Hey, guess what I just did?

Signed up for another challenge.

Shocking, I know.

Anyway, you should all go here: http://kamikazeremix.livejournal.com/42070.html, take a deep breath, and sign up as you throw yourself off the dub-con writing cliff. Do it!

Have fun! I'm not doing it this year, but I did it I think the first three years and it was awesome. Well, mostly. ;)

I'm just praying I don't end up having to remix some million-word fic :)

Heh. It's one of those situations where it all works better if people are considerate enough to pick a story that's not hugely long but also not 500 words and also not just a PWP sex scene between two people who've known each other their entire lives. IMO the best thing is a short to mid-length story with multiple characters and loose threads, but that's just me. ;)

Could you please tell me what the difference is between D/s, sub-con, and non-con? I'd like to know so I can navigate fic sites.

Thankies!

This isn't scientific, just my take on it.

D/s is a consensual relationship in which one partner is dominant and one is submissive.

dub-con is short for dubious consent - where it might seem like one participant is unwilling but it's not entirely clear, or that participant isn't entirely sure whether or not they're doing something they want to do.

non-con is just what is sounds like - actions taken against a completely non-willing party.

That's over-simplifying, but it should give you some guidance.
