Misunderstanding

Ahem.

I am going to both post a new post and update the old post because my vanity is so wounded I think it is so important that I correct the mistaken impression created by my previous post.

Thank you SO MUCH, by the way, to everyone who replied to that post! As someone unfamiliar with the genre, your thoughtful, in depth answers will be very useful.

But just to be clear, it was a research question about what a character might be reading.

I was not planning to go get a bunch of them as research into writing style, etc. *cringes* Personally, outside of aliens-made-them-do-it type scenarios, I cannot abide rape-fic. Non-con in a "realistic" setting just becomes rape to me, and... *shudders* One of the people commented that she did think that rape was an effective plot tool when it was committed by the villain, allowing the villain to get his ass thorougly kicked later, and I get that, but I despise the movie Rob Roy specifically for the use of that plot device. It's just not me. *shudders again*

And OMG. My cat STINKS! Yes, I realize that is totally unrelated, but she's sitting here in my lap and OMG!

*goes off to inspect cat for stink source*
