Why do people like rape fics? I'll admit, I'm always on the lookout for a good H/D hurt/comfort fic (thanks for recommending Schwarzer Spiegel, Claudia--it's awesome), though I don't write them often. As it is, I feel extremely guilty for actually enjoying reading about something that causes suffering in the real world. I'm sure most of the people who read write these kinds of stories wouldn't wish anyone harm.
... so why do we like it? It's often said that fiction helps people deal with their own RL problems. That's understandable. But there are those of us who haven't been touched by rape/violence, and yet for some disturbing reason we like to read about it. What is it about these angsty hurt/comfort fics that draws so many good people to them? (and I am talking about hurt/comfort here. I only read such stories provided that they end happily)
It's the same with incest, for me. In real life I think it's disgusting, but I enjoy it in fanfic. I guess it might be a subconscious fascination with the forbidden, in this case. Dunno.
What are your thoughts?

You're Sixteen (You're beautiful and You're Mine)
Total fluff and sex...gives squeeze bottles new meaning.
I'll have to think about any serious ones; my mind automatically went to these two.
