interesting thread.

we've sort of discussed this before.

and each to his own etc etc and there's lots of stuff i won't read so i'm not ever trying to push it on someone.

i just wanted to point out that all sorts of h/c are about the hurt and then them being rescued from it. there's no comfort without hurt.

just explaining that it's not so much 'oooh i want to read about people being forced into something they don't want to do!' (some people like that i guess. not me) but more getting enough 'omg NO! SOMEONE SAVE THEM!' so that when they do get saved it's a big impact.

or something. :)
