>>125 What hey nonny mouse said. I know when I'm telling, not showing, but the whole 'this will NOT be rape-fic' thing was established in the first post. I've already written a story with rape in it as a plot device - Butterfly Knife - and I'm not likely to write another. I'm sure as hell not writing a rapefic solely for the porn angle, and I really don't like the whole rape-as-love thing. Lack of consent is something I just don't get into. I wander on the edge of coercion, like in Trading Cards or The Science of Romance, but out and out rape by force or manipulation in the style of other stories here? No. And you guys know me, if you've been around here a while. You can trust me a little more than an anon writer you've never seen before.
