What's Your Favourite Kink?

I've not long been a member of DeviantArt but I have fallen in love with the platform (despite some annoyingly over-jealous admins) and the wide variety of works that I see being posted by some amazingly talented creators.

Now, I think it's clear what my main kinks are, and on the surface of it, they are diametrically opposed: damsels in distress AND femme fatales (or strong female leads/heroines etc). In my graphic novels, art and stories, I most often take one into a journey that turns them into the other.

But I also have several sub-kinks within this- clearly the relationship between dominant & submissive characters is there, but also, the idea that anyone can perform heroic deeds, or indeed, the opposite, become a self-righteous villain.

I also have a fascination with women who I guess would now be called 'matures' (after all, I am no spring chicken!) and follow a certain path: either strong women who have a fatal flaw or weakness that is exploited by others, or submissive women who want to become more than they are. The vengeance story arc (both good and evil) is often present- not just at the superhero level, but for the man and women of the street, and the themes of crushing of innocence and the rebuilding of resilience are all present too.

Outsiders are another theme that is common in my work, and how they deal with being different. Some, like Nina and Rita (see my Bloodtide characters), embrace that difference, whilst others seek to be accepted and loved (Rona Byron of The Blackmail Game series deffo falls into this category), and others make their own way (Lady Tempest & Sara Kalu of The Lady Detectives series). But within all that, the idea of heroines and damsels is pretty much at the core of all my work here.

So what are your principle kinks?
