Another thing I like about your work, in addition to not making them gay disco divas: you allow Dom to be guilty. There's no easy writing off of what were violent attacks on innocent people. You don't excuse it or try and make it seem to be less then what it was. You don't romanticize his criminal behavior, which I appreciate on a lot of levels.
A flawed Dom is still one worthy of respect and admiration, he's no less charismatic or worthy of redemption, but you don't achieve that characterization at the expense of what really happened in the film.
I conduct writing workshops every week for at risk, incarcerated and gang involved youth, and I'm glad your stories don't skirt over the tough bits in TFATF canon. I work with Doms and Hectors and Jesses, and one of the biggest challenges they face is taking responsibility for what they do, the good and the bad.
I find your 'facing up to the shit I did' Dom just as sexy and compelling as the 'in denial it was no big deal' Dom.
Remorse is sexy!
