Okay. Feel free to say no or tell me to bugger off or whatever, but you're the only person on my flist that I know to be of color, so I was wondering if I could e-mail you a bit-o-fic and find out if you feel it's offensive?
The problem I'm having is that I want to write a slave!fic for a fandom that's set just after the American civil war, in a slight AU universe where the war hasn't been fought yet...it has a 'visually white' character who (in this story) has a spot of black on his pedigree and a runaway slave for a mother up on the auction block, and his brother that he's never met doing the purchasing.
I don't think I've written something that will legitimately offend people, but I lack the cultural perspective to be sure. I would desperately love your feedback and advice.
ummm ... i'm not into violence but ... *poke-poke* ... and if that doesn't work, emotional blackmail ... think about all the Clexers you're disappointing this coming Christmas by dragging your feet, shame on you and your muses!
how was that? too cruel?
i love your stuff by the way, always have, but i'm staying clear of wips simply b/c my heart can't handle it, your rides can be emotionally exhausting so i'm just going to wait until i can cheat to insure a happy ending before i dive in ... i know, i know, i'm a chicken-shite, sigh, what can you do?

Nobody better poke you for GP! You only gets the motivational stick if you don't bring us the porn. You're on notice :)
