Re: Fanfic Guide

The terms noncon and dubcon might be confusing to someone who doesn't read fanfic, since they aren't terms that get used in real life.

Noncon: short for "non-consensual;" usually rape, but can be extended to cover unwanted kissing, medical procedure, etc., hence why "rape" is not the term commonly used. Usually for the purpose of porn or drama; generally involves the victim clearly not wanting the act to occur, saying or thinking no, and/or not being happy about it later.

Dubcon: short for "dubious consent;" again, usually sexually explicit in nature, but can also refer to a medical procedure, etc. Usually for purposes of porn; rarely is this trope used for drama. Examples include a person initially not wanting sex, then changing their mind as the other person continues, sex while intoxicated, or sex while one person holds a severe advantage over the other. Generally involves only a vague or weak "no" or a "guilty feeling". In real life, there is no such thing as dubcon; sex is either rape or it's not. In fic and smut, it can be a handy signifier for people who want a character to be reluctant, inebriated, or conflicted rather than out-and-out not wanting it.

Another one that non-fanficcers might not know, while not a kink, is the term "trigger warning."

Trigger warning: often abbreviated as "TW". A note placed shortly before a story warning the readers about thing that may trigger a strongly unpleasant emotional reaction, flashbacks, etc. Common warnings are for child abuse, noncon, dubcon, eating disorders, major character death, slavery, necrophilia, bestiality, etc. Trigger warnings can be found on all fic, not just smut, and generally the higher the rating goes, the more likely you are to find trigger warnings. Not warning for common triggers is considered bad form means that you're an asshole.

I've written dubcon drama, twice. Didn't know it was rare.

Re: Fanfic Guide

Huh. I haven't seen it an awful lot, though that might have more to do with the fandoms/fic areas I frequent.

Actually now that I think about it, I've written it too, though it resolves itself retroactively into con so I didn't remember it when I was writing the above.

I dunno, maybe it's really common and I'm just not reading the right fics. I feel like it'd be a thing that's very very easy to get wrong, and so I've sort of steered clear a bit without realizing it.

It's not overly common but it might be one of those things that depends on fandom? Some fandoms are more prone to having situations come up [because of what the canon is/canon is based on] than others.
