Anonymous asked: Thank you. I just… really didn't need yet another delusion, especially one in which I am convinced I am a sexual predator by dint of existing. Your response was very validating and I appreciate it. Like… people choosing to romanticise abuse depicted negatively and as abuse in my work is indicative of them needing to work through some stuff, not of me being a bad person.

You’re not a bad person for writing about abuse. I’ve written numerous fics in which abuse is depicted as something the characters have to overcome, because I often use fanfic as a way to deal cathartically with negative stuff in my life. It’s very common among ficwriters - certainly among the ones I know - and you don’t deserve to feel bad because of it.
