If you're evil then nearly every Supernatural fan is too! I think it may be compulsory for you to take pleasure in Sammy Sam's pain at least once... *cackles* It's the eyes. They're just made to look all pathetic and upset. The floppy hair helps too...

See, I find reading dubcon easier than reading noncon. Especially when people seem to want to go into great, horrific detail on the latter. Who needs to know? Seriously? Use your readers imagination against them if you want to mess with their heads. Just leave hints, let our minds do the rest for us if we want it to. I kinda don't like having it slapped in my face with no way of ignoring what's going on. Makes me hit the back button asap. But dubcon... actually, depends on what makes the consent dubious, you know? Some I can read but others makes me cringe. Part of it, for me, is the way the writers deal with it. If it's not handled sensitively (and for me, this is noncon, dubcon, abuse, etc) then I just don't want to read it.

I read one fic where Sam was self-harming, which I kinda don't like anyways because most of the time it kinda smacks of 'I'm emo and think this could be cool' which, you know, no. But yeah, Sam was self-harming, and cut too deep. The bit where I finally gave up and just thought 'no, can't read anymore' was when they were in the hospital, and the doctor went against Sam's wishes and told John! WTF?! I wanna be a doctor, 'doctor/patient confidentiality' is kinda a big thing with me. So yeah, there are actually quite a few things that will make me stop reading. Admittedly, I generally don't mind the idea of abuse fics, and do read them when I see one, but... most of the time I'm disappointed. God, Harry Potter fics are the worse with that one. I dunno, people just seem to think that an abused child will turn into a bratty, sullen teen, or a teen that seems to want approval from everyone. It's like no one seems to think that quite a lot of the time, victims of abuse don't act out. Hence why quite a lot are overlooked.

Plus, most don't consider it as abuse or realise what's happening to them is abuse. I didn't. *shrug* So yeah... *cough* I'll just step off my soapbox now... *blushes* Just, you know... you dealt with it awesomely! *nods* Yay!

I did like it and er... should possibly apologise for the somewhat rant-worthy reply up there... kinda something that really bugs me. Lol. And tell me about it! I haven't slept for nearly 48hrs! *whimpers* I kinda figured I'd just stay awake as long as possible today, then go to bed at a normal bed time hour and wake up, hopefully, in the morning... *glances at clock* um... yeah. Just gone ten and I know if I go to bed, I won't sleep. *head desk* Please shoot me? Please? I promise not to haunt you.
