I know everyone’s always fussing about whether or not authors read, how they read, etc. it’s very important, but here’s the part not being said out loud. We all take breaks from reading and read differently throughout our lives. You can start again any day, and a break won’t make you bad.

Exactly! Plus, I get fatigued from looking at words all day long. A lot of time the last thing I wanna do is look at more words when I'm done writing for the night. I am trying to plan a staycation where I don't write and only read, but even that depends on mood.

This is also banning writing transgender characters!! Not only would erotic romance authors in Michigan be banned from publishing our work, but we would not be able to include transgender characters in our work.

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

When wlw write it as a lesbian dynamic, it tends to be about the character's emotional distance and building a connection as part of the lesbian romance. That's a compelling story arc/character arc that can indeed be relatable. But the politics are very different to the original trope. 5/6

I think this is a case of sapphic romance using an existing well-established romance archetype because those kinds of archetypes are part of the genre of romance. And romance is a genre largely shaped by the production of heterosexual media, which is the media that defined the Ice Queen. 2/x
