Some of us were writers (and readers) of “mainstream” sci fi or fantasy or paranormal (or all three) and then found LGBT genre fiction later. So we all come in expecting different things.

Ana's Spoons

Welcome to the second monthly celebration of F/F fiction! F/F, by the way, stands for Female/Female (not Fan Fiction) pairings that may or may not be romantic. We’ve had two days of free-for-all F/F promotions, but today I’d like to kindly ask you to refrain from promoting your own books, friend’s books, publisher, or other services.
