Men in Feminine Poses

These aren't hammed up like the satirical ones, they're done in a more serious tone -- men exploring their softer side.

I look at them and I think gentleman in distress, I think heronet, I think these are the kind of guys the hera rescues.  I just kinda want to chain them to side of a mountain and listen to them scream for help.  I think #1 and #10 are my favorites.

Thay're beautiful. I have a batch of rather macho muses in here telling me exactly how much they want to take care of those lovely boys and rescue them and make love to them and and and...

i wrote a male "damsel in distress" into my werewolf novel. (i.e. problems affecting him are the ones that spur the protagonist, also male, into various forms of serious action.)

readers' reactions have been interesting. he's the standard "favorite character". for me the funny part is that readers who are queer (or thereabouts) tend to ship him and the protagonist, whereas readers who tend towards straight tend to ship the protagonist with a hard-to-deal-with-but-ultimately-on-the-side-of-goodness woman character.

(n.b. the book starts off with the protagonist having a gf who is poly, and nobody's love life changes significantly during the time period covered by the book.)

thank you! it's been a lot of fun. if i ever look to "alternative" publication for it, be sure i will be badgering you for advice ;)

(actually it might be worth mentioning its self-pub history: first edition in three-ring binders, sold six copies at arisia's art show; second edition hand-bound by spinrabbit sold about twenty copies to friends and strangers; third edition currently under edits :)

No problem. I'm familiar with crowdfunding, and a little bit of other branches, although there are different folks with a better grasp of stuff like Smashwords.

That sounds promising.
