Hot July Days...
May. 19th, 2011 07:01 amThe m/m Romance group over at Goodreads is having a fun...thing. I don't know what it is, exactly: not really a contest, just a... a function? Whatever. Anyway, members of the community post pictures (naughty pictures, mostly!) and short prompts about what they think is happening in the picture, and then authors come and 'claim' prompts and write stories about them.
And then...I don't quite know, actually. I should probably pay closer attention to the details of these things. I guess the stories get posted throughout July? Or e-mailed to people? No, probably posted, because they wanted the story in html. And then at some point they're glommed together into a downloadable anthology...although possibly not all stories are included in the anthology?
I don't know. But I claimed my picture, and I wrote my story, and I think it's a good, light read. It's not high drama, just a couple boys trying to figure out that they're meant to be together. And it's SHORT, which is something I'm playing with. Only 7 200 words.
Anyway, if you're not a member of the Goodreads m/m group, you might want to check it out. And if you ARE - free stories in July! And some of the prompt photos are VERY interesting...
