Well my three gay friends were the ones that wanted me to write. They said the needed something to get into that wasn't so, "Will and Grace," so it was their pushing me to write that started my Homosexual based fictions. I have let my other friends read the stories (even a boyfriend) and they all took it pretty well. They didn't realize that there would ever be sex in them so that surprised everyone. They've stopped reading now though so now my audience is the people on this site and the Nifty readers... lol.
Anyway, I would never let anyone in the family read them. I haven't even let on to my family that I am a writer, but I'm new when it comes to writing (Only been writing for 3 years) so that's the reason behind that. When I become more comfortable I'll show my older sisters and brothers. As far as my mother goes I'd probably never show her. Then when my younger brothers and sisters are at an older age I'll show them as well.
