Okay, this is something I've been holding in for a few months now, but I think you, the author, deserve this feedback.

I'm talking about Act II, Chapter 7.

I believe you know the chapter that I'm referring to.

I read the strategically-placed warning, thought "how bad could it be?", and continued reading. I seriously underestimated your writing skill here, for I became increasingly horrified as I pressed on.

I will point out here, all rhetoric aside, that I was impressed with how you were able to describe all of the physical acts in one short paragraph, yet preserve all of the emotion and evoke them within me. I was able to feel ever instance of dread, fear, panic, and despair as they were described in the chapter.

The impact of this chapter goes beyond that moment; it forced me to face several issues almost immediately afterwards. The issue that comes readily to mind was the overwhelming anger and rage that I felt towards people who actually do this in the real world. Even after two weeks the embers were still smoldering. It took a couple therapy sessions to help sooth the negative emotions that I've been bottling up. (please don't apologize for this, I don't hold you accountable) Even to this day the very thought of such injustices still makes my blood boil momentarily.

I have no intention of castigating you for writing this. Instead, I commend you for your writing skill and being brave enough to actually write this chapter. I believe that this chapter was as painful for you to write as it was for me to read. I also believe that you have done society a favor by writing this, making readers aware of the damage that rape can inflict on its victims and stirring within them the desire to do something about it.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Great job with Identity Crisis and keep up the good work,
Aramis

I'll second that, it was a particularly powerful bit of writing.
