There's a lot of stuff I want to read. This, in part, is why I'm editing Scheherazade's Facade for Norilana Books. Because I want to see more gender bending, cross-dressing, and personal transformation in fantasy.
This, in part, is why everything I've done for Circlet features lesbian protagonists. Because I want to see the lesbian get the girl, and the happy ending (if not the happily ever after). (Frankly, I think everyone deserves to get the guy, girl, or person of their choice, but I can only do so much at a time...)
Frankly? The more I see the same old same, the more I want to break the unspoken rules. And I want to do it with the big presses. I want to see a DAW/Ace/Roc/etc UF that refuses to conform to the same old. No offense to the many fine authors I love to read, but it's time for something less heteronormative.
(Points to Jim Hines for his lesbian protagonist in the recent DAW antho, A Girl's Guide to Guns and Monsters.)
