I Tie Up Gloria

[Boxlicker101]

I recently had a story approved for submission and the name was "I Tie Up Gloria". It was about role-playing with me pretending to be a prowler and Gloria pretending to be my victim, whom I tied up and raped. I classified it as "erotic coupling" since there was no real force used, and it was really consensual sex involving two people. It was classified as "Non-consent", which is misleading, because it was consensual. Can this be changed?

No. It's a story about someone who was raped. Role-play or not. You wouldn't want to anyway. There are a lot of people who don't want to read that kind of content no matter how sugar-coated and loving it is. The categories are there for the reader's convenience, not the author's. It gives the reader a method of choosing which stories s/he wants to read while avoiding the kind s/he doesn't. A lot of people detest that particular fantasy. If they come across it where it shouldn't be, you're going to get crappy reviews and ratings.

There are a few categories that are considered "automatic" whatever the case. Incest, Non-consent, non-human, erotic horror, fetish, BDSM, gay, and lesbian. If your story has that theme, it will be stuck in there.

Non-consent is rape victim fantasy. In other words, it's for stories where the rape victim has either fantasized about it (yours) or where they enjoyed the act.

From the FAQ

"The theme of stories in the Non-Consent category is control and power. Men and women in these stories fantasize about being 'taken' by another. This is not a glorification of rape, but an acknowledgement that people do have these fantasies - because fantasy is not reality, it can be enjoyable and cathartic without the risk of harm."

I meant to put this all in one post, I'm sorry.

That is probably true about people being turned off by a rape fantasy but these people are not going to read a story about someone being tied up anyhow. Those people who want to read about rape will be very turned off by a story about two people playing around and pretending and having fun together.
