On kerfuffles and gay romance and giveaways
Last year, there was an outcry over a YA anthology that was prohibiting same-sex stories. There were a LOT of posts about it on the internet. There were a lot of authors who got up in arms and dropped out of not only that anthology, but an anthology being edited by the same editor, an anthology that I was writing for.
In the end, what ended up happening was that the anthology lost half its line up and the editor was removed from the project. We got a new editor, and a new line-up (an AMAZING line up, if I say so myself), and the publisher pledged to donate the proceeds to a homeless shelter for LGBT youth. The new anthology includes several LGBT stories. I’ve read them, they’re great.
And the internet? Is silent.
The internet could really do with less of a short memory.

Sadly, I only know what’s put in front of me. What does it say that things going terribly shows up so much more often...

As an author of QUILTBAG-friendly YA dystopian fantasy romance, I should probably signal-boost this. Also, tumblr...
