I think he was right.
But I can to resort to stilistic means of a postmodern, which uses elements of a literary legasy aspuzzles for creation of a new image.

So yeah, I can see it done with gay characters... But if you make it overl gay you will be greatly diminishing your reader audience
Mercedes Lackey (As Mr. Tinklers pointed out) didn't let on that this was a gay story until after you bout the book or started reading it. And the first book of the series was so well done and the story so 'good' most people who wouldn't read a 'gay novel' completed it and reached for the next in the series..
But I will try another way to resolve this situation in my own favor. Iâve made decision to resort to stilistic masquerade which will help to reduce gender unambiguity to intriguing ambivalence (as on paintings of Edward Burn-Jones) "She" not always means "She".
I want to put the reader in the ambiguous
contradictonary situation in which the reader risks to be lost in his own interperetations.
"It looks like ⦠but I am not sure"
I love story where the ambiguity flirts with reader's the imagination. The secret is always intrigues
Thanks!
