I worry about this, deeply.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Out of curiosity, as a concerned person in fandom, or as a writer?

Re: OP

[kallanda_lee]

As a writer. I only recently started writing non-con, and I think it's even more complex for me, because my first relationship was with an abuse survivor, but I do think the kink is hot, too. Adding to that, ironically, I think I might use sexual trauma in fic as catharsis for non-sexual trauma (which is sort of messed up, but I think it works cause it's different enough).

In any case, a lot of it is just random, but I do write it as a h/c dynamic mostly, and I think some parts are "real", so to speak, because it gets jumbled together with real experiences and emotions, and if it's this complex for me already - I do wonder what it's like to read for actual survivors, you know?

Of course the read it of their free will, but still.

Re: OP

I've heard that some rape survivors read non-con for the h/c, healing aspect of it, or just as a cathartic thing (even when there's no real h/c involved).

For me, I don't have any experience with it, it's just what I tend to naturally find interesting to write.

I suppose the thing that worries me is the reasoning that people use for why Twilight is a problem. Yes, most people would know that Bella and Edward have an unhealthy relationship, but some people don't. Now, I don't portray rape as love (I go to some lengths to make sure it's shown how traumatic it is, even when it's partially kinky at the same time), but I still worry that there's *something* like that in there. I take my fiction as purely fiction and as a place to explore things that are a NO NO in the real world, but do all people?

So while I'm glad to hear that some people have gotten healing/understanding out of my fics, it makes me panic at the same time that anyone is taking it that seriously, even though I know I can get things out of fic that way.

But like you said ... they're reading it of their free will.
