Sex and Science Fiction
Apr. 10th, 2011 07:22 ammelannen wrote an interesting post about systems of marriage/romance that only exist in science fiction. She touches on Diane Duane's Tale of the Five, Robert A. Heinlein's weird line-marriage thing, Ursula K. LeGuin's short stories, and of course, the Homestuck trolls. Among others.
Caveat: As melannen admits to not actually reading Homestuck she rather badly borks the explanation of Auspisticeship, but this comment corrects a lot of that.
And, as usual, every explanation of complicated romantic relationships in alien species can only be improved with the addition of My Little Pony.
