Gay Literature's Latest Trend: Gay Romance For Female Readers

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.

Romance Novels - The Most Popular Genre of Literature Today

While many would find fault with the above title, the claim that romance novels are a form of literature, the fact remains that more romances are read than any other genre in North America. This has been the case since 2004 when fifty five percent of all paperback books sold were in the romance category.

That's an incredible amount of books, and surely a vast array of people reading them. But here again, there seems to be an unwillingness to accept that facts. Why? Because many like to claim that only women who are single, desperately unhappy or just desperate, and let's not forget uneducated, are the only people who read romances in any form. And this is despite reams of data that disputes these claims.

So, what does the data show? That women and men from all walks of life, from the poverty stricken to the wealthy, from the uneducated to the over educated, from single people and those involved in fulfilling, long term relationships, from the unemployed to those who are top grade professionals, read romances.

Romance novels are also looked upon with a degree of derision. Many say, and I will admit that in some cases there is a degree of true in this, that these types of books simply follow a formula. That if you've read one, you've read them all. But that can be said for many mainstream, New York Times bestsellers as well. There are mainstream authors that I refuse to read anymore, because the plot is exactly the same in each and every one of their novels.

But for those who like to read a good romance for whatever the reason, the good news is that there is an endless stream of them available. And there is something to fulfill every taste. Romantic suspense, romantic comedy, western romances and so on. The sub-genres of the romance category are many and varied.

So, do you like to read romances?

Trashy Romance Novels Destroying Literature?

Many big selling authors and writers sell totally trashy romance novels and they pump them out faster than their fictitious characters pump them. There are so many trashy romance novels and it appears that there is a big following for this sort of garbage out there and it is sure growing too. So many indeed.

Do you consider Trashy Romance Novels literature? How about someone who writes them do you consider them an author or a writer? Yes or No? If YES, then writers like that are destroying literature in the present period and the long tradition of literary work which makes writing so important to human history and education. These romance novels are in my opinion; NOT professional, it is akin to selling soft porn.

That is my opinion, without malice or making the porn industry look bad on these trashy romance novelist’s account. So if this is someone's idea of a professional writer then I am hereby under whelmed no matter how many pesky cats someone has in their family. We should not allow the words; Professional Writer; to ever mix with the words romance novels. These authors are not selling literature, as it is merely smut with no pictures and toned down a little bit just below indecency. Consider this in 2006.
