Run away, run away!

Has anyone already read resonant8's Terms of Service? Is the noncon part, and I apologise for the vague wording, bad?

At the moment, I'm kind of hypersensitive to that sort of thing, which is why I've stayed away from say auburnnothenna's In the City of 7 Walls 'verse.

It's just-- it makes me grit my teeth and clench my fists and the helpless rage is choking me and I cannot stand to see the characters in these kinds of situation. (Why, damn it, why? I want to read those stories!)

Eta: Got the info I wanted, thank you very much!

The point it is to not have a pretty, fun and nice portrayal of slave fic.
Well. Yes.

Disturbing yeah, and for that reason I can see why reading either is hard.
And when I say I enjoyed Auburn's story it's because of that. *points at your sentence* Disturbing and interesting.

I get much more discomfitted by stories that leap over that aspect to go for the hawt [...] factor.
But it's essentially a (sex) fantasy. The reader knows it, the author knows it. (At least, I like to think so.) Isn't the hawt factor kind of the point of those things?

Perhaps, except that I will tend to refuse to read outright any story that contains that sort of thing if it isn't responsibly explored. Just because I've known so many people who have lived similar experiences and it isn't hawt or cool in the least. Disturbing, unsettling, down right traumatising, yes.

I can't diassociate to the fantasy world. Hence I can read Auburn's because it isn't asking me to, instead it is sort of subverting it.
