I am glad about that! Like I said I'm just having a moment of self-doubt.

Yeah, I feel like writing them naturally and just like everyone else is the way to go

A huge misconception out there is that all gay guys act the same. In reality, it depends on the subculture they buy into

That's actually really awesome! I'd love to have actually finished something; I lose interest quickly only to rediscover them later

Self doubt always gets in the way of what I write. Some good advice I heard though was that if you like it, someone else will too

The subculture that the two gay men of My Story fall into is basically being the super buff manly men. Like that of Arnold Schwarzenegger and all that.

That will definitely set it apart in a good way

Indeed. my fear is that people will think that I'm stupid.

I rarely see that dynamic outside of LGBTQ fanfics written by members of the LGBTQ

So your going the "I pick things up then put them down"

Route

With the manly bodybuilder gays

Not stupid at all! That's honestly an underated protagonist type

Even though in the 1980s it was insanely popular! Stuff like Conan the Barbarian and Terminator and all of that!

I personally value when a story is told with a protagonist like that, which is funny since I am the opposite.

Exactly!!

Its a much different take

If they say its stupid, then maybe they just aren't good storytellers

Really!? Damn people are really missing out!

YOU AWESOME!

Whereas most writers go the "We need to protect feminine men and femboys," you're paying attention to character types that are in the culture that aren't mainstream

It's hard for people to wrap their brains around the idea that not all gay men act traditionally feminine and flamboyant (see Marvel fanfic)

Mostly because it's what gets written over and over again

I think you're tapping into something interesting because of it

Hot damn!

Its a different take that many people wouldn't want to try, since it breaks the mold

^

Damn! I am a fucking genius!

I may not be a great writer on my own, I suck with dialog, but I like to think that I can help with plot or characters

In the end you have to believe in your story, and do your best to make it work

Thank you!

I suck at dialogue too ngl 😂

I just saw this chat, this is just what I need!

Awesome man, we'd be happy to help

Hell yea bro!

Oh nice it's here

I would like to write something, its just I have so many ideas but cant really connect them

I don’t have any original ideas. It’s rough.

Oh boy this server will be interesting

I want to write about importance of Truth, Tradition, God, and Real Men.
