We Already Invented the Wheel. Where the Boys Aren’t – Part 1.

John Allenson

When I started thinking of the topic of women only societies I quickly realized that I perceived of two separate types of story under the same label of ‘Lesbian Utopia’.  While there is a LOT of overlap in the way people have written about societies where a group of women have separated from the mainstream mixed society, (Amazons,) and single-sex worlds I’ve decided to treat the two as separate topics. After all, it’s not as if we talk way too much about women.  I’ll talk about Warrior Women in a later article dedicated to her history.  There is enough information … Read more

For Writers: How to Reach Women Who Read FF Fiction

123rf Lesbians - Purchased

Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Michael Barnette: When I ran a publishing house and was trying to increase the available f/f and advertised the hell out of the need, we received no submissions.
