Writers interested in building an audience might notice that we have a lot of sub-genres that don't have 10 entries yet. https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/genre-tag/

Our current posting plan has us back to Action/Adventure genres at the start of 2024.  ;)

Have read many or maybe even a majority of these stories but found a few I would like to check out.  I do love anything historical.  Mark Arbour's story, " Chronicles of an Acedemic Predator " was what originally brought me to this website.  

I will have to start trying to work through some of these other authors, of course, some are old friends so to speak.  A couple, dkstories and Mawgrin are of course gone way to soon.  

Looking forward to checking out some of the other stories posted here.
