And I'm glad that you were able to identify with what I was saying. :-) Yep, like you, I've longed for a more balanced, less sensationalist take on gay characters, particularly the "heroes." And I think one of the exciting things about an appreciation of yaoi is that it can bring together two people who on the surface might seem very different. You're a girl, I'm a gay guy and yet we can both tell each other stories and through them understand and appreciate each other that much better. And I wish you great success with <em>your</em> story -- it definitely sounds right up my alley. Please keep me posted!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('51','Alex Woolfson'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('51','Alex Woolfson','Thanks, Soltian -- great to see you here!

You know, I clicked the link to your essay out of curiosity and was amazed at how much I identified with what you're saying. I'm a girl myself, but I really identify with the idea of creating and developing stories, involving three-dimensional and well-developed characters (stories that "don't insult your intelligence" was a good way to put it), that just happen to involve homosexuality. I really like the idea of homosexuality being integrated into a story as if it were just as normal and natural as heterosexuality. Not ignored, not blown up, just there. I'm a comic artist myself and the story I'm working on focuses on just that kind of theme. The story is fantasy/sci-fi and the main focus is a romance between the two main male characters. The story involves a lot of heterosexuality and female supporting roles as well, the main focus just happens to be a homosexual relationship. Glad I could read your essay on this, keep up the good work!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('50','soltian'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('50','soltian','Hey, this is Soltian from over at Y-Gallery.

It's funny how you can think you know a person so well and yet you can learn things about them in their blog. This was really insightful as to why you are doing this. Something that never really came up in our many lunchtime discussions. I look forward to seeing your dreams come true on the pages of your books.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('47','Skreamings'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('47','Skreamings','Bravo!
