I went there but it was removed, because it was just related to my story.

are you writing from your own personal experiences? thats the most important thing here. are you just trying to make yourself comfortable? or are you trying to tell your story?
Iriscute7 t1_j1m7vpg wrote
It's not personal experience. I just felt uncomfortable with how this was portrayed. I have older friends who have gone through such a situation. And books that glorify r*pe is just uncomfortable for me.

its an uncomfortable thing, thats how it should feel reading it. i dont know how it could be anything else. what did those friends say when you told them about your novel?

Their in uni so we're aren't in touch.

And I agree with you, it's supposed to be uncomfortable. But I can't understand how it's bad if it's from a female victim pov but okay and interesting when it's from a male pov when he's the one who initiated it, and touched her without consent.

It's a very tough question. One I'm not sure has a proper answer.
It certainly has a place im stories and I think it's good that you want to het in the gnarly and gritty stuff. Instead of glossing over or glorifying it.
But beware that this is not one to make any mistakes with. You will need to nail this one. A bullseye.
And no, it's not really the right place. I'd argue that you go to r/Fanfiction.
More forgiving folk who tend to appreciate the more obscure and darker parts of things.

Hope it helps you tell the story you wish to tell. Just do your research.

I did a ton before writing (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Good.
So I'll say that I do tend to read the somewhat darker stories often enough. Not sure how much of a help I can be but I'll offer a listening ear and whatever advice I can give you should you want it.

I'm immediately sceptical because you said "females".
I think you should leave this kind of story to someone who has personally experienced this, and not just profit off the suffering of other women
Iriscute7 t1_j1mdycg wrote
I'm not profiting of other women in making awareness. I'm not even writing for profit I'm writing because I love my character and love writing. A person can't love writing?

You can write about whatever you want, but if you call women "females" you're gonna have a hard time convincing me that anything you write is good lol
Iriscute7 t1_j1mjjrk wrote
When did I say females?
Iriscute7 t1_j1mea9n wrote
So hero stories making profit about them r*ping women and they become sex slaves are acceptable and make profit, but a story of a victim is considered wrong and abused for making profit?
So if I don't experience it I have no right to write about it?
So all the stories with an mc who died many times. Did they have to die before they could write the story?

i think a lot of people would agree that its a mature subject with an incredible amount of emotion involved

What kind of feedback did you receive? Was your low rating due to the story or the writing itself?
Iriscute7 t1_j1m7j8f wrote
Also pls is this the place to discuss about this? Of not can anyone recommend me a place?

You might want the writing subreddit, instead of the books one.
