I think most fanfic is intended to arouse either sexually or emotionally--though some is clearly not.
I'm also afraid I might be one of the people Emma got the impression thinks all non-con is meant to be porn. The problem is, I have read non-con that the writer said wasn't meant to be porn that read...rather a lot like porn.
That is to say, the story was very clear on the fact that rape is wrong and a bad thing and that it causes suffering, but it still read, even though this was a published novel, that the victim's suffering was being fetishised. Mercedes Lackey is in my opinion particularly guilty of this.
