Since I haven't found what I want to read, I've been writing it myself.
I have an urban fantasy with a male lead who is a character of color. I have a YA urban fantasy with a lesbian lead character. I feature a wide variety of ethnic groups and fantasy races rarely used in my work.
I get so tired of the same stereotypical characters that were probably made famous with Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Some of them aren't really even PEOPLE at all. They're just stereotypes with nothing to set them apart from any of the other main characters.
I'd love to see books in science fiction/fantasy/urban fantasy written about REAL people who have to cope with these sets of problems with what talents and abilities they have.
