Capture them and devour them.

or if I had imagined the characters shagging between the scenes.

Woe. ;__;

And, like always, there are alot missing because I.. read alot.

there are lots more, they're the ones that stand out at the moment though.

Storm Constantine is my favorite author. <3

She's a fantasy writer. Her books that I've read are quite sexual and she has no problem writing about homosexuality or incest. He worlds are beautiful and her characters amazing. I just love her. <3

Well, depending on how you're defining GLBT fiction here (which is something I've been meaning to ask) then you could certainly move China and Neil onto the first list. Neil for Wanda, Hazel, Foxglove, Desire, and countless more. And China on account of most of the guys in The Iron Council.

Yes, there is definitely a question of how to define it exactly..

But the slip there for me, is that I haven't yet read Iron Council or the works by Neil Gaiman with those characters yet. Working on it though!

I think LGBT literature is normally defined as literature with a main focus on lesbian, bisexual, gay or transexual characters, and also literature written by a LGBT author, though that means that often stuff they have written that doesn't have a focus on LGBT characters gets included.
