Standard Media Request Screening Questions: Fiction

The community is largely represented by, but not composed of, white, romantically straight, cis, able bodied, monogamous, conventionally attractive introverted, sex-repulsed people. AKA a narrative as close to the societal ideal, but there's just this one thing different (read as wrong) about us. This is often justified by saying they don't want the story to get too complicated. 

Not wanting to have sex is often the butt of jokes in comedies, and usually people making fiction do not have asexual people involved in all parts of the storytelling, if any.

With that being our baseline of what to expect:

Do you have asexual and/or aromantic people giving input on each aspect of the storytelling and production in general? 

 Do you have any visual representation of people of color? 

 Does the asexual and/or aromantic character have a storyline besides just coming to terms with being asexual and/or aromantic? Aka is the storyline about coming to terms with being asexual and/or aromantic vs. a person who happens to be asexual and/or aromantic? 

 Does the asexual and/or aromantic character meet another asexual and/or aromantic person? Do they have a conversation about something besides being asexual and/or aromantic?

Is the audience supposed to laugh at the asexual and/or aromantic person not wanting sex or romance? In general is the audience supposed to laugh at parts of the asexual or aromantic character’s identity, including identity beyond ace/aro?

Is there any interaction with the queer community? 

Is there any canon representation of trans, and/or non-binary/agender/genderqueer people? 

If anyone dies, is the character a trans, non-binary, queer, disabled, or person of color? If there are good and evil characters, the same question goes for if the above mentioned in regards to team evil.

We’ve seen what it can do to a community when having any representation is good representation and we’d prefer not to throw  everyone else under the bus. Meaning, not about us without us, and the not just the poster children.
