So, if you're reading this, I am presumably (at least in the parlance of LJ) your friend.

ficsoreal recently posted a story, noting that it did not have a warning some readers might want; she suggested that if you were concerned, you have a friend read it for you.
This is not a rec, and not an un-rec; I haven't had a chance to read the story in question, and I'm not sure it's my particular cup of tea, as a friend or two have already read it for me and passed along the warning.
This is just information wanting to be free. Inasmuch as I am your friend, and I know what the content of the story is, and I do not want any of y'all to have a triggered/squicked/generally Thursday-upsetting fic-reading experience (or to miss out on a story that is exactly your cup of tea, for that matter, if you're so inclined):
A Lifetime Commitment byficsoreal contains a rape. The story is, in the author's own words, intended to be upsetting.
Now you know! And knowing is half the battle!
...And if I've just kicked off Bandom's 2008 entry into the unending lineage of warnings-debates, I do apologize. The author chose not to warn; that's up to her. I have friends I know might have their day ruined by reading this story unwarned; that's up to me.
