If so, discuss them.
I make sure to have bisexual, transgender and non-binary characters in my stories as well as other diverse groups such as Native American and Asian characters and People of Colour. This is important for me because I ended up in grydscaen writing the books and the characters that were diverse that I could not find freshman year in college. I guess I filled in the gap I saw in books while I was in college and exploring my own gender identity and sexuality.
I am Black and Native American and Japanese, there were no characters like that in books that I could find in college. Now I am actually writing my yaoi story with the amateur manga artist Noiz who is Native American and Japanese. I want to make sure young people can find themselves in literature and in order to do that I showcase diversity. Lets talk about Naito Sennish the bisexual character in the grydscaen story.
He is driven by beauty and personality. His personality is big and he is egotistical. He came from a privileged upbringing in the utopian City and gave it all up and abandoned his home, his trust fund and his family and friends to become a cyber terrorist in the slum-level Echelons and fight against the government.
What drives him is his idea of right and wrong. He has a black and white view.
He is right and the government is oppressive and wrong. Citizens in the City are wrong. The underprivileged in the Echelons who are being oppressed and manipulated by propaganda on the newsfeed are right. His black and white world is what drives him. You are either with him or you are not. His sexuality is also like that. Naito is bisexual and he is who he is. I have tried and if I do he writes me into a corner and I have to pull him out of there or otherwise he and the story do not cooperate.
The hardest part of writing this book for me was getting all the locations in the story in the right place, grydscaen: I needed to create two maps for grydscaen a subway map of the City, the Echelons and the Zone and a world map when the battles start between the Atlantea Federation and the insurgent Pacific Territories.
The locations on the subway map were mentioned in the grydscaen: The subway map was pretty easy to conceptualize, but the world map, I had to move locations more than once on that final map to get everything where it needed to be. In the grydscaen subway map, it takes a hint from the New York City subway and streets in Soho, as well as the Tokyo subway.
Also I am a pantser so sometimes the plot in the rough draft veers off which has to then get tamed in edits. That can be frustrating because a rewrite of something in the middle can change the dynamic of the ending and that can end up changing the whole story. I had to actually move streets in the Echelons on the map to get the visual to match the story. Natsuya Uesugi has a new queer sci fi book out:. Faid Callen is tired of life on the run in the Echelons trying to keep his psychic power in check.

With Faid and Riuho using the Packrat cyberterrorist hackers to attack the government even as the Atlantea Federation increased the threat trying to destroy the remains of the Pacific Territories and their allies, the war took a dire turn. Lino and his Psi Faction team were roped into global diplomacy, inter-colony politics, covert missions, battleship scurmishes, jet fighter sorties, and space battles facing the Atlantea Federation head on.
When Riuho once more entered the fray, his high stakes game of manipulation and lies threatened to destroy everything for which Lino had worked.

We are giving him to Dr. She sold him and was paid a hefty sum and given a cit card. The child has very high psi potential. We would have requested him if she had not offered. There was a maintenance crew in the hall. They were fixing up a room in the back of the Controlling Chambers to make a day care center, a playroom. It was to ensure there was some age appropriate place for the child to be kept during the day. Ren was in the Controlling Chamber area when they got there.

The book does need a clean up, but as it is only the introduction to the series, I do want to know more about the world and what happens to the characters. So far, I am mostly rooting for the Packrats.
Although not perfect and clearly the criminal organization in this universe, they are the most human. All the Psi Faction seems to be doing is torture those with psi abilities, kidnap new test subjects. The citizens in the city proper are even worse, highly homophobic and showing complete hate towards any form of psi power. As far as dystopian worlds go, this is as dark as it gets.
