    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    To bounce off of this further, when I think of some of the strongest female characters that I know, a manga called Basara comes to mind. It's like an epic shounen-style adventure manga comparable in scale to Rurouni Kenshin or some of the other big battle mangas, and the protagonist is a badass...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    I mean, by the same logic you can't criticize people who write trope characters because they like them. 90% of harem anime follow the same formulaic lens, and it's incredibly successful because the audience likes them. By the same perspective, it's also why the same wish fulfillment yuri GB...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    I mean, BL and yaoi as a genre gets a huge amount of flak for not being realistic or depicting men well, you know? My point is that there is a difference between approaching a topic/genre realistically or through a fantasy lens. Many authors approach their characters through a fantasy lens, and...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    Oh certainly! But I mean, I'm not even talking about it in terms of privilege or whatever modern political stuff. I'm just talking about it in terms of practicality as a writer. For instance, suppose you are a writer and you want to make your protagonist Japanese (for god knows what reason)...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    Hmm... I feel like my instinctive reaction is to say there are notable differences in the way that each gender experiences the world. It’s not always perfectly interchangeable simply by flip flopping it. It reminds me a lot about what people say about race. In an ideal world, a black...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    :blob_dizzy: I'm confused I think it depends on who you talk to. It's not strange if some people think that one gender is easier to write than the other; there are some other people who think the opposite. For me there is also the hopelessly reclusive social introvert...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    It's a really popular genre. Also the transgender community on SH is very large -- larger than most other mainstream novel sites. I think at least 2-3 transgender writing communities converged on SH, and they have a huge presence on the site. Other than that, gender bender is just plainly...

    Yup, they’re idioms. It’s analogous to “curiosity killed the cat” or “better late than never”.

    Recommendations [R-18] LF> Lewd gl novel with heavy bsdm themes

    I'm sort of coming to this from a smut author's perspective (in a similar-ish genre except BG), but sometimes I think it might be good to just write the story that you want yourself... It's the most reliable way to get the story that you want... because at a certain point (especially with...

    I mean, you've seen what I tend to do in my story outline thread.... I'm not actually writing a tragedy story, but it's up and down like a rollercoaster a lot.

    Writing Is it okay to make a Xianxia-styled novel with all main characters name English ?

    I think it's important to do what what you're comfortable with and work towards your strengths. If you feel like you're not able to do a good representation of Chinese culture, I think it's better not to try to open a Chinese restaurant. It's easy to miss or misinterpret some cultural nuances...
