| dc.description.abstract | Over the course of three semesters, I focused on the representation of LGBTQIA+ identities, focusing on relationships and sexuality in the realm of fiction. I wrote and revised nine short stories, three each in the genres of Fantasy, Science, and Realistic fiction. Science Fiction is the only genre whose stories relate to each other, the other six have nothing in common on the surface. I read novels from each genre and used two craft books on narrative and writing suspense to guide me as I wrote. After the completion of each story, I wrote a reflective essay that discussed what techniques I used and the writing and revision process for each story. | |
