Darkscribes Blog for Rommel

Um...

Nice to see double standards are alive an kicking. I'd call this gross hypocrisy but that'd be too obvious. So basically the EFO QC reject my story on the grounds that it contains rape but somehow this other story  which is clearly labeled a lemon they have no problem with?

So what happened the "rules":

"Rape in fanfiction is treading on some very thin ice, not only because many readers find it quite distasteful. If you decide to go this route, it is suggested you be very careful as far as character bashing and OOC go. We are very likely to reject rape lemons, as well as fanfics where the rape is the entire focus of the plot. Should it be an event in the overall plot, we will probably be objective with it. Essentially, if the intent of said rape is to be malicious, or to arouse, don't post it here."

Somebody please explain this to me. Somebody please explain these people's concept of 'fairness'?

Needless to say, if you going to reject something on some bullshit technicality, then shouldn't you apply that to all other things equally?

Maybe now they have a rules in which lemons are not, in fact, meant to arouse. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that since Shinji is a guy and that doesn't get a boner out of the QC, then technically they didn't get aroused so then it's okay? 

I'm waiting for another round of bullshit. But I'm used to that.

Anyway enough of my ranting. If you have something to say go  http://www.darkscribes.org/site/blog.php?user=9 or http://community.darkscribes.org/index.php/topic,339.msg12107.html#msg12107
