After finding out an IC friend (and I thought OOC friend) was scheming to rape one of my characters without consent, I was faced with retconning entire months worth of rp, or putting that character on the shelf for awhile (I chose the latter).
You had another option. Â Telling the player, "No. Â Not just no, but fuck no. Â Get bent." Â If that seems too harsh for you, please, by all means, contact me and I will be your angry ball of angry and tell them for you. Â I promise to leave most of their face intact when I'm done. Â

what had been a very enjoyable endeavor to that point.
Absolutely, although the adage of ICA = ICC does apply. Â On the one hand, I do believe in fading to black if something is overwhelming. Â On the other hand, unless the antagonist is willing to also accept the consequences (which might end up ending his or her character!), it's not worth it, really. Â Seriously, if someone is doing something to your character, or expresses a desire to do something to your character that you simply cannot handle, tell them no, and walk away. Â Has nothing to do with retconning and everything to do with your fun.

That just means they're assholes, nothing more, nothing less.
