Manga & Romance Blog Hop



Hey guys! Over this weekend the Manga and Romance Blog Hop will be taking place. I’m really excited to be taking part in this hop. To hop from one blog to another use the highlighted link above.

 * * * *

I found yaoi a couple of years ago, but really didn't know what I had found. I don’t know much about it, but what little bit I do know, I enjoy. Now, gay romance I know lol. Frankly, I love reading and writing about M/M. The hotter the story, the better lol. When I found the genre several years ago I fell in love and, as they say, the rest was history. 


I ran across a site called Literotica.com and stumbled across all the different sections they offered. On a whim I clicked to Gay Male. Oh my God, what rock had I been hiding under all these years??? The first author I read knocked my socks off. She was great, and some of you my know her—Pelaam. Then I went exploring and what a gold mine I had found.  
After reading for a while I had to try my hand at writing a gay male love story. Which I did at Literotica. Okay, so I didn't have a clue what I had gotten myself into lol. Writing was SO much harder than I though. There was so much I didn't know! Well I learned, made mistakes, and learned some more. I made a bunch of friends, practiced writing, got good feedback, and still learn more lol.


During my first story on Literotica called Darkness Awaits, I found I really *liked* writing nonhuman. I focused on that for a while, then got a wild hair and wrote Priceless for a Valentine Day's contest at Literotica. Well, I didn't place, but know what? I liked writing about two normal guys just as much lol. Of course Cupid had something to say about me writing nonhuman for long, the imp.



After a while I took the plunge. I gathered up my nerve and published something. Thank God I stumbled across Literotica!
