FOR READERS: Aces High

Asexual Ace Flag

FOR READERS

Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer K.S. Madden:

After reading a lot of the recent responses, I’d love to see you do a question post sometime about the surge in interest in seeing more asexual characters.

I was at Readercon in Boston a few months ago and there was a panel there as well stating the need for more asexual protagonists in mainstream scifi/fantasy.

I’m curious what people want to see. Asexual characters in romantic relationships? Or asexual characters just having adventures and being free of relationships?

Or is this partly a desire to see more friendship fic, people relating deeply on other levels that aren’t usually explored because romance is so often at the forefront of what sells?
