ohhhhh I had forgotten how bad that quote is. Dear Naomi Novik: have you considered that LESBIANS would also fit your stated mission!!

tbh the degree to which she fails to write wlw either in fandom or in her published work is so blatant it is kind of upsetting. As far as I'm aware she has written all of one fic that involves sexual contact between two women, and it is entirely about a man and only occurs in one scene of a fairly long fic.
