Death’s Cold Fingering is one of those stories where I think “Well, it’s kinda fucked up but at least nobody has to look at it if they don’t want to!” and then I get reminded that actually the mods have to check all the stories for codes and disclaimers and such and feel a little bad. I mean, if If I’d posted this on old school gurochan’s /lit/ board someone would totally replied “So, can Anthony fuck Rita Pedal Bin style in part 2?” by now. and that’s not the kind’ve fic you want to even skim. On the plus side, I don’t do celeb!
BronxWench review:
This is one time when I think not having played the game won't make a damned bit of difference.
Poor, poor Paul... Rita was most persuasive, and after all, it's not like Sofia was going to complain. On the other hand, consent is consent, and it's really not enough to assume the dead won't mind. Sort of the ultimate #metoo with one hell of a karmic kick at the end.
Good to have you back and posting!
Thank you for the review! I really appreciate it. I mean, I even like getting the negative reviews so the positive ones are really nice! I always err on the side of caution with consent issues and they definitely didn’t ask first so it got a Rape tag without a moment’s hesitation. Paul wasn’t really capable of giving informed consent to fingering Sofia’s shade either. A baseball bat to the head definitely counts as a form of coercion, right? Paul should have been strong and stood up to his punky necrophile girlfriend about right and wrong. Done a bit of Educatin’ Rita. Although, really he was coerced too. Rita’s the repulsive one here!
I don’t know that I’ll be posting much more – I have a lot in my scraps folder of notes and half (or much less) started stuff. I still dream of getting the Willow gangsnuggle story finished, I’ve got a first draft that I originally did for the Fate/Fun/Finesse prompt before deciding to make it You! 5 which basically just has Lupa pissed off under a silence spell thing that I might manage to make half readable, and that’s the closest to done. I'd be nice to write more though, when I have the time. I miss it. I miss reading stories as well – I used to read a hell of a lot more.
It’s Good to see you getting your writing published out there!
