Honestly I think one of the biggest reasons I wouldn't want to try and publish through like a Company or whatever is because my series is so unabashedly Queer and I don't want any forces to try and tell me to "dial it back" or "make it less obvious" or whatever

#Jean mumbles #Celestial Stones is going to take me YEARS to finish #I know this and have accepted it #But whenever I do finish it - I want it to remain as true to the characters and my visions as possible you know?#And that just so happens to involve a lot of queer stuff #One of the characters is aroace and it puts tension one a blooming friendship of his #One of the characters has moments of flustered gayness because dammit why do they have to be so CUTE #1-2 of the cast characters uses neopronouns #All of them have some gender fuckery going on #And that's because that's how the characters are #I don't want to risk the messiness of their queerness being sanitized or tidied up in any way possible #There probably are some companies out there who are fine with that stuff #But if I ever was given an editor who then tried to dictate how I should portray my queer characters #''For the sake of any unprepared readers'' or whatever #I'd be like no <33 #Like we live in a world right now where so many queer shows are being cancelled for being ''too challenging'' or whatever #I'm not going to spend all this time writing five books in a fantasy world with furries and what not just to be told #That one of the characters being a ''bi lesbian'' is too controversial or whatever #I'm just rambling but if you made it this far thanks :}
