People aren't always clear about what they want from fanfiction, or what they expect from authors. Non fan fic BDSM fic online doesn't help-it's often full of bizarre attitudes and wrong information (not that I have much of a clue either but sometimes things are just obvious). Sometimes people take the opposite view and become convinced that if it's kink fic, it is required to follow some formalized script- there can be no gray areas or blurring of lines.
But I think it's like a lot of other areas of fan fic and the fandom world- people are not exactly sure what they really want out of it.
Are they only in it for the cheap porn? Or do they expect serious, dramatic and risk taking fiction? Do they want "realistic" bdsm, or do they want fantasy? Are they hobbyists (fandom wise), or do they want to be taken seriously as a professional writer/provider of some other fandom service?
