Seanan McGuire went on a very long, very excellent rant on Twitter this morning, and I felt it deserved to be organized.
why i adore seanan mcguire with every ounce of my heart. i shall provide her with a cookie the next time I see her.
It bothers me because my default when I write is male. And it’s probably at least in part because that is virtually all I grew up reading/watching/seeing. Off the top of my head just now I can think of at least a handful of male characters I love, but not one female comes to the front of my mind.
Sometimes if I wonder if that makes me a little broken.
