Grabbed from likeadeuce: Let's play this game where you guess my favourite tropes and fictional character types.

Soldiers! Wars! Very repressed Brits and their issues! Stories that are firmly situated in queer culture!

Ah, repressed Brits, how I adore them.

Cutting and pasting what I said to likeadeuce about soldiers, above:

You're mostly right about soldiers, I think, though I'd modify it a bit: professional soldiers, career soldiers, don't generally interest me as much as temporary soldiers who've joined up or been conscripted because of a war. I think it's because although war stories fascinate me, I am uncomfortable with the military ethos and I prefer to focus on people who fight because circumstances don't leave them much choice.
