Anyways, one thing to look forward to about a Monday is seeing a new featured story - this time we get a review from Dark of Moment of Clarity, by Author Jason Rimbaud.

Featured Story: Vegas Sun

Everyone have good plans to ring out the old and ring in the new? I had a LOT of great times in 2012, and some not so great moments, but ending the year in a great mood after spending some real quality time with friends.   Speaking of friends, it was also really nice to read this review by Comicfan of Vegas Sun, an anthology story that Hosted Author (and total studmuffin) Shadowgod wrote. I hope you enjoy the review and the story!           Vegas Sun By Shadowgod

Featured Story: The Beard

The Beard by dkstories   Reviewed by: Trebs Word Count: 77, 013 Status: Complete   So many gay stories are based on tired storylines - the best friends agonizing over the other knowing their attraction while all around them can see they're in love, or the gay boy kicked out of home only to find the perfect family and boyfriend, or that most classic cliché of the hunky rich jock falling in love with the poor geek/nerd.   Once in a while - rarely though it happens - an author

Featured Story: Let's Make Love

As the gloomy last month of the year is upon us, let's fill our eyes and minds with a sense of the erotic. We're thankful to joann414 for her review of Author Mark92's Let's Make Love.
