Here's the deal, this is an author/reader poll and not a how to write the story thing. That I can (To me, anyhow) do. I'm putting it in AH for the traffic.

I have an idea for a story, probably the worst story idea I've ever had. That would not stop me, usually, but I have a problem with part of it.

Here's the problem(s):
It's a hero saves the day 2 parter in Non-Con/EC.

My problem, specifically, is the rape scene:

1. She's not going to like it, ever.
2. If I do it, it will be pretty realistic, because I don't fuck around with Theme.
3. The first chapter may compromise the second chapter (Maybe, these things can be fickle).
4. I won't enjoy writing it (even though I can).
5. Chapter 2 cannot be written w/o chapter 1 (metaphorically, duh :D ).

It will probably get slammed by haters as well, since I intend to hit some touchy subjects. (freedom!)

Whatcha think? Should I do it just because I can?
 
I won't be reading it, so I got no opinon on it.

But I have a similar question;

Should I write a story in which a woman dressed as a dog gets fucked by a man also dressed as a dog, while another man --not dressed as a dog-- fucks either her or the guy at the same time?

Doggy position, of course.

Well, maybe that's not so similar. :eek:
 
Payday you rather failed at explaining but I think I have the general idea. :confused:

I'm going to say two things, first write whatever you want. Second, if the first part only concerns the rape of someone in graphic realistic detail then you can't two part it. Graphic realistic rape can only be a part of a larger story.

Possible that you can post it in two parts, though you will need to have part 2 done when you submit part 1 and talk to Laurel about it. I remember there is a series in here where a sorta realistic rape happens, halfway through the series. The author still had to tone it down because that was the only sexual part of the chapter.
 
Does the rapist come to a bad end, like getting killed or something? If so, I say do it. If nothing like that happens, I would say to do it anyhow, even though it is less fun than what you usually write. Of course, you know, a graphic rape story with nothing bad happening to the rapist might be rejected anyhow. :eek:
 
According to Laurel it will be rejected if the woman does not enjoy it in some way. Refer to TxRad's recent posts. So save yourself the effort.

Also, dude-- what kind of rescue are you thinking of? If you're going to write realistically, I would expect to see realism afterwords as well. He's going to be sleeping on the sofa a lot when something triggers her PTSD. He's not going to easily cure her of rape trauma with his magic penis...

Not if you're being realistic.
 
My advice is, don't have a rape in part one which leads to some sort of love affair in part two. That basically makes part one a rape scene with no redeeming features.

Can you make it attempted rape? That is less traumatic, and she would be just as pleased to be rescued, if not somewhat more so.

When I submitted "The Rescue" I added a note to the effect that the attempted rape was a plot point. It was accepted without any query.

If you must have a rape, I suggest under-describing it. The Modesty Blaise stories had Modesty raped quite a few times, however they were very sparingly described, and she usually, if not always, ended up killing the rapists afterwards.
 
Yeah, I think a good guide is to include what you need too as long as its context for the rest of the story. I wouldn't recommend having it as the only main sex scene, but if its necessary to give the readers a decent history of what the girl has gone through, then do it.

We all know (I hope) that real life rape, without the nice ending, is wrong. And if its backed up by a rescue and the bad guy suffering his dues, then it should be fine.

I mean, despite the lack of consent, some rape scenes might be less graphic than some consented BDSM stuff.

Have a disclaimer if you feel people might get the wrong idea.

Seconded. Or thirded, fourthed, etc. If the whole point of the rape is to provide the hero with something to rescue her from, an attempted rape serves just as well and leaves her less damaged for whatever purpose you have in mind next.

If it must be rape, it needn't be a detailed scene. There's rarely a reason to go into graphic blow-by-blow if that reason isn't titillation, so if that isn't your purpose here, you can convey the event in many ways that don't amount to filming every move.

All depends on what you want to achieve, though.

No. At least not on this site. Not because the idea hasn't been played out, delicately, on every cop show on TV but because we here play in our XXX kindergarten where everything - including NC/reluctance - turns out consensual - even the BDSM.

We look for erotica that stimulates rather than violence. I think you underestimate the abhorrence most lit members have to violent rape.

Send a review copy to Rick Santorum. Sounds like something he'd like.

Seriously? At this point I'd think you'd give me some credit....

Well going by the first 2 points this story should get rejected. Making your other points moot.

But, because the site really has no issue with rape stories and its just something they like to pretend about, it will most likely get posted.

But I think you're right that it will get flamed meaning not many will check out chapter two.

However, the people who do go to chapter two would only do so if they liked chapter one so with the haters bailing after ch 1, two may get a decent score.

My final point is that if you really feel compelled to write it, then just go ahead and do it. Only way to find out how it will go over is to put it out there.
 
Could you do chapter two first. if you then feel the need to you could have her relive the events in dream, or have her describing what happened to a third party that wasn't involved. A therapist maybe, Rape counselor, A cop, Her lawyer. The possibilities are endless really.

You would have your audience hooked from the part two that is now part one. That way the violence of the part one that is now part two......

I think i unhinged something. I'll get back with you.

M.S.Tarot....i think
