Well, I'm not entirely sure of the most popular ones, but a lot of fanfics in this category might deal with how the vampires and humans interact while being very cautious about the age of consent. Some might rewrite certain scenes from the original books or movies to better fit within the age of consent framework, like a fanfic that reimagines Bella and Edward's early interactions with more emphasis on legality and mutual understanding.
There is also 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. While not directly focused on the age of consent, it does deal with issues of protecting the vulnerable, which is related. Scout's youth and the way she is treated in the context of the adult world in Maycomb can be seen as touching on the idea of when a person is considered ready to make certain decisions about their own life.
An 'age of consent novel' can address social issues by highlighting the power dynamics in relationships. For example, if a story involves an older character and a younger one, it can show how society views and regulates such relationships. This can lead to discussions about fairness, protection, and the rights of the young.
It adds a layer of responsibility. Writers have to be careful not to cross boundaries. For example, if a writer is depicting a relationship between an older vampire and a human, they need to ensure it's within the age of consent laws, which can be challenging as the vampire's age is often much older. This can lead to more creative ways of building relationships in the fanfic.
A 'consent novel' could be a novel that explores the theme of consent in various aspects. It might deal with issues like sexual consent, consent in relationships, or consent in a broader social or ethical context.
In schools, teachers can use non - consent stories during lessons on ethics or social behavior. They can discuss how the characters in the story felt and what could have been done differently. For example, if a story is about a child whose toy was taken without permission, the teacher can ask the students how they would feel in that situation and how to ensure consent in similar cases. This makes the concept of consent more tangible for the students.
One such story could be in a school setting. A student was pushed into a game without being asked if they wanted to play. They felt uncomfortable and left out. This shows that without consent, even in a seemingly innocent situation, people can be made to feel bad. Consent is about respecting others' boundaries.
An 'advice and consent novel' is probably a fictional work that focuses on the interplay between advice and consent. This could mean that the plot is driven by characters who need to get advice in order to make decisions and then secure the consent of others. It may also look at the consequences when advice is not heeded or when consent is given without proper consideration. For instance, in a historical - based 'advice and consent novel', a character in a court might give bad advice which leads to a situation where consent for a wrong policy is obtained, and the story then unfolds to show the chaos or resolution that follows.
One example could be 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. Although not solely about consent, it delves deeply into issues related to the lack of women's agency and consent in a dystopian society.
Consent in romance novels is crucial. It shows respect between characters. For example, a simple gesture like asking if it's okay to hold hands or kiss. Without consent, the relationship can seem forced or even inappropriate. It also sets a positive example for readers, teaching them about healthy relationships in real life.
