Hectic Heterosexuals

Never before have I been stuck in a rut like this.

After over four years of writing nothing but slash, I've decided to write good ole-fashioned het. And I've decided to use my gay,slutty, bottom-boy, Zeke as the star. None of my friends get why I would randomly change the sexual preference of one of my oldest characters for the sake of challenging myself.

But it's definitely not permanent. Hell, since I can't even get past the foreplay I doubt it'll even be finished. But I think it came to me while I was in my ENC1102 class on Thursday (or was it in my Art Appreciation class on Wednesday?) I don't remember. But the idea was notable because for the first time, I had managed to create a female character that's in touch with her sexuality, not above using it to get what she wants, and able to rationalize.

Yeah...that doesn't sound like much but to my friends, to people that are used to reading about Natalee, Izzie, and Sade, Ame comes off like a breath a of fresh air.

I'll explain.

Natalee- Zeke's oldest sister. Natalee is the head of her own Yakuza gang. She's cold, deadly, and decidedly insane. Her great idea to keep her baby brother from hooking up with his best friend Yuki was to sell him. She's even cruel to her husband Koyu. She shot him in the leg on their first date. And did I mention that she's crazy?

Izzie-Izzie is hard to define. She has a lot of sex but she hates herself every single time. I don't actually like her very much but I'm taking steps to reinvent her into a huntress. I really don't like Izzie, probably because I based her off of myself.

Sade- Another violent, insane character. Sade is a power-top with dreams of world domination. She was created to be the yin to Izzie's yang. She's a fiery, red haired, Russian with anger problems and a really big whip. Sade is a lost cause, she once beat Izzie so badly in a fight that I had to pull a crossover and have Natalee down her with a tranquilizer.

In comparison, Ame was designed with men in mind: What they want. What they like to see.

She's sweet yet bold, unashamed to flaunt her sexuality. She also understands the concept of the 'one-night stand' better than any of my male characters. (More on this when I finish writing.)

But anyways, the main reason for making Zeke heterosexual for the moment is to move along the canon of my universe. So it's not the best reason to create a character and mess with the natural order, but it's the best that I've got.
