*DISGUSTED*

Romantic Times have denied the application for a M/M discussion panel.

Obviously MEN don't have the right to be romantic. I bet if Sarah Waters was a guest speaker they'd allow her to talk.

I'm furious. I'm going to email www.romentics.com and have a moan.

ETA: GO HERE AND VOTE FOR M/M romance being a Big Turn On.

grrr.

And I had prejudice entering a historical writers critique group recently because of my subject matter, when the best (imo) historical writers have already dealt with it far better than I can do, O'Neill, Renault, Plaidy, etc etc.

I think it's a knee jerk reaction; or maybe they missed the hugely slashy subtext in a lot of the older romances? Heyer, for instance?
