Hi guys,
This is NOT an update.
I was very nearly finished the next chapter, when I started getting comments on my book saying I was making Hongjoong as abusive as the manager, and that there was way too much hitting.
I have always been prepared for "hate" comments as I know this isn't eveyone's cup of tea, but it has made me rethink writing these stories. I began to wonder if I did get too carried away, and if it seemed like I was endorsing abuse. I tried to continue writing, but these comments seemed to block my thoughts and I haven't been able to even bring myself to log into Wattpad until now.
For the record, I am completely against corporal punishment. I grew up with it, and although I was always extremely against it, spanking fics always fascinated me and were like some sort of relief to stress. Maybe it was because of the comforting after a punishment, as that was never something I had experienced. I feel it is very similar to the hurt/comfort trope that so many people love.
I chose to write about kpop groups as I have always partially believed there is some truth to this in the real kpop industry. I also found it interesting to explore the emotional and psychological side of this scenario, such as how members would react and how far they would go to stay together.
I ended up blocking the reader, but I am still trying to get my head around these thoughts.
I feel like the comments may have just been at a bad time, as I was in the middle of writing a kinda iffy scenario (I can't give too many spoilers, but tempers may get long somewhere), and now I am wondering if I have crossed the line.
Do you think I make the characters get too carried away and that I should tone it down a little?
I have read some pretty extreme spanking fics, so I never thought mine were too bad, but now I am really unsure of myself.
Just let me know your thoughts and I will go on from there.
