Hey, guys, i'm sorry if you were expecting this to be an update (I promise it's coming soon), but I just wanted to come on here and talk for a sec about something that's been bothering me. I've gotten a lot of comments recently about this fic having too much SA and I just wanted to speak to this. I myself am actually a survivor of SA and writing similar experiences and letting my mc work through her trauma and be allowed to heal has helped me work through a lot of my own trauma. It was really important to me to be able to write this whole experience more realistically than what I'd seen in other fics—where the mc is completely fine after the traumatic event—so that other survivors like me might feel more validated in their healing processes instead of being left to wonder why they're struggling to bounce back as easily. I'm sorry if mentions of SA make you uncomfortable, but, to me at least, wanting these themes to be eradicated from fiction feels similar to silencing the voices of the victims and sweeping the issue under the rug. SA is a real issue that deserves attention and deserves to be something that we can talk about so we can better protect the survivors from feeling shame over a situation they never asked to be a part of in the first place. I feel that I haven't been very graphic with my writing of the SA scenes and I have given warnings so that you guys have the opportunity to skip them if you'd prefer to. I hope you can understand how frustrating it is to be getting these kind of complaints from you guys after you have seen these warnings and chosen to continue reading anyway. All this being said, I do love y'all and I'm so happy and thankful that you're here. I ultimately don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable, so, while I don't plan on writing any more scenes like these, please don't hesitate to let me know if there are any additional ways I could accommodate you in the future without having to also sacrifice writing for myself. Thank you <3
