You’d think, anyone seeing my penname would understand right off that my stories aren’t romantic or comedies. They aren’t dramadees, either. I don’t have heroes or knights in shining armor. No one succeeds in saving the damsel in distress. And in my stories, women’s lib, Fem-Nazis, strong women, and the Me-Too crowd aren’t going to be pleased.
Those looking for that sort of work had best pass me by. I mean, honestly, doesn’t Rapist Ryan scream RAPE?
I write about rape in a brutal and realistic way. One of my ‘fans’ has made two comments, and both pointed out that she was triggered by the two stories she commented on. But she also said I write well, and she’ll keep reading me. That for her, she feels better after the flashbacks pass. I guess that means something. I’m happy when people like what I write.
Writing about rape, I don’t expect good votes. Some people who don’t have to pay to read a story will read things they know they won’t like. They express it with their votes. That’s cool. It doesn’t bother me at all. Do I wish I could have better scores, I sure do. But I write for me and anyone else who likes darker stories.
Stories, fables, and myths that don’t end well can be fun. I hope those who enjoy my raw song and dance about the bad guys who get away with it, whatever it is, will find and follow me. I’m being very productive right now because I’ve been writing but not publishing for a long time.
I polish them a bit, fix mistakes, and put them up. I have a new one up right now. Well, really, all four of my stories are pretty damn new. Check them out, Rapist Ryan
