I greedily gobble up your TC chapters as fast as can be, but I tend to be a bit more wary with SGA.
I only have myself to blame for that, but I really have been toning down the whump aspects of a lot of my fics (although my idea of "tone down" may not be the same as yours.)
With Castles, it's really a lot more mental whumping, and the physical whumping doesn't dominate the whole story. In fact, I would have to say Hounds of Hell you Cry had more intense whumping than Castles, but that just might be my opinion.
And, while I'm confessing, I have to also admit that it being a 'slave fic' is pretty much entirely the reason I haven't checked out Castles yet.
That's been my biggest worry with this. I know that most slave fics tend to be rather generic in plot and disturbing in the whump, and that when people see "slave fic" their immediate reaction is "meh." Castles became a lot more than a slave fic and I really, really don't want it to be judged by that label.
