Unless it is a very dark story, I usually think humor can fit in with a spanking, beautifully.<br /><br />As far as anal goes, I am just as satisfied usually with a book without it. The spankings are what interest in me. So I guess I can go either way. It can be very hot.

We're not all cookie-cutter products, even though we all have spanking and romance in the mix.

As a writer, I try to add a little humor, if the characters allow it, but I'm always worried it's not really funny and I end up struggling a little with it.

When I wrote the FAQ for Spanking Stories Book Club I said this was just like your real life book club, but with today's discussion of anal sex, I'm going to guess that this book club might not be quite like most real life book clubs.

The first spanking that caused the scandal is very believable because Sarah was too outspoken about her opinion (loved that part). Most men do not like that so his reaction was expected.

People are funny sometimes. Some people bring on the goofy slapstick stuff because they're clumsy or awkward or tongue-tied.
