Abstract: Novel Manuscript Other Me is a work of fiction, set in near-future Australia. Protagonist, Alex, is among the first humans chosen to trial a new luxury-model habitation pod designed for subterranean survival shelters and/or off-world colonising efforts. The pod, known as Habitat Three, is maintained and run by a restricted artificial intelligence entity known as R.A.I.E. (Raie). During the trial, Alex experiences a troubling sexual incident with another trialling inhabitant, Ian. Under the influence of alcohol and strong sleeping drugs at the time, Alex is unable to recall the event. Other Me explores Alex’s shifting understandings of boundaries, power, and the ‘self’ following the incident, as she attempts to understand and navigate a ‘post-sexual assault’ reality. Abstract: Exegesis The accompanying exegesis details my approach to writing fictional sexual assault when creating the novel manuscript, Other Me. Situated in the context of a post-#MeToo publishing climate, the exegesis considers rape myth research a valuable resource when writing and exploring sexual violence and its representation in literature. Potential applications of this research in writing and literary studies are demonstrated with reference to its influence on Other Me, and usage in deconstructing fictional sexual violence in three notable works: The Handmaid’s Tale (Atwood, 2010), The Natural Way of Things (Wood, 2015), and My Dark Vanessa (Russell, 2020c).
