Vague possibility (though unlikely) - he will have romantic relationships that do not lead to sex. The negotiation of a deliberately sexless relationship could be interesting, particularly with the less-frequent portrayal of a man who wants romance but not sex.

I’m not ace, but the biggest things I hear about are simple non-understanding on the part of others that you don’t really want to have sex (or maybe aren’t even interested in romantic relationships).
Huge amounts of sex are portrayed everywhere, and as a high schooler or university student, a lot of non-academic life…

That’s about what I was thinking. My wording was “caramel-flavoured lava”.

2016: “Is this a joke?”

I was expecting kittens.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but your B5 focus made it worthwhile. What about the new question, though? Where are you going?

Don’t tell letters what they can and can’t say! *organises protest*

Not to mention Avatar’s Tales of Ba Sing Se (which has its own ups and downs).

This isn’t just a good idea, it’s a tradition going back into at least renaissance theatre, if not Roman.

Connie Willis *and* Liu Cixin next month? I must slot them into my Mount To-Be-Read pile pretty high up.

I swear I’ve seen no publicity for this in Australia. Such a pity, because this looks fantastic!

Any versions available outside the US, for us plebs?

I’m sad to see no Hercules. I’ve been really enjoying it (and not just for the eye candy), and it was about the only thing from Marvel on my pull list.

I’ve read the Dark Forest. It’s very different to Three Body Problem, and I think I liked it more (though I think I liked Ken Liu’s translation style better). I’m hanging out anxiously for the translation of Death’s End, because my Chinese isn’t good enough for reading novels (especially those with complex timelines…
