I feel pretty strongly that anyone who says "Kink. Between non-hetero characters, it’s too far outside of my comfort zone" should not be a featured blogger at a Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event.
Am I being overly sensitive?
It just seems to me that someone whose "comfort zone" does not include lesbian kink--but DOES apparently include hetero kink--isn't really an appropriate person in the context of LESBIAN FICTION. That the comments bemoan the lack of bisexual characters bears this out.
For a second year, ignoring major publishers of lesbian fiction written by lesbians, this so-called "lesbian fiction" event is featuring non-lesbian writers and is focused on f/f and not lesbian fiction. Even more frustrating, many of the participants are members of the GLBT RWA chapter. Sigh.
