Arisia v Lunacon

[juldea]

Arisia's Writer Guest of Honor this year was Laura Anne Gilman, who writes young adult fiction, Buffyverse, Quantum Leap-verse, etc.

Lunacon's Writer Guest of Honor this year was Jacqueline Carey, who writes streamy fantasy/romance novels featuring heavy BDSM/kink plot elements.

Yet Arisia becomes the sex con, and Lunacon the literary con, in the minds of many. Interesting.

I think it's an injustice to consider her a "sex author".
Who considered her as such? Who denied the depth of her worlds, of the interesting approaches to history and religion and government that she uses? Because it wasn't me.
