The novel is going through the last edits, it’s in Danish though, and so far only the first chapter is available in English. Rating: Teen/Mature - There is commissioned art at the page with nudity and also rape. There are warnings before you reach the NSFW stuff though. Warnings: Some mature art with sex and rape.

Review: Epic fantasy with a nice boy meets boy story, that might go from bromance to romance.

Rec: A Land fit for Heroes

Title: A Land fit for Heroes Author: Richard Morgan Format: Trilogy Published/Free: Published Length: Three novels Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic/explicit sex, extremely graphic/explicit violence, underage m/f, language, slavery, rape, gang rape, gore, war, death, other dark themes (remember, it's a book published by a major publisher. Except for the violence everything is toned down, and all of it, even the gang rape, is being handled in a decent way.) Link: http://www.goodreads.com/series/45822-a-land-fit-for-heroes Summary: Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap; Archeth, the last of her race and Egar Dragonbane, steppe-nomad. Damaged veterans of the war against the Lizard Folk. The Empire owed them everything and gave them nothing. Now someone is going to pay. Review: It's such a delight to read this. There are so many scenes which are just... so well executed, so well written. Mainly, all the fight scenes left me grinning and since there are a lot of them and they sometimes go on over pages and pages, that's a lot of laughing with pure delight at the characters' awesomeness. The whole book is pretty much nostalgic Sword & Sorcery at its best, with characters who have done the whole hero thing years before at the last war, and thought they were done with it, albeit are now uncomfortable in their new roles. Because being a hero doesn't get you the lover or the recognition you want. (The people still laugh at you being gay, and it sucks.) Being a hero doen't make the pain of your race leaving you behind any easier. (You still have to bow to the human coward of an emporer.) And you don't even like being the new clanmaster to your tribe. (Dragon-slaying was much more satisfying.) Meet Ringil, Archeth, and Egar Dragonbane.

Rec: Brennan and Blue

Title: Brennan and Blue Author: Blackboxparadox Format: Short Story Published/Free: Free Length: ~7k Status: Complete Rating: Everyone Warnings: Some kissing Link: http://blackboxparadox.livejournal.com/710.html Summary: Quests don't always turn out the way you plan. Review: Kind of hard to review your own work...but, I'll try. This is fantasy and fluffy. It was written as a gift for someone, so I tried to keep the word count down (hah) and to make it light-hearted--I wasn't really going for meaningful and complex. Short and sweet was the key. I'm not sure how well I pulled all those things off, but the recipient liked it, at least. Some good points: I feel like the humor went well, that the characters aren't too flat for a standalone, there actually is some semblance of a plot going on Some bad points: it feels really really rushed, the setting is a bit generic, and some parts get a little infodumpy Your mileage may vary, of course. For reviews other than mine, you could check out the FictionPress version which as a couple reviews hanging out.

Rec: Choice of Romance

Title: Choice of Romance Author: Heather Albano, Adam Strong-Morse, Dan Fabulich Format: Online text-based Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game Published/Free: First part free, other two parts for purchase Length: Three parts Status: Complete Rating: Everyone Warnings: None Link: http://www.choiceofgames.com/romance/ Summary: You are the child of a noble and thus magical family - with a few monetary problems. But your uncle is able to send you to the court, where quite a few rich suitors await... Review: You can choose to be a man or a woman and whether you prefer men or women, and which things you are good at, and the game adjusts the story to your choices. The story itself is a mixture of romance and political adventure, but that also depends on your choices, like, how far involved you want to be. It's well written and varied, though of course there are repetitions when you play it again, just with other character attributes. Like with any of these games, the fun in playing the second time comes from figuring out what would have been different if one had chosen differently. (Original Post)
