Its the lurking newbie here...

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any stories set in contemporary london..... there are quite a few set in england, but i want to read something closer to home, literally and metaphorically speaking.

ooh ooh, preferably edgy, and definitely not erotica ( coz that can be a bit ick sometimes ^_^ )

any recs will be muchly appreciated,

I think N Fourbois has a few, on this site. Not erotica per se, but erotic even so Smile

OMG....I did say NOT erotic right???? granted, i only had a quick peek at N Fourbois, but his stories did seem a bit strong...one of the titles for a haiku based stories seemed exceptionally blunt!!! i shall try to read it later.

I'm a romantic at heart...need to see the relationship for like twenty chapters before i even want to read about sex.

Well the haiku format only lends itself to bluntness. Try another one Smile

LOL.......i happen to really like haiku poetry, though i haven't gone on a mad hunt to become an expert.......there is another japanese poetry form called tanka, its older and more complex (in other words, just a tad longer).

anyways, enough of random information ^_^

check out "Haiku Alley" here. I think we may have the largest collection of generally gay themed hakius anywhere in the world

You dislike haiku
You find it to be drivel;
To me it is art.
