The writings of andr0gene mostly reside under the 'romance' category, pitting characters into awkward or impossible situations and let them make the best of it. Several of his efforts have popped up around the web over the years, before settling in here at GA, putting them all together in one place. His releases are far and in-between, so catch em as they come! Andr0gene writes to us from the Netherlands.

Featuring a collection of C James' stories, including everything from action/adventure with a nuclear twist, to a tale of death on the senate floor (written in 2nd person) to a slightly tongue-in-cheek horror story, surfing, romance, sci-fi, etc. C James enjoys writing in many different styles, so each story is different in its own way. C James' stories are also known for their extensive background research, including some scenes that are set in foreign locations and researched via the author's love of travel, including recent visits to many of the featured overseas locations.

My stories live in the everyday - in the quiet, ordinary moments where family, friendship, and love collide. They’re slice-of-life at heart: realistic, grounded, and woven with the kinds of small details that make life feel real, even when they seem mundane.

I write about characters learning who they are, navigating relationships that can lift them up or break them down, and facing choices that often ripple far beyond themselves. Some stories close on a hopeful note, with growth and connection; others follow harsher truths, where endings can be bitter, even tragic. But no matter where they land, each story is about the struggle and beauty of personal growth, and how we’re shaped by the people closest to us.

The two stories I've authored thus far, WORKING IT OUT and BELOVED, can be classified as "growing up gay" works, I think. The protagonist(s) are outed or come out to family and friends, sometimes moving from questionable support or lack of support for their orientation among significant others into strong commitments which permit them to mentor others. Religious affiliations of the heroes and their real or adoptive families are portrayed as supportive of gays, who often seek formal recognition .
