Favorite stories:
"Monster Girls Don't Cry" by A. Merc Rustad: 4 stars - Two monster sisters. One sister doesn't hide her monstress abilities and looks while the other cuts her horns and wings to try to pass as a normal human. A story about accepting yourself for who you are. LGBT+ and feminist ideas included

"The Thule Stowaway" by Marie Dahvana Headley: 4 stars - A ghost is inside a woman and the entire story is connected to Edgar Allan Poe. Really well written.

other good stories:
"Bodies Stacked Like Firewood" by Sam J. Miller - 3 stars LGBT+ characters
"Some Cupids Kill With Arrows" by Tansy Rayner Roberts - 3 stars

I disliked the Anne Leckie and Cassandra Khaw stories.

Favorite essays:
"Why You Should Read Romance" by Natalie Luhrs - Made me realize I should try some really well-written romance sometime.
"I Have Never Not Been an Object" by Delilah S. Dawson - Dawson defends having rape scenes in her books because of the ordeal she went through herself.
