I wanna write Karla, Black Jewels fic. There's something about the concept of exploring a lesbian - canon, mind - stuck in a society that is not male dominated, but so terribly much based on the interaction and roles of the sexes that I think it would be fascinating to explore her life and the way that she dealt with being a powerful, non-traditional figure in that kind of society with very strictly ordered roles.
I wish that Anne Bishop had explored that a little bit more, since she explicitly stated that Karla was gay - or "doesn't like men that way". It's not like this is an assumption on my part. It is mentioned that Karla formed some sort of non-traditional family with a child and her master of the guard but as far as I know that's not elaborated on unless it's in a short story that I haven't read. And I think I have read them all. But I'd be curious to see how Karla dealt with that aspect of her life.
It's complicated and I LIKE that.
