Okay, middle aged white male writer. Don't like teenage sex, wasn't good at teenage sex, don't have teenage sex in my stories. Guilty of beautiful people, not always rich. However, my works are a bit all over the place. I've written a lot of one shot stories, most retelling of well known fairy tales however they have new wrinkles if you wish. My characters are gay. You won't find a beautiful maiden waiting for her Prince Charming in my version of Sleeping Beauty. Hell, the prince doesn't want a damn thing to with the rescue in the first place. Accidents Happen is 31 chapters long, deals with Charlie and his family and relationships. Charlie is bisexual, his older lover is gay, and his ex is a woman. Sex happens off screen per say.
I've read stories of sweet romances, teenage angst, the modern family, science fiction, fantasy, and more here on GA. I think some of it was wonderful, some okay, and some well you read their work and you see they improve chapter by chapter and story by story. It is really up to you. I agree with the idea the story should capture you in the first paragraph. If you aren't hooked, don't bother to continue. I do that with books in the store as well. You find what attracts you and go for it. Occasionally you find a dud, but by and far you will discover much to be admired on any site you choose to look at.
I wish you the best in your hunt.
