Grrl Power VIII: Hotter Than What's In Sydney's Lunchbox

Heaven forbid people express their opinion about an author's publicly published fantasy when it is directly impacting the quality of the story.

Generally speaking, putting your own fetishes in a non-pornographic story tends to really damage the quality of the work. I've either never seen it done successfully, or it was done so subtly that I didn't notice at all. Maybe Girl Genius?

Totally Spies got away with it. So really it's about choosing your audience. It works really well if aimed at tweens.

EDIT: Of course that's kind of a "it can't damage the quality of the work if the work didn't have any quality to begin with" situation.
