No wonder every time I do NaNo, my world is 90% queer.
It balances out how the way so many other fictional worlds are 100% heterosexual. Especially, alas, sff ones.
I have a real problem with finding stuff to watch/read, because sff tends to have no LGBT characters, or no significant, recurring, non-evil ones. On the other hand, the texts that do have LGBT characters are mostly soaps and sitcoms, which don't interest me.
it's really nice to be sharing a fandom with you again
Thank you! And, you know, ditto. (Have I mentioned my nefarious plan to lure you into writing some Henry/Big Guy? It's quite nefarious.)
As pissed off as I am about That Thing in 3x09, I can feel my affection for the show coming back. It's got a lot of characters I really like, and apart from the sudden heterosexual shippiness as far as the eye can see, it's going in directions I find appealing.
I liked the idea of seeing the Five from the outside, and the story arc about him feeling excluded, but it should have stopped there.
Yes, exactly. The exclusion thing, the cliqueishness of the Five, that was really interesting. But they've kept Adam around for too long and made him too central. Plus, whoever decided on the "dead daughter" backstory seriously overegged the pudding.
