Ah, I think this is it for me - I never really want to read / explore the characters in a full-time, 24h/day BDSM lifestyle, which is what the premise of most BDSM AUs is.
I've only been interested in exploring this dynamic in the sexual aspects of the relationship, whereas the AUs bring it to the statute of social establishment, which in turn brings a whole host of social (in)justice issues, which I don't always want to think about when reading fanfic.
Heh, I take heart in RL experience, which taught me that you can't always tell what dynamic one enjoys in the metaphorical bedroom just from what you know of the everyday life of a person. So I feel free to imagine whichever character as whichever role, including Carolyn - Carolyn - as vanilla rather than the dominatrix she appears to be *g*
