It sounds like from this article that we will all be together this year? <br /><br />I guess I'm wondering though why break it up in the future or at all? Why not make a Writers Against Homophobia and Transphobia Hop? Or if you want to keep it in the romance writers community Romance Writers Against Homophobia and Transphobia Hop. Why so many separate hops? Not only does it seem more work to break it up like that but I also think since we are talking about homophobia and transphobia it would be important for people to be reading blog entries about and mingling with the full spectrum from writers who write about the full spectrum rather then all the m/m writers clustering together or the lesbian romance writers clustering together. <br /><br />I'm sure many people who may read m/m romance and have a pretty good handle on how homophobia affects gay men may not be as aware of how homophobia and transphobia affects lesbian trans* women, say. If it was all one hop then writers who write about lesbian trans* women would be linked from the same place as authors who write m/m romance. So readers who might stick only to m/m romance, or fantasy, say, could hop along to all sorts of blogs and possibly learn some new stuff. Plus they might be able to pick up a pretty sweet book about a lesbian trans* women or donate to an awesome nonprofit.<br /><br />Maybe a bigger hop would mean more work to organize? But I'm not thinking would actually need more volunteers then meany smaller hops would.<br /><br />So yeah my vote would be keep it as one hop in the future. <br /> E.E.
