The authors have a delicate balance to strike. The plot-what-plot? trope works well in fanfiction because the characters are so well established that it’s easy to get to the hot steamy sex. This anthology needs to establish character so they can get down to business. I think this is mostly done well. As someone who is on the wrong side of 40 I really enjoyed the protagonists finding love later in life.

Representation: Older characters, many queer and trans, multiple BIPOC

Rating: 4.5/5 This collection centers all older people, silver foxes and grande dames. I really loved this, because it’s rare to see representation of older characters in sexy situations, especially in drawn form. Just like the previous, this is very queer and trans, very diverse set of characters. This also touches on a lot of different genres - sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, etc. I just wish the older people were more on the *older* end, because some of them looked like they were late 30s, but the anthology does say it’s 40 and older, so there’s that. I think there should have been more disabled representation, just because we always need more, but also because the older you get, the more likely there will be disability present. But overall, I really enjoyed this anthology. I particularly enjoyed The Chore, Romancing the Reverend, and Wet Dog.
