Probably not a female author under a pen name, unless she has a good friend to catfish for her across multiple vlogs where he appears. The story felt a lot like straight dude writing the strong bi female character, so that figures.

...I find it deeply depressing that there are apparently two Hugo-nominated writers with novellas about undersea monsters who've taken a hard turn into mistaking spectacle and stereotype for characterization.

I am honestly not sure whether "doesn't know how to write bi women" or "takes Tumblresque posturing as legitimate advice" is more obnoxious.

The publisher has hugo-nominated work, the author doesn't.

It's primarily relevant because we're talking about a site with editors who pick agent-represented work rather than anyone throwing drafts over the transom.

I'm almost to the point where I literally cannot read most male authors 'attempt' at Strong Female Character. Most of the time, they are so obnoxious and the writer seems to mistake Random Bits of Bitchiness for Strength.

It just pisses me off, and I spend my time mentally yelling at the author--Women are people too! Not enigmatic mystery machines! People! Women are people too!!
