Sales number of online publishing houses reflect that what once might have started out as a literary flicker is steadily merging into a broad and rising trend in literature. What do we know about the new genre yet? Where does it have its roots and who are the authors?
It stands to reason to assume that in the early stages authors started out by flexing their writing muscles in the area of fan fiction writing. It is a form of writing that can be exclusively found online and does not exist in hard cover format. A fandom is constituted by a number of people who are interested in maybe a TV show like "Stargate" or a book series such as "Harry Potter". Authors take characters from the original stories and create short stories in the original story verse and give them their own twist. Often times a romantic sub plot is added in which does not exist in the original universe the story is set in. The very beginning of fan fiction writing is attributed to fanzines of the late 1970's with Kirk/Spock Star Trek fiction.
Over time more and more authors have transitioned over to writing original fiction of their own, developing their own characters and plots. With coming from a background that focuses on mm/fiction and having a decidedly interested female readership it seems to be consequent to take this element over and expand into it. The new genre has well renowned authors who have become easily recognizable due to their distinctive literary voice, lovely morally ambiguous characters and unique settings.
If you are interested in this new genre you will find that there is a number of online publishers who exclusively publish romance novels attributed to gay romance and gay fiction. You will find novels both in paperback and e-reader format.
