i get a lot of asks about making large masterlists for literature and truthfully i couldn’t even begin to tackle something so comprehensive, so here are some lists that i’ve found!
Me: It’s a freeing experience to learn that the books you liked as a child aren’t “bad” or “cringey” and that if you still enjoy them you should be free to do so.
Y’all clowns: Oh yeah! Like when I was a kid I really loved Twilight, and looking back it’s really good and woke and also is really gay!
“we give ao3 ludicrous amounts of money because its the only place queer people can get queer content (((^: you homophobes (((^:” yall know that there are actual lgbt authors out there publishing books of all genres with lgbt characters right? yall know that they could use your support and patronage to continue creating these works??? cause if you dont know, im telling you.
and if you want to support your favorite lgbt fanfiction authors — do it directly! many of them have a ko-fi, some a patron, and even if they don’t you can just ask them if they want to start accepting donations because you want to support them! if you want to read a specific kind of fanfiction that you can’t find anywhere, commission one of your favorite writers! you will get something written for you, and you will support someone who actually makes lgbt content! the authors get nothing from ao3 anyways, so support them directly if that’s what you care about!

Remember to look outside the mainstream presses. Don’t shut queer publishers out of queer lit.”]
Here’s a bunch of Goodreads lists that might help!
