Zephyrus

I must admit that I do like to read stories with a couple of nice sexual scenes in them, but for the most part I like to read a bit of angst and more character development than anything else. Most of the time a writer tends to have to be careful not to write too much of the type of sex situation in a scene that has been done too many times before, and be a bit naughty about it. I find it interesting to create two characters who work well together, but I also find it hard to get that steady balance at the moment with the characters I am currently working on, but I've no doubt I'll get there eventually. The majority of gay stories I've read have been quality.

Something I have noticed about how to get a story started even if it is on scraps of paper to start with rather than a blank screen is to just think casually and relaxed. When you are relaxed, your muse starts to work and there is something that works inside your brain that gives you the ability to think stuff up you wouldn't normally think up in a million years if you are straining yourself to come up with an idea. Some of the most amazing stories can come to you when you are doing the housework or the shopping!

Welcome along Ed and Andy! I am new to this place too, but it is a good place to stay.

I like a bit of tea, but for some reason maybe to do with my body not liking it - I cannot seem to stomach coffee. I used to drink it in large quantities when I was younger, but it just makes me lethargic sometimes, hyperactive at others and downright moody. I suppose coffee is not for everyone, but I have never gone wrong with tea.

I like a nice chilled water with a touch of fruit in it, but other than that barley water, or freshly squeezed fruit juice.

Thanks so much for the welcomes! Thank you especially to Graeme, Laurie, AFriendlyFace and leshwar who have given me so much great advice. I will sort something out and see about the FAQ on becoming an author. I must admit relationship stories are usually what I do anyway, though I have dabbled in sci-fi and horror before.

Hello all, I'm Zephyrus and I want to be able to write really good gay fiction, but I also want to be able to read some good stuff from you guys too. I was also wondering if any of you could give me some tips on what kind of story you would like me to do that has not already been on the forum or on the story archives? I know, it's a toughie, but I would really love to know your thoughts on this as I would very much like to tailor my fiction to your needs as well as my own. Thanks in advance to all.
