It's the "Lori Effect" in action!

Good to hear Louise! The last time I checked there were about 2 or 3 who have decided to start reading because of Lori's glowing review!
MadLori:
I might point out as well that I posted the same review on my personal journal, where I've had several friends and readers of my other work say they're interested in starting it, too.
Also, baileymoyes just posted a very sane, personal opinion which was not presented as FACT or "the truth." I thanked him (her?) for demonstrating how an opinion ought to be offered.

For people still trembling on the verge or still in the closet, it is wild, titillating, and mega-kinky. I opted for mild, consent-based bondage and play, because to me this is about as far as Ennis would go with his natural dominance.

Of course, for many gay men who are out, perhaps the majority, that would still be "wild, titillating, and mega-kinky," and I'd emphasize the "titillating," as they'd get excited reading about such activities but would never actually do them. The true "kink community" is most definitely in the minority of gay men.

The Lori effect is in action again, Christie Wood (do you remember her?) just posted on another forum that because of MadLori's journal, she decides to start reading your story.
