I am so clever.

From a post to a writer's mailing list I'm on, where another writer was concerned that a homosexual character in her work would make it unpublishable:

"Homoeroticism is the new black."

tanaise replies, "I think I prefer homoneurotic."

Which would be the new red. And since red is the new black, too, that's cool.

Actually, if you want to be really trendy, you can throw in some homosexual prostitution, or a rape. Then you too can be writing rentboy SF!

Reject from Would That It Were today: very close, but too far on the F side of the SF/F line. Data point.
