I had never thought about falling out of love with a kink before. I've been thinking about my story reading habits and there are some I've had and lost. I used to read lots of dog stories, but I finally stopped because it seemed like so many of them would pair the kid and dog together, then once they were a true team, in order to prove that the kid could handle LifeTM, the kid had to lose the dog. Blech. For some reason, the horse stories don't seem to go this route. I wonder why.
I also used to read Arthurian legends like mad. I'm not sure why I stopped reading them. Maybe I burned it out, maybe I liked my internal version better, I'm not sure.
I used to be terribly squicked by RPS. I don't read it now, and probably won't ever, but the idea of it squicks me less on a visceral level. I do generally feel less self conscious about enjoying a story kink story with a kink I disapprove of but cannot seem to shake, if the storyteller is one I trust with the politics of things. I've been mulling this over for a while, and will have more thoughts later.
