Hello, I am working on the next installment of my series called The Fortress. One character is opening up about her history. For the purposes of this story it is important that in her family there was a lot of trauma, things happened that would definitely be against community guidelines if I were to write them as erotica, but this chapter isn’t erotic, she isn’t giving explicit details or descriptions of what happened. The fact that she opens up about it leads to new emotional connections with other characters and explains a lot of her behavior so far, but I don’t want to be pushing the limits of the content guidelines here. Does anyone else who is doing novels/novellas have any tips for how to include this part appropriately? Should I keep all erotic content separate and tag this chapter as non-erotic? Include a content warning at the beginning of the chapter?
I’m being intentionally vague because i’m worried about this post crossing boundaries too, but some of it involves a religious fanatic relative killing /maiming other relatives because of supposed sins.
