Note To Self:
If you are reading a fic or watching a TV show, and the sex is hothothot or the actors are attractive or whatever, but the story gets all horror-movie-ish with rape and torture and Bad Things Happening, then YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO KEEP READING/WATCHING IT.
You know you have nightmares. You are a grown woman. You don't have to prove how cool you are to anyone. You don't *have* to know how the story ends. If you aren't enjoying it, you can bloody well *stop* at chapter 5 rather than reading all the way through chapter 50 to the end.
And don't skim/knit either. You're not fooling your subconscious when you pretend not to notice a dismemberment, ok?
Slash is supposed to be fun for you. So is TV. Stop with the horror stuff and maybe your brain will be a little less freaky, ok?
*sigh*
