Asexual Awareness Week Wrapup

ysabetwordsmithAsexual Awareness Week in 2011 ran October 23-29. As part of this, I posted four batches of material from various projects. My opening post gave an overview of the activity and its importance, and mentioned several of my ace characters with links to relevant material.
1) "Nonsexual Intimacies" is a 5-part nonfiction article about small and large ways people interact closely without necessarily involving sex/romance. This may offer insights on personal relationships, and it's also a handy reference for writers.

asexuality.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
2) Schrodinger's Heroes is an apocryphal television show about quantum physics and saving the world from hostile dimensions. (You'll find it helpful to browse the menu post, which introduces the show and its characters.) In the poem "The Alpha Vector," Alex (who often appears as ace in fanfic) and Ash (who is canonically ace) visit a dimension where asexuality is the norm. this poem originally appeared in The Wordsmith's Forge (on LiveJournal and on Dreamwidth) and inasexual_fandom.
3) Schrodinger's Heroes blends well with any other fandom, because it canonically warps reality and connects with other dimensions. "French Military Victories" crosses it with Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. Quinn's former master Jean-Claude wants to land his jet on the Teferact's airstrip; Quinn is reluctant and explains at length why this would be a horrible idea. This story originally appeared in The Wordsmith's Forge (on LiveJournal and on Dreamwidth) .
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
4) LOL_Heroes is a branch of Schrodinger's Heroes fanfic based on LOLcats humor. Several batches of images present Alex's cat Schrodinger (canonically ace, being a neutered male), the white alter evil!Schrodinger, and various other characters in asexual configurations. These images originally appeared in The Wordsmith's Forge on LiveJournal.

>> and have sent a link to an asexual friend who, at age 26, is having trouble figuring out how to deal with her relationships. I'm hoping it will help.<<
I hope so too. I've seen a lot of discussion about asexual relationships, or ace/sexual relationships. I'm thinking some kind of discussion or guide to that might be handy.

>> I'll need to read your prior project posts now.<<
Use the wrapup post to start with. I also recommend the menu post for Schrodinger's Heroes:
http://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/1752525.html
It's about an apocryphal TV show that is ace-friendly, and a substantial portion of the material I've posted deals with that topic.
>> And look up the discussions about being in a relationship, since my husband is often confused and hurt by my lack of interest.<<
I think those conversations have popped up in various forms on all of the asexual communities I've read. It seems to be a very common challenge. I may write more about this eventually.
