WHOA! *loves this*

This is like a smörgåsbord of kink.

Thanks. My muse says it was necessary to counteract all the Faulkner. I'm not sure what my paper committee would say to that.

I would add non-con and dubcon to the warning list, even though they can be inferred from the summary.

This isn't my thing (primarily because of the non-con/dubcon aspect, which is a squick for me) but it's very well done. The way you give us hints of DG's experience through her POV (e.g., the lack of suspension cuffs) and then have Zero figure it out through her physical reactions (the way she grabs the rope, the scars, etc.) is a nice reveal.

I probably won't be following this but I hope you get lots of great comments from folks who do!

non-con and dubcon - what do these mean? I haven't ran across the terms before.

amedia July 17 2010, 19:53:59 UTC

They refer more to the relationship between the characters than to specific acts or devices (e.g. CBT).

Non-con is short for non-consensual - i.e., sex acts that are forced on someone who isn't willing. Rereading your list, you do have that pretty much covered under "rape," now that I think about it.

Dubcon is short for "dubious consent," where consent is not clearly given but the act isn't entirely forced, either. DG helping Zero for Cain's sake and finding herself enjoying it would be an example.

Your summary (and the first part) makes it sound as if DG/Zero will wind up being dubcon, while Zero/Cain will be non-con, although that's a guess. This chapter alone seems like mostly non-con with a hint of dubcon.

Thanks! They do feature, but not how you theorize. :) I'll add them in.

rissy_james July 18 2010, 00:44:23 UTC

Oh... my...

I'll be reading, albeit with my hands over my eyes, peeking through my fingers.

klcthebookworm July 18 2010, 02:12:05 UTC

They'll be some not-kink bits in too. I promised plot.

eustacia_vye28 July 18 2010, 01:14:03 UTC

Now I understand the wibble you had about warnings. :)

Definitely an interesting setup. I don't envy Cain at all.... Zero's a bad, bad boy, and I'm sure whatever he has planned won't be very nice.

klcthebookworm July 18 2010, 02:12:56 UTC

Your icon is really appropriate. ;)

eustacia_vye28 July 18 2010, 02:19:27 UTC

I do like using appropriate icons when it's warranted. :D

This doesn't sound like it's going to be a very happy story, though I hope it comes to some kind of satisfying conclusion. I'd say a happy ending, only a) that would prolly be inappropriate and b) oh, the pun in it. ;)

klcthebookworm July 18 2010, 02:24:02 UTC

I need a River Song icon, because "ssh spoilers" is really useful. ;)

Well, I like the conclusion, so I can only hope it satisfies the rest of you guys. :D

While the story seems like it might interest me, why are you posting 876 words only if you already know what the length is and thus must have it all or mostly written? I admit to not entirely getting the alien to me "baiting of people" approach here if you do have it all, when other people have posted 6000 or even something like 12 000 word stories at once, too? I'm just puzzled or virtually scratching my head or whatever, not getting the logic here if you've already written it. Is there a reason for the approach that I'm just missing as something obvious?

klcthebookworm July 21 2010, 01:41:34 UTC

I don't post anything until after it is written and edited. Never have, never will.

Not His Kink has twelve parts, and I didn't want to spam the community. I want feedback but I don't think it's "baiting" to give people time to respond. Then there's the little detail of I've been working two hours of overtime at work and posting is the last thing on my mind by the time I get home.

amedia July 23 2010, 01:28:11 UTC

This is a question I've wrestled with myself, ladynyks. I don't have my longer stories beta-read until they're completed, and then I usually wind up going through three or four rewrites; I can't imagine doing that kind of work on a story that wasn't an organic whole.

For example, my beta-reader suggested that I change the bet slightly at the beginning of House/Tin Man crossover that I wrote so that House winds up cheating to win at the end - which made it much more House-ish - but he couldn't have made the suggestion without the whole story in front of him.

When it comes to posting, though, it seems to be the ... hm. "policy" is much too strong a word ... the culture within LJ Tin Man fandom to post things in parts, with pauses in between. As someone who came into LJ from zine fandom, which has a very different dynamic, I didn't try to change the paradigm; I figured, when in Rome, post as the Romans post. :-)

klcthebookworm July 23 2010, 02:21:52 UTC

Maybe's it's baiting. All I know is the more you give, the less comments you get in return. They want to be tortured is the conclusion I came to a long time ago.

All I want is a little bone that I've pleased or displeased the reader to improve my writing. Spontaneous outbursts accepted. When there's nothing, I can only assume that I have driven readers away with my awful writing.

And they wonder why writers are neurotic? ;)
