Exploring the original fic universe has led me to one conclusion: I'll try anything as long as it's well written. My current obsession is freece's Captive Prince. Such subtle hints of back story, political machinations and wonderful characters. This is no M/m Mills and Boon harem fic. No no no. This is so much more. Book one is complete.
I'll try anything as long as it's well written I think that applies to the majority of us. My question is more like what will make people read a story when they have yet known how well the story is written. What type of story will most probably get readers' attention.
What gets my attention is that the journey until our lads can be together will not be easy. I love an element of danger and darkness. There needs to be some form of darkness,
I suppose sci-fi,futuristic and historical are my top faves, along with slave fic: you know, the feistsy, damaged, won't roll over slave and the honourable but damaged master. *scratches head* That sound a tad like fluff doesn't it.
Speaking of darkness, you must read The Eternal Dungeon series by the gloriously gifted duskpeterson. Beautifully written, complex and darkness in spades; it's right up your alley.
In a cool, dark cavern, guarded by men and by oaths, lies a dungeon in which prisoners fearfully await the inevitable. The inevitable will be replaced by the unexpected.
