A Rapeficcer Writes...

Um, I write a lot of rape fic because I like writing it. I have no idea why and part of me is ashamed that I write it so frequently and really wishes I didn't, but I write it anyway.

While I can understand where you're coming from, OP of Secret 8, with regards to finding non-con fanfic, I can't understand for the life of me why it's anyone's problem but your own if noncon in large quantities makes you feel iffy and you won't pace yourself. It's not the ficcer's fault for making the fic available: it's certainly not their fault if they've been certain to include disclaimers. Almost all the non-con ficcers I know are absolutely scrupulous as regards content warnings, and I'm no different.

If you know overdosing on rape fiction makes you feel ill, why keep reading it? It's your responsibility to stop reading. Blaming the author for making it available in the first place is like blaming the guy behind the buffet cart because overeating made you feel bloated and ill.
