I don't know - not having to worry about pregnancy seems like a plus to me.

You can't compare judgements on art to judgements on the real world. Art is born in the land of subjectivity and that's where it will thrive. What the readers bring to your story, how they transform it in their minds, is as much as part of your novel as your own intentions, and they have the...

Sometimes people can't see past society's weird sexist programming, but not everyone is like that and it doesn't always mean that you failed. I remember being shocked to hear that there were Utena "fans" who demonised Anthy, said she was the "real villain", and made Akio out to be a "good guy"...

Today is the final day that you can make reservations for Sappho's Spinning Wheel. There are 23 hours remaining. Please follow this link for more information and message me with your reservation ASAP if you're interested...

I was made to write a lot of men as a kid, so I found it nigh impossible to go back to writing women when the time came. I made a lot of really shallow women when I tried, so I avoided it as much as possible. In my experience, the only thing for it is to bite the bullet and write women. Write...

Are these characters from your current story? Such pretty men~! :blob_melt:

I strongly recommend "Fire Burning" for the bored. It's a BL with all the fun of a shounen battle anime. (And I guess I'll add some mandatory self-shilling. Here's my GL short story collection, "Muirgen & Other Tales". Has heroes saving princesses, tall-ass dark elf women, and mermaids.)

Waiting to be invoiced for my commission :blob_melt: So exciting~!

Anyway, it's really late and I think I've basically entered "old granny talking about the old days" mode, so I should probably go sleep before I get worse. (As a final note, lurking in communities counts as being part of them for the most part. Reading, listening and learning are engaging, even...

Oh, you mean the ace and aro communities still talk about it? Or the anti-folk? Sadly, those witchhunts were my departure from real ace culture, and kind of the wider LGBT+ community for a long time. I ended up fleeing my online communities due to the devastating effects on my mental health...

Queer is a catch-all that doesn't erase anyone's sexuality and doesn't force itself as a personal identifier on the people involved. It's also more of a descriptive term amongst the community, rather than a hardcore identity. That's why "queer" is supposed to be safe to use, but it sucks hearing...

"Queer" is also my go-to, but the issue is that there are people who aren't on board with reclaiming the slur and all, so we're technically not supposed to use it without permission. Which sends us back to go round and round again...

The definition taken from here (https://www.umass.edu/stonewall/sites/default/files/documents/allyship_term_handout.pdf) is, "Individuals who experience their gender identity as two genders at the same time or whose gender identity may vary between two genders." So it's perfectly possible for...

What about bigender characters who identify as men and also something else? *shudder* Aren't there separate terms for non-binary/agender folk who are attracted to men/masculine people or women/feminine people, though? Or ones that they're more able to use?

"Fire Burning" by bafflinghaze - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/160447/fire-burning/ "The Glory of Bowsette" by Thedude3445 - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/124048/the-glory-of-bowsette/ "A garden of violets" by Toomanysorrows-...

Sorry, it's not what I'm asking for in this thread. I'm happy for authors to recommend their own novels here, but only if it really fits what was requested. There will be plenty of readers who enjoy your more conventional BL, but this thread isn't the right place for it. Good luck nonetheless.

I've been tempted to many times, but I like seeing what's actually popular and kicking around on the larger Scribble Hub. And yet, I'm curious what would pop up as trending purely for BL or GL...
