Is this NC?

I’ve started a story in Human Light, but as my partner and I are writing it, I’m starting to wonder if it should be in NC.

My character is essentially manipulating her character into consenting to sexual acts. If she says ‘no’, nothing will happen. But her character doesn’t really know that, and is feeling scared. My guy is taking advantage. They’re not having sex (we haven’t decided if they will), but the activities are sexual.

Does this mean we should move the story to NC?

The term usually used for that is 'dub-con' (dubious consent), and it's really a gray area.  Probably edging out of 'Light', though.  I'd talk it over with your partner, and figure out what kind of tone you're going for (is the other character getting more and more uncomfortable as things progress, or are they getting into it?)  A lighter tone with a power differential could be D/s-ish, while the darker tone would tend towards N/C

Thanks!

It’s reassuring to know that I was feeling uncertain because we’d entered the gray area. I’ll point her at this thread and we’ll let you know if we decide to request a move.

We’ve had a quick chat, and the freedom to explore something darker without worrying about forum rules is appealing to both of us. Please relocate the thread to Human NC solo <3
