I've started the categorised Tag List. Managed to whittle it down to 517 tags, which sounds like a lot, but surprisingly doesn't feel it. Everything's a bit sore now, though, so I'll stop for tonight...

It's not necessary. Playing into your character's bisexuality doesn't have to be done that way. Really, that's a pretty tired and overused trope already...

"The Traveller and Fortune" from Aesop's Fables has been released from its reservation for the anthology. If anyone would like to reserve it to try their hand at it, it's now free. This is a link to the previously reserved version of it: https://fablesofaesop.com/the-traveler-and-fortune.html

I would expect them to maybe mention past male lovers or crushes, or have the bi character appreciate attractive men, or even take into account a bi person's different experiences and perspectives on life and dating. Even better, if you're dealing with magic and fantasy lands, bisexuality is...

How are you judging that, though? Sometimes people use doll makers that are fine with people using them for other projects, or they'll have commissioned art for themselves.

You can have sex without feelings. Friends with benefits aren't romance, but they could still be BL or GL. You could also have an abusive relationship as the centre stage, without wanting to mark that as "romantic". Honestly, we're writers. We can do a great deal outside the box with just a...

And it's separate from Romance for a reason, reinforcing my point that relationships don't equal a Romance genre. "Normal" people are going to get further along and find that their assumptions don't help them that much when trying to find things. Also, the MtF, FtM and Genderless Protagonist...

No, it doesn't, because that filters out perfectly good GL that have bi protagonists with only girlfriends or multiple GL characters. A BG genre or tag would help people better find the novels they want to read and takes absolutely nothing away from anyone else. Romance indicates that a story...

Their argument is that it indicates containing GL and not solely containing GL. There may be multiple relationships, multiple POV main characters with their own relationships, etc. The whole thing is here...

BG Romance genre would make life so much easier for everyone. And there are always people looking for pure story with no romantic subplots attached, so "No Romance" would go a long way too.

We have a black standard poodle with an attitude worse than Georgette from "Oliver & Friends". She's our second poodle, closely following our beloved deceased dog, who was the most loving and gentle pupper I've ever known. But, for our current dog, she's an adorable little torag, and was doubly...

In the very first yuri I tried to write when I was younger, I did this so badly that, when I went back to read it years later, I realised there was 0% yuri in it. I also recall writing a huge, sprawling story, and there was... I think less than a page? The miracles of writing never cease.

There are still 3 weeks and 4 days until reservations for Sappho's Spinning Wheel are closed~! Until the 28th of November (GMT), you can reserve a tale to adapt for the anthology or change your current reservation. Those who choose to change their reservation will still get 6 weeks to work on...

Romance is added to GL that focus on romance, as it should be, so that wouldn't work. On the topic of minding the lack of different relationship types...

You don't have to include a het romance to create a bisexual protagonist, though. They could have past lovers of other genders, or just express an appreciation for other genders. In the absence of a het tag, I would honestly advise putting a note at the bottom of your synopsis that there will...

Was it "The Ice's Yearning"? https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-ices-yearning/

Nothing on here, but I once encountered the BL novel from Hell. The blurb sold it as a dramatic romance about a demon man who was the prince's lover. He was exiled and chased out for some crime, but fought hard to return to his lover, etc. And all the reviews were 1 stars begging the author to...

It's an author's job to manage their readers' expectations. Ideally, you should never end up with a reader who doesn't want to read your type of novel actually reading it, because that leads to negative ratings and reviews. For many readers, their time and emotional investment in a story is...

That's not what's happening with these stories, though. This is about a large number of novels where there's only one MC and they have multiple relationships or encounters across the novel - some of those being with women, but many or most being with men. However, it's actually the norm for the...

You could just Google them, you know... You have all the world's knowledge at your fingertips. Anyway, "Demi" here is probably referring to demisexual. "Demi-asexual" is redundant - Demisexual is part of the asexual spectrum. Demisexuality means that a person feels no sexual attraction (is...
