[QUOTE="Azaria, post: 2178429, member: 768606"] Do not include a rape scene just to have a rape scene. Putting rape in to a story is not against any rules, but do not do it just to have it done. If the actual rape is meant to represent something, if it is meant to play a larger role in something, then yes, but do it with as much tact as possible. I don't believe many people enjoy reading a rape scene, but I have read some and I did see their point, and their inclusion was necessary for a large picture. Just ask yourself what purpose it would serve and decide if it needs to be rape. If you are meaning to use it to strip the main female character of all her power, to take away her innocence, and show the rapist as evil...then perhaps, but do not have them later decide to be together. If the rape is essential because you want the aspect of the child...decide if a rape is what needs to occur for the conception, or perhaps just a poor decision on the male/female part. Tread lightly on this, and decide what role is truly serves. [/QUOTE]
