Hahaha... It's relevant though. I wonder if he's allowed his BB creams and products in the military.
~~~ Can't imagine that it's your first... we seem to be knee deep in them all the time.
Who do you mean by WE?
I mean in the sense of a published novel with an overtly expressed same sex romance that is not YAOI, Nonfiction, or mostly biographical.
I have read LGBT novels for gender studies before but those were rarely about the shared dynamics of TWO individuals [or one individual's dynamic with several] and more about a personal narrative of the author---mostly about the journey of self discovery and self acceptance about their sexual orientation and/or gender expression.
The only LGBT fiction novels I have read that come close to any expressed romance are: Tipping the Velvet [F/F], Oranges are Not the Only Fruit {F/F], and Kiss of the Spider Woman [Trans M]. But if you are familiar with these you will know, any romance is less than secondary in plot and they are mostly semi-autobiographical. [AND as you can see, 2-3 are F/F romance centric].
Your book will be my first adventure/mystery, M/M romance, true FICTION. Something that is less about the politics of sexual orientation and more about ... well, I will find out when I read it, won't I?
Now I mostly just read short stories of LGBT literature. I only found out about Dreamspinner two years ago. But it was in mention and I forgot about it. Hahaha...
I'm eager to start reading novels again but I want FICTION! All kinds. Not just the semi-autobiographical kind about how hard it is to be queer. Sometimes, I just want a thrill. It's condescending of me but I don't need that reminder on everything I read for all ### pages of what I read. Sometimes, I just can't. OTL.
~~~ I am more worried than sad. As is, I am now unemployed again and I have little resources. My travels were a blessing and I enjoyed every bit of that experience like it was the last. What comes next, we'll see. ^^
I proposed a Q/A tag for questions about Korea in a post. Korea Q/A Feel free to drop your questions in the comment section or via PM. I haven't quite figured out how I will answer them yet but I will get to it soon.
