(Anonymous) 2011-04-23 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)For what it's worth, I'm ESL and it seems that I worded the secret badly.
My point was, even if she'd include gay characters, people would still buy her books. Considering that she's written so much slash, I find it weird and yes, even hypocritical that she doesn't include any of that in her books. Like, it's okay for her to include gay characters in her free fanfics, but when it comes to stories people actually pay for, she won't do it because she's afraid that people won't buy her books anymore.
IMO, it's very cowardly and really makes it look like m/m is just ~hot & sexy~ to her and that supporting LGBTQ rights (supporting = including them, admitting that they exist) under her actual author name is something she doesn't dare to do.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-23 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)glad i understood you correctly :) and yeah, it's really problematic when someone who's in such a position of power as novik/astolat (i mean, she's huge panfandom bnf; she runs otw and its associated projects) drops the ball like this. she can and should do better.
