Write Toward the Next Wave

I asked AI to research genre trends in popular reading, as well as age demographics and general male preferences, to recommend ways to write that capture more of the current zeitgeist without forgetting our current audience.  The AI is familiar with genre trends on Gay Authors as well as our sites declared genre preferences and age. So the advice is geared towards appealing to existing audience and new audience as a way to attract interest. As always, you can write what you want. But if you

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 5 - Jul. 11)

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so I apologize to our southerners. Yet this discussion is for all of you! I haven't yet gone camping this year, but my intentions are going to be gone for a few weekends here and there.  I am a roughing ii as a camper in the sense that I pitch a tent, set up a canopy over the picnic table, have a propane stove, have no running water, electricity or sewer. Yes, the local outhouse is my plumbing  You

July's CSR: Look Back at 2025's Secret Author!

That's right, to whet your whistle, so to speak, this month we're looking back at last year's submissions to the Secret Author contest! Authors maybe aren't sure how to incorporate a Secret/Forbidden topic into the story or just how tangential it can be, these stories could be the inspiration needed (you never know which new author may take up the mantle for the contest once they have a reference!) Readers, well... sometimes we all enjoy a 2nd, 3rd, or more look back at content from our favorite

Or are you still celebrating on Sunday AM when this is posted? 250 years is quite a long time, in North American terms. Also a happy belat

The boss man walked around in shorts and Birkenstocks. And don’t forget the guy in the loose linen shirt, wide-brimmed hat, and dark shades. All I say is… You Can Leave Your Hat On. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdwIKTLP_3Q Ehem… To the prompts. PT Prompt #348   Someone sits in a café off a crowded str

Wow, it's July 1st already?! There's a time warp somewhere, I swear. Or some sort of spell on my life at times, perhaps from a book of Forbidden Knowledge? Or each day I pass through the front door and enter a rift through which I lose time due to... well, who knows? What isn't forbidden is reminding all my site author friends that they need to get their themed stories to me ASAP if they want to participate in this year's fun!
