Affairs of M/Men

The author wrote virtually the same story twice, one as a heterosexual story and one as a gay story. Apparently she was talking with someone else and decided that emotion was emotion and it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight.

Well, I think that may be true up to a point, but how people express it, the way they actually feel those emotions do differ, not just by gay vs straight, but also by gender. When I read this, I thought it felt odd, like something was wrong and/or missing. Once I found out that it was a het story not even reworked but just pronouns and body parts changed, it made sense. Now I'm not sure it was that great a story to begin with. Casey is pretty pathetic and it was hard to get behind him but it wasn't the worst story I've ever read. It just wasn't up to the other story of hers, Entangled, that I read and really liked.
