Xanphibian, thank you.

Thank you, xanphibian.

For the record, I too am an incest survivor and I write about incest. heatherly's post... I have no words. Fortunately, xanphibian does.

Xanphibian sums up a lot of what I feel.

Yes. heatherly misses the point entirely. Yes. Many incest and rape survivors aren't just "okay" with these stories -- they actively seek them out. But to understand that, I think you should read xanphibian's post.

For the record, I'm bothered by heatherly's opportunistic fear-mongering about "outsiders" on the heels of the latest scares. There's potential for a fandom backlash against writers of incest, non-con, and chan. If that happens, no one's going to care if it's a good story or a bad story, or if it's "realistic" or not. We'll just be targeted based on the warnings.

If that happens, I'd do the same thing we did in LJ. I'd take all the warnings off my stories.

Lastly... "writing responsibly"? What the heck is that even supposed to mean?

*headdesk* I wonder if the people being all OMGNOESATTHESEFICSEW know that they are going to force fic writers to take warning s off and thus presenting un-warned for triggers to the survivors with PTSD. *sigh*

and I've seen the "writing responsibly" thing, and it blows and jsut pisses me off. I may not know for Sure what my biological father did other then take "photographs" and beat my mother, but even if I DID I would be PISSED at this whole "Writing Responsibly" thing. ugh.
