It’s hard, when you’re a kid and you cannot relate to romance. It’s hard to read something and not understand the sexual pull, or the desire to be with someone else, it’s hard not being able to find someone like you in a book, especially when there are vampires, and wizards, ghosts, and angels, how can there not be asexuals?
My name is Finlay Harper, I’m 20 years of age and am based in Liverpool, UK. I am also asexual. I didn’t really begin writing until a friend of mine R.J. Seeley asked me if I wanted to take part in a book, and I did, I’d been looking for a good excuse to write, and now I’d been handed one on a plate, and taking part in writing Basorexia: The Overwhelming Desire to Kiss gave me such a boost, that I just couldn’t stop.
I wanted to create characters, I wanted to write love stories, and most of all I wanted to make them asexual. I wanted to write homoromantics, heteroromantics, aromantics, I wanted to write asexual in relationships with sexuals, I wanted to write asexuals in relationships with other asexuals. I want to write every kind of asexual, in every kind of situation I can, I want to make asexual fiction BIG.
