This is a subject that resonates with me, for the same reasons William and Pat bring up – I too have written straight fiction, from male and female pov, and f/f fiction, as well m/m, and just about every variation you can think of. I think it’s just called good writing (yes, okay, I dislocated my shoulder with that pat on the back) Yes, it can be done badly; anything can. But then, we don’t sit down to see if we can write something badly. For me – and I suspect for all of us at MLR – it’s just a question of getting into the heads of the characters.

Fascinating, in that your subject always manages to catch my attention, probably because I was writing f/f erotica, way back when, graduated to m/f in Harlequins, and was continually asked how I could possibly get into the heads of women accurately to portray how they think and feel, not only in sex but otherwise.

I’m always surprised that some people still can’t seem to believe that women can successfully write from the standpoint of men, and vice versa. I think there’s enough verifiable proof out there (you and I included) to prove it can be done.

Very well said, Pat. I think a lot of us gals in the business get that very same question over and over again.
