Thanks for sharing your process, I enjoyed reading it.
It's interesting to me that in slash fandom (as least the circles I'm familiar with), "Daddy" is almost always treated as part of ageplay and incest kink. Whereas in porn on Nifty and ASSM, it seems to me that "Daddy" is used to cede and to recognize Authority-- not necessarily connoting ageplay, incest or infantilizing/patronizing implications. I mean, it shows up in ageplay, age difference fantasies, incest and infantilizing/patronizing contexts too, of course, but in a number of stories it's like it's gotten generalized beyond that to represent ultimate authority regardless of the fantasy during which it's employed.
Not that Nifty or ASSM are like, reliable journalistic sources or anything-- *g*-- it's just something I noticed.
I thought your story arrowed right to the issues a lot of people seem to have with the word and what it represents in kink, and showed a more compassionate perspective. Really well done.
