The plot thickened.
I thought that's a turn up for the books
So I headed down to the library to see if they had a copy. The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn’t sure if it was there or not.
OK guys, got way bigger of a response than I typically did a long time ago. Unexpected and keep posting. I am closing the giveaway at this time so I can get to bed. Feel free to leave comments and possibly still get tipped. I just can't stay awake any longer LoL It's been a long week.
We'll Do another one soon,
Regards,

P.S. Edit: Thank you all for commenting! You've really shown how much the Dogecoin community has grown over the years and how big of a force it is to be reckoned with. I've had tip threads that would only garner 10's to a hundred people in the past. This outpouring of comments shows just what's happening. Sorry to anyone that didn't receive a tip beyond last night. I was CTRL+V mashing for about 1.5 hours last night. It about makes you delirious looking at usernames after a while, trying to remember if they've already left a top-level comment. It's crazy, I've not even had time to read through all the comments yet, especially with a busy holiday weekend and all. Needless to say, 99% of the energy in this thread was positive. Even the people that didn't get tipped. Thank you all for joining and keep an eye out for another tip thread. I wish you all a happy holiday season and new year!!!

I was browsing my local book store today and was pleasently surprised when I saw a shelf dedicated to lgbtq novels and YA novels.
Five years ago when I came out as a gay teen I read a ton of those coming-of-age novels. Even though I liked them at that time it anoyed me that they all seemed to be build around the same formula.
Gay teen falls in love with (seemingly) straight guy/jock. After some identity crisis and broken hearts they fall in love and are out and proud. Happy end.
Therefore, I haven’t read any lately. Today when I read the dust cover blurbs I was so surprised. There is so much more diversity! Gay, lesbian, trans-gender, non-binary, you-name-it characters. Not falling for straight cis people but living proud and being themselves. Many where just about something else and just happend to feature queer characters.
Did you notice a change in queer literaturs/novels, or did I miss all the good stuff? So happy for all the teens struggeling with their sexual identity, that are represented in books now and have more selection to choose from!
As the title suggests, I'm looking for your FAVORITE Sci-Fi novel that you've ever read. Sometimes, our favorite novels are not necessarily the BEST novels we've read, but instead are the ones that brought us the most enjoyment. With that being said, this is what I am seeking. If you're lucky enough that your favorite novel also happens to be the best one you've read in the genre, then great, list that! :) But if it happens to be something different, I'd love to know what your FAVORITE Sci-Fi novel is. Thanks in advance for the suggestions and adventures that await.
As title says. I am sick to death of the use of rape within novels simply as a plot device. In my opinion it is probably one of the most heinous acts that any person could commit yet there's a really disturbing trend of it just being thrown in to show how dark or mature a novel is. It's actually becoming cliche, which is something I shouldn't say but it's true.
The Outlander series is one of the worst examples of this.
This is not to say it can't be used ever but it is really getting overused by female and male writers alike. It makes me roll my eyes at how childish and immature these writers are, because 9/10 they're thinking that, "wow this is shocking" rather than actually considering the act itself in a respectful manner to real life victims.
Just had to get this off my chest. Is anybody noticing this trend and sick of it?
EDIT:
Thanks for rewards but assuming they're like Gold/Silver awards and you have to pay for them, you'd be better off supporting a sexual assault charity instead in your local area or country. Searching off Google here's one in my home country of the UK and one in the United States:

I'm not much of a planner. I just tend to write and let the story develop. I'm writing in first person perspective and took this afternoon to think about were the story is going. I now realize that the MC is going to be a bad guy.
I'm concerned as I have really enjoyed writing this so far and now I'm conflicted.
Anyone have any experience or advice as to the MC not being the 'hero who saves the world'? And might actually turn out to be a bad/evil person.
Not looking for the cheap romance thrills. I want a romance that is really well written. With interesting characters and a believable healthy, positive romantic relationship between them. The novel should be about how they start out as strangers or friends and then eventually fall in love.
So I head down to the library to see if they had a copy for my 10 year old daughter. The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn’t sure if it was there or not
