as far as I can tell it goes under a myriad of different terms according to the personal views and tastes of whoever is writing it: original character slash, SM, domestic discipline, discipline partnership fiction, romantic spanky fic, hurt/comfort fiction etc. To be honest I don’t really think it’s necessary or even advisable to attempt to classify and define it too closely, because to do so is to risk confining both writers and readers by binding them with rules and regulations about what’s right and what’s wrong in a story that features any kind of power exchange. I don’t personally think there’s a right or wrong way to write this kind of fiction, it all depends on personal taste, need and interpretation of interest, one size definitely doesn’t fit all and that’s how it should be, we’re all individuals and variety is a good thing.
