Yes! Just last week I was talking to a friend about the one thing I really look forward to from ai is to translate literature, especially in the commonly spoken languages. Arabic, Spanish, Urdu, Hindi etc that we don't get translated often. OK a lot of Spanish is translated but non western languages aren't very commonly translated.

Good stuff!

Check out the beach by Joy Williams too! Think I posted that here.

Personally never had an issue with that. OK maybe the beginning to 'killing commendatore' was a bit of a shock.

Thats the good stuff. Love this

I'm finally at a point where I'm not up do date with all stories posted here! Thanks for posting consistently.

He wrote Mayflies! I hadn't recognised the name

How many 'youngest to have' records has she broken! Can't wait to see how her work evolves over the years

I have definitely been personally victimised by honk

I've been waiting for the first nsfw post here. I'm glad it's not smut.

But now I feel like I ought to tag a lot of stuff as nsfw

I love what pronell said and you could go that route! Although I'd also like to suggest going allegorical as an option.

There was a poem I read, which used a snake bite as an allegory for SA. I can't seem to remember the name. I think it was by Francesca Lia Block although I'm not certain.

Depending on why you want to write that as part of your characters story you can adjust the allegory. If its about the abuse of power and the effects it leaves on people that snake allegory would do you well.

If its about being realistic, that won't work. Unless you want to make it like an adjusted memory. Smth the victim doesn't wish to remember and hence remembers smth else instead.

Off the top of my head:

• A rose losing it's petals to represent loss of innocence/ beauty.

• Trespassers destroying someone's garden, a violation of boundaries.

• A painting that's torn, destruction of ones sense of self.

Good luck, but before you make your decision I suggest you make sure you know why you want to write about it. That'll help you make the correct decision for you.
