on tragic queerness in sff (with tweets) · fozmeadows
in which I have some rant feels about tragic queerness in sff
Or, you know, read some non-tragic queer sff. Lesbian corporal in the king’s army? Check. Fairy tale queer ending to Beauty and the Beast? Yup. Asexual alchemist running a wizard school? Sure thing. And HarperCollins is about to get a queer pirate prince bamf (they don’t know it yet).
It’s out there, guys. You just have to look deeper.
We shouldn’t have to “look deeper”. That is the actual point.
I’m not saying the books you’re referencing aren’t good or important; they are. I’m saying that, right now, at this point in time, if you want a plethora of queer narratives constructed across a range of genres and themes, then your best, most easily accessible resource is fanfic, not just because it’s free, but because you don’t have to dig down to find what you’re looking for. It’s just there.
