Thank you.
You're in good company. Leslie's Blowup is a pretty messed up story once you look past the fetishy aspects of it. But it's a fan favorite, and for almost two decades the feedback I've gotten on it as been entirely positive. And it's not just this story. Readers will give a pass to a lot of reprehensible behavior if the story otherwise fits in with their preferences. It's not even a conscious decision. It wasn't until years after I wrote that I realized the seriousness of Roger's transgression.
