	SF and Fantasy Alternate Sexuality Listing
	------------------------------------------

(All comments and critique welcome.  My mail ate a whole bunch of
stuff sent to me, so if something you recommended isn't here, that's
almost certainly why.  I'd appreciate any comments on the books
listed here, any additional books by these authors, regardless of
sexual content, and anything you may have forgotten or assumed
somebody else would recommend :-).  In addition, I'm also looking for
more non-positive renditions of alternate sexuality in fantasy...feel
free to send me SF too and I'll add it to the list even though I may
not use it for my paper.  Many, many thanks...I'm sorry I can't thank
you all personally.  I'll keep posting updated lists every couple of
weeks.)
