Lo, behold some seemingly gratuitous—in fact, suspiciously gratuitous—“damsel in distress” imagery for the bondage aficionados out there! (At the risk of waxing a bit SPOILERiffic, you might keep in mind exactly who is relating this incident to the reader.) By this point in the series, I was still providing some “DiD” content for the folks who had originally commissioned the work that evolved into Empowered, but the imagery became increasingly detached and isolated from the books’ ongoing storylines. TBH, I could probably cut most of the upcoming stories with "damsel-y" content from the webcomic serialization without much impact to the casual reader, but what the heck; might as well post every Emp page there is, for better or worse.

BTW, as I probably mentioned before, a number of the "damsel in distress" aficionados who've been around since the beginning have told me that they don't really appreciate Emp's bondage scenes any more, due to the embarrassment and humiliation she clearly experiences during 'em. Not sure how common this sentiment actually is among the "DiD" portion of the readership, but I definitely found this to be an interesting change of heart.
