I think I know the discussion you are talking about, but couldn't tell you where it was.
And yes, I believe that LGBT and m/m are not the same thing. LGBT is written by or about LGBT people, while m/m is basically slash written for (mainly) straight women. Of course there is an overlap at the fringes, where both meet, but I consider it a minor thing. Please PM me, if you have more questions :) I missed to notice this one for ages. Sorry about that!

I'd probably go to Pern and try to impress a dragon.

Authors invent mysteries, they rarely live them. :)

That's difficult to answer, but if I only refer to literary characters, then my favourite couples are Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson and Helva & Niall. I guess these two couples have impressed the reader-me the most when I read them.

I adored it as a mental exercise when I read it ages ago. It's extreme in its assumptions and worldbuilding, but there's so much currently pointing towards her general notion being correct, that it's a bit frightening. That said, I didn't and still don't like the liberties she took with prose and style :).
If the question is whether or not I incorporated this in "George", then not really.

No, I haven't. I just looked at it though, review to follow.

Not inadvertantly, my characters are usually people I have planned and interacted with for a while in my head, before I put them on paper. Still, yes of course, where I have lived/live adds a dimension to how I describe characters or places.

Really the wrong person to ask. If you want to write, you need to write. Even if it's only a sentence or a word every day. That's all the "wisdom" I have.
Steelwhisper
I don't. I've yet to find a surefire method to counteract this. Most times I start reading instead.
Steelwhisper
A classical "what if" question on my part, a variant of an old theme which gets time and again written about, and I wondered about a solution a bit outside the ordinary.
Steelwhisper
I have the inverse problem. I can't stop the bunnies coming on. I'm surrounded by bunnies. In fact, don't you see? There are lots and lots and... wait, who are these men with white coats?
Steelwhisper
Finishing the last bit of "Third Watch", a historical m/m romance and a contemporary het dub-con erotica.
