I’ve just been adding the book ones for now , don’t know why that’s under time travel.

Ok
I just remembered the thread after the conversation about the FFfacebook thingie, and I recently read that one.

[eclipse]

Any new books to add?

[cupiscent]

Thanks for the reminder, Eclipse! Trawling my recent reads...

Amberlough, by Lara Elena Donnelly, call it Low Fantasy
Jade City, by Fonda Lee, prrrrobably call it Urban Fantasy
The Tiger's Daughter, by K Arsenault Rivera, Epic Fantasy

...sorry, I know I had the links to put these into the database myself, but I can't find 'em.

I hoped Amberlough would find it's way here. Reading it at present, really a very good book. Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Tremontaine has a number of LGBT characters, and one of the main protagonists in Jen Williams' The Ninth Rain is gay, as was one of her chief characters in the Copper Cat trilogy.

I don't mean to be self-serving, but I've got both a gay and a bi character (both major characters) in my series. What I'm saying is, it's not the unusual anymore, is it?

1 year old topic I'm not sure whether or not this topic is ended or still active, but Magic Moog from the Kings of the Wyld is married to Frederick, so we can add him to the list

Thanks!
@Eclipse (the original thread starter) is taking some time off, but I will try to update it when I have some more time.

I don't mind seeing old topics coming back alive again  new readers see them

This topic will just be a list of book's and authors recommended by Fantasy Faction members over the years as we now getting a lot of people asking for LGBT characters in their fantasy reads,please add to the list if you come across a good story featuring LGBT character's thank you.

I would recommend adding When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore to the list.

It falls into the category of "Magical Realism" (which I suppose is a subcategory of "Low Fantasy"). It could also fall under the "Young Adult" banner - given the protagonists ages. Either way, a unique read with a number of LGBT characters.

SPOILER POTENTIAL FOR "The Trouble With Peace" by Joe Abercrombie










Can add Jurand, Glaward and Leo dan Brock to this list (Leo is bi at the very least).

[Bender]

Mia Corvere in Nevernight Chronicles. Books also have a bit of smut segments if anyone is interested!

[S. K. Inkslinger]

Spoiler alert for Priest of Bones and Priest of Lies(some characters at least)

There's quite a lot in this book, although there aren't really emphasized.

Bloody Anne, Rosie, Cutter, Sir Eland, Jochan, and Major Brakrilove (not sure how to spell his name)

[ScarletBea]

I wonder if we need to change the way we present this list...

I'm not sure how to update it because I don't know in which category they fit. Should we just have Fantasy and SF as 2 categories, and let people then investigate further if they want to read them?
