Soo.... What do YOU want me to write today?

Aug 07, 2011 10:36

Taking prompts again... on a general theme of gender, sexuality, and how they go funky.

I'll write at least 150 words on everything I get between now and this time tomorrow. And, as always, tipping guarantees more wordage - and helps me buy the lovely giraffe carpet. For more information, my Donor landing page is here ( and on LJ)

Or there's this... Loosely Stranded world, or, at least, the Theatre Club of one of my Stranded World seasonal siblingsOkay, theatre = gay, right? Especially in college. Everyone is sleeping with everyone, and everyone's a little camp, a little over the top, and more than a little genderfunky. It's kind of how it goes ( ... )

I love this. There's an annoying trope about queer people becoming not-queer for "just the right person." But I do like the reverse, the idea of someone becoming flexible for just the right person, because ... sometimes sexuality is more fluid than people think, until they meet someone who makes them melt in more ways than one.

Hi *waves* and thank you :-)

I think it's cool that you would be aware of that possibility, and open to it.

Hmmm... I'm not sure I would. I have a girlfriend whose somewhat genderfluid in how she dresses and such. She's biologically, and currently identifies as, a woman, but, to be honest, and I've told her such already, I would have real difficulties if she began identifying as a man. I just really need to be able to see my romantic partner as a woman.

I imagine that would've been some kind of challenge. :)

>>I took a fifteenth shot for courage, and noticed she did the same, and we're heading upstairs.<<

I like to get into a character's headspace. This line really did that for me for both the characters involved.

Awesome, thank you!!

One other thing I like about this piece - the main character is clearly challenged in his perception of gender and is expressing uncertainty about the situation.

*nods* Yes. I don't think it would have been genuine without it.
