I see a lot of people railing against the inclusion of Quiltbag folks (and POC and women and disabled people and anyone else, really) unless it is 'relevant to the plot'.
I don't understand it. Straight white characters never have to justify their existence in the plot.
I hereby promise that I will shoehorn in as many unjustified QUILTBAG and POC characters as I can possibly get away with. No straight white guys unless they are necessary to the plot .
My stories aren't really quiltbag stories. They are stories about QUILTBAG people. We have adventures outside of our 'other' status.
