    Epilogue

    I think I agree with most guys here in that you left us wanting more! After reading the story I have an entirely new appreciation for dolphins that I never even knew existed The wolves are still my favorite, though!
  2. The last chapter to my story Winterblade has been submitted, and I thought it would be good to open a discussion topic in case anyone is interested in reading it. The story is a mixture of fantasy, science fiction and erotica with two male protagonists. It deals with the conflict that arises when warriors of opposing armies get to know each other not only as the enemy, but as people being worthy of respect or even love. Any questions are welcome, and feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Read it here: https://www.gayauthors.org/story/albertnothlit/winterblade
  3. It was five weeks before Alec could slip away from the main forward camp, unseen in the middle of the night. He took very few things with him: his sword, his first-aid kit set, his bow and quiver, some food. His medal he left in his bunker, along with the ornately wrought dagger with which he had been presented at the ceremony of promotion. It marked him as a sub-Captain and a war hero, but he didn’t want it. He was never coming back. As he slipped out, Alec kept wrestling with the hope that Dr
  4. That was very informative, thanks A.J.!

    Chapter 5

    Thanks! I'm editing the final chapter now, which will hopefully answer many questions It should be up in a few days!
  6. Just started with this story, and I'm liking the characterization of the relationship between Vasili and Mahi in particular. It's a very interesting take on the relationships people make when constrained by societal expectations, and you don't need to be the Alpha of a community to find yourself loving another man, yet married to a woman. It has happened before and it will happen again.

    Chapter 1

    This is a very emotional story and I don't think anyone who reads will be able to remain unmoved. Me included. Love your work, Cynus.
  8. This was quite an unexpected read! The narrative is smooth and flows along with the youth of the characters, and that ending had me grinning. Will there be a follow-up?

    Thanks for the review! The final chapter will tie everything together, so I must... refrain... from giving spoilers... lol

    Chapter 5

    Yup, deception exposed! Glad you liked the implant idea
  12. I'll be sure to step by their website, thanks!
  13. Loved the ending! Furball is my new favorite word of the day, lol. I also enjoyed how you're able to tackle tough subjects like discrimination in the academic world while still giving the characters chances to be funny and just enjoy the world. On to your next story I go!

    Chapter 5

    The next morning dawned much colder, with the first hint of frost in the air. Drake opened his eyes slowly and saw Alec was still asleep resting on his left side, breathing peacefully next to him. It was warm under the heavy cloak that covered them both, and Drake felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable, even sleeping over the grass as he had. He felt tempted to just roll over on his other side and fall back asleep, but instead he inched closer to Alec and put his right arm around him as he slep

    Chapter 4

    Hey Carlos, thank you for all the reviews! I truly appreciate your feedback, it shows you care and it made my day. As for the power transfer, I'm afraid it wouldn't work since Hunter abilities are part of their genetic makeup. It's a cool idea, though!-Albert

    Chapter 1

    Just done with Chapter 1 and I'm really liking the story. I love the humor that shines through the fast-paced narrative, and that guy-next-door vibe I get from the main character. I will definitely keep going!

    Chapter 4

    They ate the entire fish between the two of them. Drake wished something stronger than water to go with it, but he made do. Alec didn’t ask him about the fight, but he did offer to cook the fish in Drake’s place. Drake was glad he accepted the offer—Alec knew how to season the fish with some wild herbs he found and it tasted much better than anything Drake could have ever cooked on his own. Afterwards, Drake watched as Alec set up the metal framework for his arm support structure. He used some
  19. I'm glad I discovered this story. I really like the way it's set up at the beginning, and the easy inner monologue of the narrative made me relate to the character right away. I found myself rooting for him already after the first couple of paragraphs. Great read!
  20. Hello everyone! I've been a member for a little more than a week, and already I am finding lots of interesting content that I never even knew existed. I'm glad to meet you all, and I look forward to reading at least a little portion of so many stories!
  21. I agree completely. There is this misconception that if a work of fiction is gay-oriented then it must have sex as a major plot element and that is not necessarily true. I think it will take some time still before fiction featuring gay protagonists is viewed under the same light as fiction with straight characters. I like to think progress is being made, though. If only a little at a time.
  22. So many cool suggestions - thank you all! It'll take some time to read through it, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun.
  23. Very suspenseful! Can't wait for more.
  24. Hi all, I've recently joined GA and so far I'm loving the community. I have a question that I think might spark some interesting discussion: I've had success in the past in selling stories to publishing houses that specialize in gay-friendly content, but I have tried unsuccessfully to get a larger company to show interest in my latest novel, which is science fiction-oriented but in which the characters are gay men. It is not romance, and their sexual orientation is not the focus of the story, but nevertheless I keep butting my head against this invisible wall of what 'mainstream' literature should be, i.e., straight characters or if someone is gay, then they better be supporting characters at most. What has been your experience on this so far?
  25. As a new member here at GA, I find this system great. It allows me as a reader to browse through quality writing, and I will definitely strive to reach Promising status in a few months!
