Jump The Shark by Nick Archer-- Just venting about all those tired, old writing clichés I keep seeing at Nifty Archives *Ding! Dong!* Oops! Better get the door. | ||
| Top Ten Reasons Why Nifty High School and Young Friends Stories Are So Bad by Nick Archer | |||
| Writing Series: So, after I vented my spleen about all the bad writing, I wrote a series of short, specific how-to articles from a positive point of view. I'm just trying to make gay male fiction on the internet a better place! | |||
| --Stamp Out Narrator Switching by Nick Archer -- Some suggestions about what to do instead of changing narrators. | |||
| --Name Game -- naming your characters so that they're distinctive yet believable | |||
| Gay Writing Tips by John Francis -- A useful, practical article for amateur writers | |||
| Points of View by John Francis -- Why it's important to maintain the same point of view within a story and John instructs how to do it! | |||
| Read This And Write By AMc -- Why would an author put "don't email me about mistakes" in his/her introduction? AMc wonders the same thing.... | |||
| The Hook by Real White Guy -- How to write a killer intro sentence that pulls readers in. Much better than the beep-beep-beep of that stupid alarm clock. | |||
| Dialog Lesson by Felix Lance Falkon -- a humorous and accessible guide to writing dialog | |||
| Boylove Story Clichés by Fun Tails -- Similar to Jump The Shark. Very amusing and extremely on-target, Fun Tails leaves no sacred cow unkicked. | |||

| Lars Eighner's Home Page -- a must visit page for all gay writers. His site includes the indispensable Lavender Blue/Elements of Arousal which is the bible for writers of gay men's erotica. Mr. Eighner is currently rewriting Lavender Blue and he tends to move it around within his site. Look for it in the Archives section. Also of interest is his essay Why I Write Gay Erotica. | |||
| Independent Gay Writer -- Alas, Ron Donaghe is no longer publishing his superb Ezine The Independent Gay Writer but back issues are available. Also, be sure to read Ron's excellent essays about print on demand publishing and the state of gay publishing in general. | |||
