That nobody's left a comment here? When I first discovered Foster Care at Seto_Anzu Love, I felt like you'd revitalized that community and eagerly devoured all that you had to say (along with the spring of other content that emerged with the other authors).

Actually, I think we're very healthy; it's just that this (like other fanfiction LJ communities) leads to personal friending of its members.

So, I guess the short of it, is no, it’s not meant to be an adequate portrayal of male sexuality (nor if the character in question had been female would it have been meant to be an adequate portrayal of female sexuality), and I ought not to digress so….

I shall sum up: thank you for your frank words about your response to the piece. I admit, writing heterosexual fiction is not really a specialty of mine. I also don’t read much of it, and so I’m always interested in how BL conventions are perceived when transferred to heterosexual fiction. ^_^
