Meh, is this wrong?

I'm 18 years old and diagnosed with Aspergers. Recently i've gotten back into writing and I joined Wattpad. I posted a few stories, and my stories do get mature but most would say that's normal.

Now I had a weird dream last night and I kind of decided to write about it. The thing is, my dream was about my favorite fan couple but as a abusive relationship. I actually decided to make it into a story. This is what scared me though. I wrote 3 chapters of it today and well, to put it plainly, chapter 2 was about the lovely girl who's my icon getting raped.

Now i'm not going into detail but the scene is about 4 and a half paragraphs and...kind of detailed, I guess? I guess if you want to know you can PM me for my Wattpad account so you can read it yourself... I don't feel guilty about it...not exactly, but i've never written something that dark before. It is part of the plot though, it's not just a random rape story...

I dunno, is it ok to write that stuff as long as it's fiction? It's not like I have plans to go do that to a real person...and I highly doubt i'll write something like that again...

If an actor (or actress) can portray characters who may range from almost being the actor to the complete opposite, why not authors? We applaud actors who can portray a wide variety. I see no reason to revile an author of variety. The main issue is when we blur the line between fantasy and reality and it sounds like you'll not be crossing said line. You tried writing something different and regardless of whether you do more of it or not, the fact that you tried something new is a good thing.

Literature is full of violent, disturbing and frankly sick scenes, some far worse than what you describe. At the end of 'Le Roi des aulnes' ('The Erl King') by the acclaimed French novelist Michèl Tournier, three 12-year-old boys are anally impaled with flagpoles and stuck on the roof of a castle. This novel won the Prix Goncourt, one of France's most prestigious literary prizes, and Tournier's books are worldwide bestsellers.

So I wouldn't worry about a rape scene (which is not to say that I condone rape in any circumstances). Just don't try and live out your fantasies.
