Boot me up and let me play in

(And now, a rare non-housing query.)

Hey, my friendlist! Can you point me toward especially good articles on writing a diversity of characters that are not from one's own sexual/social/cultural background? I am trying to aggregate links for people who are working in this direction.

derspatchel gave me this song. It's a horrible earworm. I realize that may not be fair payment for you linking me helpful things. Have this comic, too.

If any of that seems particularly like or unlike what you're looking for, point me in a direction and I might be able to dig up more.

These are very much the sort of links I was looking for; thank you! Both derspatchel and I have been making a lot of these points in conversation, but it helps to have supporting literature (and also a lot of points we didn't make).

[edit] I knew of Writing the Other, but I think now I would like to encourage this group to purchase a copy; it looks practical as well as thoughtful and well-argued.
