You plug in whatever variations you want (LGBT? BSDM?) and there you go. That stuff is relatively easy to write (but hard to write really well) and needs no research or in the field investigation ( a la say Murio Puzo's The Godfather )which is why the bulk of indie writers produce it . If you happen to hit on the right variation ( Fifty Shades of Grey) success is yours: if you flop, , you don't lose much except time spent to writing.

You must pick some really bad SF&F to read or be totally prejudiced as your descriptions don't correlate with the thousands of SF&F titles I have read over the past fifty years... whatever...
