Re: Inspired by secret #12

[(Anonymous)]

I also got trapped in worries about a story.

I started writing a love triangle set in the future where one of the characters was in the police/military. I spent a long time describing him in his riot gear, in far too much detail for it to be anything other than a personal kink.

I was fine with that part. Only then I decided that I hadn't worked out future-Earth's approach to same-sex relationships properly, and that my whole story was gaycist (is that a word?) Which I would fix it by changing the military character to a woman. Okay, so that would be even better because I'd have the whole women-in-the-military problems to play with and the triangle would become f/m, m/m.

But that just screwed up the balance of the whole story. And a woman solider just didn't do it for me in the same way.

But the main reason I abandoned it was because I'd become convinced my whole concept was offensive to RL gays.

Even though it was the most disfunctional relationship of the two, my story went for the m/m in the end. The idea that I was being offensive to gay people still plagues me - for a story that never got beyond 10 chapters and which I never published anywhere.

Why can't I just write non-straight relationships without all these worries? I really can't.

It's good that in the end I thought about these issues, but to be honest, I'd rather I was just able to post whatever rubbish. It's the most tropey, id-pleasing writing that's often the most fun to read.
