Why You Should Pay Artists For Sample Pages
A reader on our Facebook Page asked
Hey Alex, I’m curious, when you look for artists, do you go strictly by their portfolio or do you pay for sample panels?
I thought my answer might be useful for others so I’m posting it up here. 
Webcomic: Go Read OGLAF (NSFW)
So, I just spent the most awesome hour reading through an online webcomic called OGLAF.COM. You should too.
Yaoi Review: Loud Snow by Tina Anderson and Amelie Belcher
Not without its flaws, this is a sweet and engaging yaoi comic by independent Western creators that delivers laughs and smiles. If you like your guy-on-guy romance to be cute and fun with strong characters who get adorably worked up and deserve to be together, it’s definitely worth the Kindle price of $4.99 and even the $8.00 pre-order for the print book. You won’t be disappointed.

Yaoi Review: Party Favors
Alex brings a yummy chocolate cake to a manga BBQ and leaves with a bag full of yaoi to review. Read on to find out whether Kumiko Suekane’s “world without girls” fantasy Once Upon A Glashma or Lily Hoshino’s virgin-sacrificing Chocolate Surprise are worth dipping your chips into.
Yaoi Review: Future Lovers by Saika Kunieda
Likable, non-cliché characters with real depth, great art and an exceptionally solid and credible love story make for a great read. Despite a somewhat weaker, more conventional B-story, this book is definitely worth your $12.95.
Yaoi Art: Painted Cover Art For “Tough”
I have something very exciting to show you. As I’ve mentioned “Tough” is the first chapter in a two volume, seven chapter graphic novel, Tough (it gets its title from this first chapter). Well, our artist Winona Nelson has just finished painting the cover art for the book and here it is!
Straight Friends Don’t Get It? Show Them: “Are You Straight?”
A lot of folks I showed this video to — both straight and gay — found it to be perfect to show to their friends who don’t quite “get it”. It certainly helps bring home the subtler forms of prejudice and ignorance that are hard for all of us to shake. Since cool people come to this blog, I decided it was worth sharing here. And let’s face it – he’s a cutie.
How To Write Badly: The Idiot Plot Device
There are enough examples of quality writing in genre work that there is no excuse for writing stories that can’t stand toe-to-toe with more “mainstream” work. And I believe the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Thus this series of posts on “How To Write Badly” – because knowing is half the battle.
The first shameful technique we’ll discuss is something I like to call “The Idiot Plot Device”.
Amazon excluding LGBT material from searches!
Amazon seemed to have decided to unilaterally exclude LGBT books from their internal searches. So… what’s going on?
Gay Comic Review: The Book of Boy Trouble Edited by Robert Kirby and David Kelly
This is a great book of short comics — especially for young guys in the early stages of coming out. It pulls no punches when it comes to the realities of sex and drugs and feels totally real, but the overall tone is light, hopeful and full of energy. You aren’t going to hang any of the art on your wall, but you will definitely want to read each of these stories more than once. Even more authentic than Max & Sven, it should be part of every gay youth’s library. If you like comics of guys who fall in love with other guys, you should buy this book.
