Non-con poll

Poll concerning non-con fics and perspective. Because I'm curious and because *gasp* I am writing AU and the story is hurtling that way.
I find it difficult to discuss the whole subject, which is why I decided to screen all replies. If you don't want/need your reply to be screened, just tell me. :-)

[Poll #402995]

Just found your reply.

I find the attacker's POV interesting if he does not rape habitually. I am interested in characters who get pushed over one edge or another. Yes, Spike's predicament/state of mind in Seeing Red is very fascinating. A character who completely lacks a moral compass is actually quite boring, IMHO.

I posted the first part of the story that prompted this question/poll, and already people perceive cop!Angel as a complete bastard, but I have a backstory for him in the back of my head, I can see where he's coming from and how his deeds are the result of a long gradual slope downwards... so at least *I'm* interested in him while writing him.

Thank you for replying. :-)
