Story Idea

Okay...I know this site is suppose to be about gay males but i want to reach out further with my next story and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of reactions i would get with a non sexual lesbian story?

write what you want to... people will read it or they won't... you need to examine the reason why you are writing... for people to read? self gratification? because you want to? why?

 

then take that and apply it to what you write -- if you want people to read then you need to find out what people like and write that with little deviation. if you write for gratification -- well you figure that one out. if you write because you want to -- then what does it matter?

I don't see a problem. I've written several short stories that are not gay-themed and they are hosted by gay sites without any questions. Of course it helps being an established author. However, the ultimate decider is usually if it is a good story. The nature of the content aren't as important (within limits and your story is staying well clear of those).

 

In my opinion -- go for it!

GA is hosting a new site for G(Lesbian)BT stories. Post it there. Also, if it helps, I was talking to a net-pal recently and she is of the opinion that most lesbian stories on the internet are written by straight men who don

Well the main theme of the story isnt about lesbians...it's more about two girls that have really tragic bad lives and help eachother escape from it really more of a friendship kind of like the thelma and louise relationship but a completely different plot

I'd say you'll get readers for a story regardless of the theme. Develop your characters so they are attractive to the readers. If you like these female characters and want to have live in your mind's little theater, it should turn out OK. Flesh them out with habits, mannerisms, phrases... Then focus on scenes. Don't rush into the action as much as you did in The Escape, but think of grabbing the reader by laying out coherent, personal scenes that follow the plot, even if basic.
