I read a neat AR fic over on LJ that, unfortunately, was discontinued and removed because of LJ's change in policies last summer. The plot always stuck with me and so when I was accepted into the Games, I really wanted to come up with something original like that author had done.
Non-con isn't for everyone, and it's always nice to find someone else who can appreciate it along with me. I think my love for it is due to my strict Catholic upbringing. We were taught that the only reason to have sex was to have children, and it was actually 'sinful' to enjoy it - but the way around that is non-con; can't be a sin to enjoy it if you're forced to enjoy it, right?
Oh well, who knows where our kinks originate from. At my age, I don't worry about justifying it anymore, although I try and be sensitive to other's feelings. I had so much fun writing this and I'm glad it's been received so well. It was actually a team effort as so many helped me out by answering questions over on the team comm - remember the question on the water supply? You can see where that came into play ;-)
