"Eschewing moralistic connotations associated with LGBTQ lives, here, promiscuity unyokes binaries of sexuality and gender, while alluding to the intellectual pleasure and possible 'erotic charge' of intertextual engagement. By extension, queer/adaptation scholarship should stimulate similar responses; so, in an act of critical promiscuity I read, viewed, or re-experienced all of the material I could locate, seeking pleasure by matching my observations with those of the essayists."
