New writer

[SassyLadyMO]

Looking for someone to read over a story for me. It's not the first that I've written, but will be the first I've submitted publicly. It's incomplete, but would still like some feedback.

I'm not sure what category it should be under. It has a bit of first time, toys and masturbation, and is on it's way to having some non-consent/reluctance.

Anyone interested? Please PM me if you are. Thank you in advance.

straight? gay male? lesbian? some/all of the above?

Straight, possibly gay male or all of the above as the story progresses. IF it progresses, I should say.

In my experience, if it has two men doing one another, no matter what else happens, it will be classified as 'gay male'.

Thos is to mollify the homophbic assholes who claim to be sickened by homosexuality, yet can't stop themselves from reading it.

For what it's worth, I've had good luck including male bisexuality within the fetish and group sex categories.

I hope the SF/Fantasy crowd is lenient. One of my upcoming stories will featurea a male, bisexual killer for hire.

Yeah, writing Assassin suddenly feels ...odd.

With "Ghost in the Machine" under your belt, Blind Justice, the SFF crowd at least knows you can write. Your rep will help you there.

Assuming the story and setting are both good work:

Say the character is the protagonist, you'll probably get a few more vocal bow-outs but most will be polite about it (and a few disappointed). But remember: you'll also keep some readers and possibly gain new, different ones.

Say the character is one of the secondary ones, most will be forgiving and keep reading, but a few vocal ones will be sure to mention that they are uncomfortable with it. Sometimes every chapter that it comes up (just in case you forgot, I guess.)

However. It takes balls and sexual security here, and if it's intended to be a sexy portrayal of a bisexual (as opposed to a demonized villain or despicable character), then should you post that new story, I'm going to read it because the sexy bisexual male is easily the man with whom I can be in the most awe. I'll also be impressed with your self-confidence as a writer.

I wouldn't be concerned about it, Blind one. If you feel it's necessary, you can add an author's note at the beginning to caution readers about what lies ahead. I haven't posted a non-consent piece, but I would feel obligated to caution readers in advance if a story included non-consent. There seem to be a few topics where we should be sensitive to others. I hate that male bisexuality makes that list, but apparently, for now, it does.
