Re: What do you want from queer fiction?

(Anonymous) 2015-08-29 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
What I essentially want is for it not to be queer fiction.

I want fiction - particularly fantasy and sci-fi, since that's where my heart lies - with queer leads whose sexuality is precisely as important to their characterization as that of the heterosexual leads in well-done mainstream fiction. I want a variety of character types, some heroic, some villainous, some in between. I want romantic B-plots where the hurdle to romance is something other than the characters' queerness - where it's their class differences, or their philosophical differences, or the fact that the knightly character doesn't really trust the mage's magic. I want the problems they face to be problems of plot, not homophobia. I want their acceptance or lack thereof to hinge on their personalities and their actions, not on their queerness.
