Great answer! I appreciate the verbosity of your reply.

Gotta admit to an ulterior motive: I wrote a novel (sci-fi) with a disabled protagonist. I also went down the rabbit-hole of research, and one of those avenues led me here. You're right about disabled protags being rare. Based on one comment I heard from a publishing industry insider, I suspect they think, "Wheelchair-user? Oh, well then, there can't be much action or suspense." Which is really too bad, since they're wrong. My disabled character ends up using a speedy hoverchair for much of the novel.

Oh, I think you'll have much less of an issue with SF. Plenty of precedent for protags with disabilities there. Not always done well, but certainly present! :)

Totally love your unconventional. I call out real romance rather than bury your head in the sand romance. Please don't change. I need to read more of your people.
