I wanted to ask this in Next Big Thing, but I thought it might derail it.
And it might get more benefit here as it pertains specifically to the topic of personal expression and gender identity in lit.
How does one strike this tender balance between making the topic important, and not having it be more than wallpaper?
The question mostly pertain to speculative fiction. As contemporary fiction (and Multiverse Contemporary, if your a bit odd like myself) is plotted a little differently. As someone going into full on science fiction and fantasy, I'd especially love to know your thoughts.
I hope that question makes sense, I haven't had my coffee this morning -- so if its not clear, I'll correct it.XD
