Mark McLelland, an Australian professor whose name is well-known to boys’ love scholars and fans, has written a guest article about the new Australian internet-filter law at fandom researcher Henry Jenkin’s blog, Confessions of an Aca/Fan. Check out McLelland’s article “Will New Law Block Many Slash, Anima, Manga Sites in Australia?” for a criticism of [...]

I just received McFarland’s spring catalog in the mail, and our book is listed! Here’s the catalog copy and a rare chance to see the cover, because the cover art hasn’t yet been uploaded to other places on the web yet. Hmmm, does the art look familiar to any of you BL fans? If you [...]

I can revise a novel over and over and over again on-screen, and it never makes any difference. When I finally print it out, around revision two or three, and go over it on paper, I invariably see dozens of places on each page where I can tighten prose, fix dialog, and clarify points. I’m [...]

Check it out — just click on the “audio MP3″ link by the story title, or choose to go directly to the audio. Voice actor & fellow author T.D.

My chapter in our upcoming boys’ love anthology compares heterosexual to male/male romances, and as I’ve written here before, I’ve been thinking about turning my research attentions away from yaoi and toward the new genre of original, English-language, female-authored male/male romance novels.

Happy 2010, everybody! This was the evening (pre-fireworks) view from our balcony at the suite at the Grand Californian, next to Disney’s California Adventures, where I spent New Year’s Eve with some college/gaming friends and their kids. Now I am sitting in bed waiting for said friends to rouse and/or for the Rose Parade to [...]
