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.

I don't have good links, but Aliette de Boddard has written some good pieces:

http://thebooksmugglers.com/2013/05/sff-in-conversation-aliette-de-bodard.html

and she also tweets or posts about other people's good pieces.

I also recall some smart pieces by Juliette Wade on language but don't have the links any longer...

Thank you! I'd seen the first of these, but not the second.

I'll look for Juliette Wade.
