Little rant
Dec. 12th, 2008 02:41 pmPlease, publishers (general but I have a clear name in mind...) if you release a story where a woman is having a lot of sex with two men, please, please, don't try to pass it as a M/M, please don't put it under the "gay/lesbian" genre... if you are really convinced that the gay romance or M/M romance is a passing fashion, and that the future is a menage between a woman and two men, so, be true to your claim, and use your "menage a trois or more" genre, and let the "poor" gay romance alone in their "reserve".
If you are wondering why I'm ranting, well, enough to say that I just read an unbelievable blurb tagged as M/M...

Date: 2008-12-13 02:55 am (UTC)I've never set out to write formula romance, though. I think it's important to give my characters a believable happy-ever-after, and the best way for two men to be safe in the early 19th century is for at least one of them to be married to a woman they can both trust. Just bear in mind that "menage," in its broadest interpretation, doesn't necessarily mean 3 or more in a bed ... and that's all I'll say on that subject for now.
I have a completely different book for a different publisher in progress right now. There's a more-or-less bisexual chap in that one, but he's not one of the main characters.
