what's the 'other' teams in sports, can you specify real quick

You'll even get M/M/F books recommended as 'sapphic' for some reason. Is it because the female character expresses any actual attraction to other women in the text? No, it's because the author tweeted out that she likes girls too.
comment in response to post
Often, insofar that anything F/F actually occurs (this is not a guarantee), the relationship will have the chemistry of two dead fish lying 500 meters apart. Everything is 'yearning' and 'longing looks' and that's about it.
comment in response to post
5) alternative to 3, there's a love triangle and the protagonist chooses the man but don't worry guys, SOOOOO sapphic!
comment in response to post
The above scene is the most sexual F/F thing in the book btw.
comment in response to post
The extent of prudery people subject F/F anything to that'd never be applied to M/F (and sometimes not even M/M)
comment in response to post
no they have to give yearning looks and nothing else :(
comment in response to post
Nvm she has no agent which does contribute to why her advances is dogshit-tier. 'We're not supposed to talk money so getting established Harlequin authors to give you details of advances is difficult' lol
comment in response to post
oh right yeah lol, an agent might be able to move it to 8-10k
comment in response to post
Oh sorry she earns $5,100 since 15% goes to her agent (I assume she has one)
comment in response to post
So going by what this author's saying, she sells about 20,000 copies of a title, and from that she earns a whopping $6000. This is fucking miserable dude.
comment in response to post
$5000 advance is small press shit but this is Harlequin
comment in response to post
omg it's so cute
comment in response to post
Unlike the mainstream one it's trans.
comment in response to post
lmaooo
comment in response to post
yeah for once, though there's a bit of m/f thrown in
comment in response to post
Time to read an actually unhinged space horror book.
comment in response to post
yeah though virtually none of the romantic/sexual chemistry in this book works I think, m/f or f/f, just all very flop
comment in response to post
One POV killing another is very 'eh?' when 2 scenes later she's randomly resurrected.

The cannibalism doesn't hit much when nobody we know very well is getting eaten, pretty much everyone turned into a meal is just some rando with no speaking lines, and the king who's godawful anyway. You know? For cannibalism to be horrifying it has to happen to characters you gives a shit for
