Simona :
This conversation has happened in fanfic for years but I’m glad it’s spreading over to publishing.

Genuinely curiously where Song of Achilles stands. I love that book so much, but I’m also willing to reevaluate the media I love after hearing other perspectives and learning from others.

This is why it’s not just about representation on the page, but diversity of authors is so important

I ✨FEEL✨ this, but I have a hard time explaining it to others, esp. with examples. Even without using specific books/media, could someone make a video contrasting what these two "styles" look like?

I want a space opera that as part of the ensemble cast includes a himbo space marine and a nervous science nerd who are both boys and fall in love. They then keep getting separated but they end up

as an author who writes MM, I worry about this so much. I never want it to come across as fetishizing! but I'm also not cishet, even tho that's how I'm often perceived 😭

Currently reading you should be so lucky by cat Sebastian, gives brutal reality of navigating queer existance in the 60s but also manages to show queer joy in a really lovely ballange

I have noticed that a lot of the m/m book recommendations on booktok tend to be mostly written by Cishet women. second-most I've seen has been femme presenting queer people, then masc presenting

I have a hard time with MM romance because of this, I would love your recommendations!! Cishet WW writing MM often comes off like cishet WM writing women.

I find if it's in a library's or bookstore's recommendations you're usually golden. Sometimes there's good lists on goodreads or story graph.

RomanceLover :
One of the challenges of this conversation is that romance as a genre removes a lot of lived experiences to wrap up relationships in a happy bow. So separating the layers out is difficult.

My first interaction with MM was fan fiction generally written by people who cared about the characters. But boy is there some fetishized stuff out there as well.

I love mm romance and they are in my life and they also are reading the books I’m reading. Also I have never seen any FF romance books in my local stores. No one ever recommends ff either. For why??

You so eloquently and thoughtfully explain concepts I've stumbled and stuttered trying to articulate to people. As an old guy, I remember eating up every piece of representation I could find and 1/2

I am a nonbinary/gender fluid (afab/ commonly femme presenting) person who is writing an MM romance and including lived experiences of myself and the queer people who are my closest friends. 1
