I'm not very interested in non-con, nor in "lesbian/disgusting"

I have most of Gerome's slave pictures on my computer, along with others depicting the lifestyle and rituals. I could send them to you if you like.
I would love to be a part, as long as it is not too soon. I'm still finishing my modern fairy tale, and have some work for school.
We could incorporate many of the practises, such as the ritual bathing, application of henna, kneeling positions, and branding of slaves. It would be interesting to see her grow into acceptance of her fate, as some owners will treat her well, and others will not. She cannot control who owns her, or what is done to her, but they never break her spirit. I can see her growing older, still beautiful, but instead of being cast aside and becoming a worker or being killed as was the practice, she becomes a sort of trainer for the new girls. Not saying we would want to take her there in the story, but with that in mind concerning her sense of self.
As far as what attracts them to her initially, she would have to be beautiful of course, but it would be that inner strength, that pride in herself while submitting to her master that intrigues them. For an Arab man at that time this would be a woman to conquer, a challenge he would be unable to resist.

Just offering suggestion for now as I watch how this shape up. I may try joining later on.
Oh, definitely that, I can write a bad experience!I agree that the kidnapped scene is old hat, so we'll stay out of that. Raped... if she finds a guy very disgusting and cruel, rape (or in Lit's version - non/con) is still likely. It has to be written though in a way that Lit accepts it. *shakes head at their rules* But that is a whole other tangent.
Sometimes I lack for words just at the crucial minute
How about the original idea-- She's been raised to be what she is?
Or, even-- how about she had no expectations but to be a menial, and accounts herself extraordinarily lucky to become a concubine instead.
Lalah, this is sex fantasy, not feminist manifesto...
How about she was sold into slavery by her familly to pay a debt? She is reluctant, doesn't really want to go along with it, but does so anyway because she think it's better she sacrifice herself than have her whole familly get killed or dragged off too.
She'd at first be shocked, reticent and repulsed by what's done to her, but she's a proud person and decided she'd try to get through this with her dignity intact.
So no kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome and all that, just a proud woman reluctantly doing what she has to to keep her family alive and free.

Now that has possibilities! A child of farm laborers or scullery workers whose beauty is hidden behind the grime of toil until one day . . .
Jeez you guys sounds so innocent to me. You'd sell yourself body and soul into slavery with no control over your life, no freedom at all, any random strangers having power of sex, life and death over you, and all you think you'd feel is warm and fuzzy?
Write it down, woman!Jeez you guys sounds so innocent to me. You'd sell yourself body and soul into slavery with no control over your life, no freedom at all, any random strangers having power of sex, life and death over you, and all you think you'd feel is warm and fuzzy?
Nobody except you has said anything about feeling "warm and fuzzy." I don't think anybody here expects that. But you can have conflicting emotions even if you weren't sold/forced into slavery. You can feel repelled by the task you're doing even as you take pride in accomplishing it. I think you're vastly oversimplifying the range of human emotion.
Write it, woman!
Goodness!I don't think you guys understand the enormity of the situation of being a real slave in medieval time...
...Already started writing on those emotions. Click my profile.
