Elizabeth Bear: Hah! Also, Cheeirilaq's pronouns are it/its. :D

"I want to read some books about competence-porn queers instead of disaster queers," I think, writing another book about a lesbian trapped on a strange planet with the girl who dumped her, a pirate, a space marine, and a giant bug.

maybe the bug is a competent lesbian bug

The bug is very competent! It's Mantis Cop! Actually they're all quite competent, it's just that my protag is pretty mopy over her ex.

I (very sloppily) made him topical! Apologies to both you and Scott.

Hah! Also, Cheeirilaq's pronouns are it/its. :D

Ah. My apologies to Cheeirilaq along with reassurances that it won't happen again.

The Goodlaw thanks you! Gender is a fraught conversation when you're a giant mantid.

EB, you can always claim that you weren’t the one who put the ‘man’ in mantid
