NC that doesn't necessarily end in some sort of reconciliation?

[MrPixel]

I have just written a brief scene where the FMC is leaving an orgy where she has taken numerous men, but is accosted as she is leaving "the pit" by an invited guest she was not previously intimate with. He forces himself on her, in essence raping her. She is so exhausted from the previous activity she does not resist, mentally shrugging her shoulders at the assault, in her mind chalking it up to the setting. She goes on her way.

Does this lack of positive resolution violate LitE's non-consent stipulation?

I can easily rewrite this scene to where the shoulder-shrug is when he approaches her, a "whatEVER" as she allows him to take her, mostly to get it over with since she's done for the night, and he's just another stiffy looking for a moist hole. But it doesn't have the impact/tension of her being raped.

I've heard so little about the rule that I wonder how well-defined it is. My understanding is that the site requires she get "something" from the experience, but enforcement is not thorough. I don't think anything requires reconciliation, and I don't think anything says that the outcome has to be immediate.

From your description there doesn't seem to be a point to the scene, so I have to imagine the reason for it comes up at some later time. Whatever it is that she gets from the act could come up then.

In my single noncon story, Aaron rapes Renee three times, and he's remorseful each time. The first time, he cancels a dept she has to him. The second time, he stands outside his back house where she lives and there's a "Streetcar Named Desire" sort of scene with him yelling for her to answer. The third time he gives her the truth that frees her, and the story goes on from there.

Probably. The policy is, the victim must eventually get pleasure from the situation.

I think it would be reasonably easy to tinker with the scene so it will pass.

 

[MrPixel]

No pleasure to be had here, even delayed, but no serious repercussions, either. FMC knew in advance that unwanted contact was a risk given the orgy-among-strangers setting with free-flowing alcohol involved.

I'll sleep on it.

Oh - and I think "rape" is going to be a trigger word for the filters. I will likely use the scene without the 'R' word.

It's going to depend upon how much distress she feels during, and the level of intimidation he employs to get her to surrender. It will also matter if this is a plot point in a larger story, as opposed to the story itself.

If she really is shrugging it off at the time, the narrative reflects that, and it furthers the story, I think it has a fair chance of passing. If I was writing it, the "sex" in that portion of the scene would likely be little more than a paragraph of a few flashes of positions/etc., and how she's just lying there, providing no encouragement, wishing he would hurry up and finish.

The more detail there is in the scene, and the more physical it is, the closer you get to the rejection stamp.

 

[MrPixel]

Plot point, little detail, and one simple act of forceful overpowering without a struggle. It's a bit of punctuation closing the recounting of a bigger scene within a much larger story. The act itself is two sentences in a three-line paragraph. The discussion of the NC aspect is in her relating events to the MMC, who had given her a hall pass for the sex party. She shrugs it off as being little different from the train she pulled less than an hour earlier. The most upsetting thing to her is the realization that it was technically a rape and the thought of it happening to her and not the physical event itself is what has her somewhat upset and seeking comfort. The intercourse part of it is "meh" to her given the drunken orgy context.

After sleeping on it, I'll strike "rape" from her recollection dialog and based on what you guys are saying I think we'll be OK.

I did an Erotic Horror piece in which (spoiler alert for those who care) the MFC is kidnapped by a serial killer and, shall we say, not treated at all well. Zero consent, zero enjoyment, zero reconciliation. Instead of those, she gets loose, takes him captive in return and the story, um, closes very, very badly for him. No complaints and Laurel was cool with it. So it is possible, but going back to the original question, I guess one could say there was 'positive resolution' in a sense.

I've ended a story like that on a dark, vengeful note.
