Granted, that won't let you revise, add new chapters, or reply as the author to reviews, but it is an option if you need to disassociate yourself.

The fact that I was abused does not mean that I don't get that right to like what I like. Your abusers tried to make sure they owned your body and mind.
But YOU are the one who owns it. No one else. I can understand wanting to make fake accounts - and if you feel safer that way - that's okay. Just don't feel like you are broken for liking what you like.

I don't think that many people look down on fics with rape, and those who do should stay clear of the fics tagged accordingly, in theory, at least.
I think you wouldn't know how posting your fics'd affect your fandom expierence until you try it. Depends on the fandom and people you talk to there.

Just wanted to say, though--wanting to write about it is normal. Wanting to write about it in ways that may appear incredibly fucked-up or not a direct expression of your actual feelings (or what you've learned about how healthy relationships work)? Also normal. It doesn't have to be ~therapy~. It can be like scratching an itch or hitting a kink that wouldn't be OK to hit IRL. Like, the justifications I usually see for non-con fic are "women have rape fantasies because they want the sex without being slut-shamed!" and "~survivors virtuously working through their issues~", and fuck, it ain't that simple. The itch I'm scratching doesn't sound the same as yours, I like h/c that is essentially the sexualized version of throwing your main character through hell and watching them come out battered but still kicking on the other side, but... it's complicated and there are a whole lot of angles to come at it from. Fuck reductionist explanations.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-21 07:51 am (UTC)(link)In my current fandom, they can't get enough of the rape. I've actually stopped writing graphic noncon as the fandom appetite for it is too much, even for me. Also, I've got it out to a large extent and I don't need to write it any more, at least not for a while.
What I'm trying to say is there's a HUGE market for rape in fic. If you get a reputation as 'that rape girl' that will only be a huge recommendation for many readers.
Use a different name if you like (I use two completely separate names on AO3 myself) but I'm telling you, people will absolutely want to read that kind of fic. They may not comment much on the really graphic fics, but you'll get lots of anon kudos that show you you're not alone.
Personally, I also believe that these kinds of fics help people. I read that about 1 in 7 women have been raped/abused. That's a lot of people that need to work through stuff, and they each have their own different ways.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-21 08:09 am (UTC)(link)OP: you're worried about being attacked or trolled. In all my 10+ years in fandom, I've never seen a fic writer who wrote rape, even if it was in the kinkiest way possible, be attacked for that under their fic.
The only exception is if they didn't warn for the rape, really clearly. So make sure you warn! Tag, and also add additional warnings at the top of your fics if needed. The tags will also help people find your works.
I have seen rape fics been mocked on fic sporking blogs. Even that's not as common as it used to be. Too many people were commenting beneath the sporkings that it was mean-spirited and ignorant, and some of these blogs died a death. If that really worries you, then having a separate name for those fics will mean any comments outside your own blog/account can't follow you about.
You can also set your fics to private on AO3. Or post on a blog, and disable anon comments, or set it friends-only.
Also: I'm not suggesting that anyone has to be an abuse/rape survivor to write/read rape. It's a perfectly normal kink anyway.
