I don't know how many of you remember that this comm exists or what we used to read on here. I was reading a lit discussion that cleolinda had posted this morning here . And it reminded me of the fun we had here trying to interpret that story. La, looking back on it, I so wish you all could have been in my English classes in school. We so would have gotten our asses expelled.

We are published authors who co-wrote a post-apocalyptic young adult novel. When we set out to find an agent for it, we expected to get some rejections. But we never expected to be offered representation… on the condition that we make a gay character straight, or cut... http://ontd-literature.livejournal.com/75350.html (Cached) Published: 4 months, 3 weeks ago (Sat, 24 Sep 2011 23:02:16 PDT) Post Pictures: Oh yeah, sundriesWoot, sundries! * Further update on that LBGT YA article I posted .

Gay in YA, and the Circle of SuckThere has recently been an online debate that has sprung up between an agency and two authors, discussing the issue of deleting a gay storyline in a book. I am not going to go deeply into it, though there is a great summary of it here , with further excellent points made here . This issue is a super-contentious one, likely to make anyone involved in the discussion indignant, angry, upset, liable... http://sarahtales.livejournal.com/189748.html (Cached) Published: 4 months, 3 weeks ago (Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:45:22 PDT) Post Pictures: Quick shotsHey everyone, hey hey hey, megaflare_ff story claiming for artists is open until Sunday 10/3!

If you want a truly thorough summation of the issue and the controversy surrounding it, read the post above. It's long, yes, but this is a complicated issue, and the author goes out of her way to include supporting material from both sides. A few points I think need emphasising... http://gwynraven.livejournal.com/1301964.html (Cached) Published: 4 months, 4 weeks ago (Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:29:27 PDT) Post Pictures: Another week's worth of news and opinions... - 11-18 September 02011We begin today with unique forms of art that have been appearing around in support of libraries, archives, and other public-funded items . From that point, two authors collaborated on a work. A major publishing house told them they would publish it - if they made the gay character straight or erased him altogether. This was not the only time they had received this request . So now they're asking... http://silveradept.livejournal.com/622039.html (Cached) Published: 4 months, 4 weeks ago (Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:28:17 PDT) Post Pictures:
