Popular Post Frankie Posted October 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hey! So, as a new member of GA, I'd very much LOVE help on deciding what to read. If anyone has opinions on anything, why don't you reply? I really just want to add on to my list of gay literature/stories, so help would be appreciated! Thanks! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CassieQ Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would also check out the anthologies, they have a range of stories written by different authors on the site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would also check out the anthologies, they have a range of stories written by different authors on the site. I use them sometimes to get a flavour of a particular author - then I can move onto something more substantial. To see the anthology listings go to Stories and then click on the Categories side bar and you can see the listings and the live links to each anthology. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenmale64 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi Frankie and welcome. All of the above are good selections. Unfortunately everyones taste is different, so what I like you might not find interesting. With that in mind I will list a few authors and stories I really like: Three hearts by Andrew Todd The CJ stories by Carlos Hazday The W.A.R. series by JKSquirrel Gemini by Sammy Blue The Knotts series by Uplifted Spirit Rules of the Road by Geron Kees Wolf Like Me by Dayne Mora There are so many more that trying to keep listing them is pointless. When I find a story I like I tend to follow that storie and author faithfully until I exhaust the offerings of that author. I also tend to lean toward 'Coming of Age' stories and stories with positave endings. It just lets me live the life I could not 30-40 years ago . Hope this helps populate your library. Best Wishes, R 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Espinosa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ooh! Everyone has offered such amazing recommendations that I'm hardpressed to add anything to it! Hmm... let's see: Timothy's Terrible Prompt Stories by Timothy M. 18 Weeks of Twoey by skinnydragon A to Z by Parker Owens Cards on the Table by Headstall Frankie, these are wonderful stories by wonderful authors.

Daddydavek Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I recommend going to the "stories" tab at the top left of the page and then looking at the left column and selecting "favorites". I personally recommend: Circumnavigation By C. James Anything by Mark Arbour https://www.gayauthors.org/author/mark-arbour The stories by Andrew Q.

I knew you'd find it Drew. I tried but to no avail. Edit: Okay, that's not what I was looking for so no wonder I could not find it. I thought there was another story recommendation thread. Ah well, guess not. Edited November 13, 2016 by Reader1810 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 13, 2016 Site Administrator Share Posted October 13, 2016 There are plenty of previous threads on story recommendations. Here are links to some of them.

Krista Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just dropping in to say, Welcome to GA. I'm sure you'll find plenty to read here, there are a lot of great stories and authors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 14, 2016 Site Administrator Share Posted October 14, 2016 What I've done in the past is to use the GA Stories Advanced Search function. I would pick a genre (typically Romance or Drama -- I'm a big softy at heart), then pick one or more tags that I like (eg. "college", "coming out", "coming of age", etc). I usually pick a status of "Complete" because I prefer to read stories once they've finished, but there are a lot of great stories that are still in the "In Process" status. After that, I browse the list of stories presented to see if the story description and other tags appeals. For example, I usually don't read a story with an "abuse" tag, though there have been exceptions when I know the author 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppilull Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 In addition to all the great recommendations already posted, I want to invite you into the amazing Metaverse! A story unlike anyone I've read before. https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/list/?filtertype_6=series&filtervalue_6=71d05a90c6ba1be00f7e2f99948b58a1 Also, check out Sasha Distan and metajinx, two authors I really like. My tastes are perhaps somewhat on the dark side, but I am a hopeless romantic, so it's not too gritty... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
