Diversity is needed in fiction. It's hard to tell a story when every character has the same PoV. But it need not be the gender/race/sexual orientation diversity that's constantly pushed. At least for me, the far more interesting diversity is one of morals, belief and goals. The best stories at least in my opinion, have some moral dilemma at the crux and you can't get that without some conflict.

Anyway, I'd love to read stories you publish, Lyn.
