I could do away with the inst-love too, that's one of my pet peeves. And I totally agree with you on the multi-millionaire Doms, why are they all filthy rich and absolutely gorgeous? There are more average looking people, that's why they're called average. The number of characters in stories that are all stunningly gorgeous, tall, and surprisingly have an overabundance of green eyes is astounding. It's like only these type of people have all the exciting things happen to them in life. I want to see and read about average looking people, people I can relate to.
I love shifter stories so I hope those continue. I'd like to see more older-younger male pairings because age differences are hot :) I also like more pairings between students and professors, or someone in a professional position and the other an intern or apprentice.

How about if he starts out wealthy, then loses his wealth? How does he keep his slave? Or does he? And how does he get him back if his slave is taken from him if the owner happens to have fallen in love with his slave? ;)

Yes omg that would be awesome. Master cast out from his world of privilege, has to fight back to save his love... very slow burn. Would be especially awesome if the slave was technically considered a higher rank than his now-disenfranchised former Master
Ugh ugh I'm annoyed by the lameness of our genre sometimes. So many AMAZING stories that could be told but we keep trying to squeeze milk out of the same dried up cows.

OMG yes! The slave is now higher ranking than the Master! Can you imagine the angst? :D
You need to write iiiitttt! :D

...Before or after The Freelances II, Fun with Dick and Shame, Reversal, and my transgendered YA WIP....?
YOU should write it :3

Write fasssterrrr!!! lol! :D

The one I really want to read is Fun with Dick and Shame :)
Oh, and I'm not really a writer, I'm not as ingenious as you and a lot of other authors I've read.



Wow, I go off to work for a few hours, and this turns into an awesome brainstorming session! Someone has to write the fallen master story!
* looking pointedly at Isa *

How could I forget medical kink? I think I'm actively trying to suppress it after reading Not His Kiss to Take before I went to the doctor. Um...awkward... :)

So everyone tells me! I'm dying to write a frat story, but it would involve way more research than I want to take on at the moment. They're just fascinating to me... a whole foreign world.

*looks pointedly at Isa again*
I totally get what you mean about shifter stories. There are some I love, but it increasingly feels like the current crop of them is just more of the same. And where did this idea come from of bonded mates anyway? Animals don't mope around waiting for their bonded mate. Hell no. They leap on the nearest viable candidate and stake a claim! They make their own bonds, they don't feel some weird mystical connection that means there is only one option for them in the whole entire universe. That's a fast track to extinction, that is. :)

Animals do create their own bonds once they choose their mates, but the ones in stories are what I consider paranormal shapeshifters which has a different set of extra rules that don't pertain to ordinary animals. There is a mix of what seems like 'magic' affecting shifters that somehow was handed to them by fate. What I'd like to see is someone write a story where the mythology of why shifters have this instant mate recognition and where it came from. Was it a curse? Or possibly a mutation in the genetic makeup that causes it? Did it prove to be an adaptation that was beneficial to the weres because it somehow strengthened them when they found their mate? I kind of go with the curse or the beneficial aspect of the 'instant mate' aspect.
But I do like were stories and I like finding the mate part. It just hits the right spot for me because it's different from the 'love at first sight' found in so many romance stories in both M/M and M/F fic. Even if we don't know why weres need to find their mate, they have a reason for being the way they are, they are weres. The human romance stories are just overgrown with insta-love.

I love bonding stories or forced to marry/bond themes and there are not a lot of them out there, especially ones where the two person forced to bond don't fall in love after 20 or so pages.

That would be weirdly disturbing...I'd read it in a heartbeat!

Yeah, I should have been more specific in what I meant. Its the paranormal bonding aspect that I've read too much of lately, and I'm a bit tired of it. You're right -- it's never explained. And I'd also like to see it used more negatively. What about two people who are bonded, who really don't like each other, but who need to be together? There's some fun conflict, right there? But no, it seems that the second they're bonded, they always stop fighting it.

I'm not a huge fan of mpreg, but maybe I haven't read the right ones yet! I do love forced marriage stories, but I love forced anything stories... :)

I think it would be nice to see some angry, lustful mate sex, but they can't stand each other either. Maybe it would be some sort of story where one is working undercover and has to be someone he isn't and the mate doesn't know he's undercover but can't stand the 'person' the undercover mate has to portray. So he hates the other shifter even though they are mates. And the other undercover mate hates his mate because the mate is giving the undercover mate such a hard time about an image that he has to have for the undercover job. Lots of misunderstandings so there is lust but angry sex :D Until the very end when everything is straightened out :)

That would be great fun! This discussion has let loose so many crazy plot bunnies... I must hunt them down!

I can easily think of plot bunnies, they multiply like...bunnies, lol. I'm just not good at writing stories to the plot bunnies :\

Want, want, want. So true....especially good ones.
===========================
I would wish to read books that have more dialogue between characters than just one or two sentences in a paragraph. With the rest stretched into the what, when, where, and why they said what they said. I flip through pages so fast wanting to get to what 'so-and-so' will say or do next. Can't they just have a conversation (a long one) for chrissakes?
Really? Does one need to know what his lubed fingers will be doing for the next four to five pages? When the boy says 'fuck me', that's what you do.
I have read some seriously good stories that keep me glued to the Kindle. But I'm finding them less and less. *sigh*

[bookcover:Big Deal, Volume 1: Lust ..."
Thanks D! I will check that out.

And this is why I have a computer full of half-started stories that may never see the light of day :)
I still love a good shifter story...but I'm with you. It's increasingly hard to find a good one when there are gazillions out there.
