There's nothing wrong here that a MacArthur grant wouldn't cure.
I'm very big in Europe.
I am the author of Travels with Lizbeth and the included essay "On Dumpster Diving," a novel Pawn to Queen Four, Lavender Blue: How to Write and Sell Gay Men's Erotica, Gay Cosmos a work of gay theory, and numerous works of short gay erotica in various collections. I have a home page.
Please join me in the Gay Cosmos group for discusions of gay science, philosophy, history, anthropology, and other gay studies (except for the arts, which are well covered in other groups.) http://groups.myspace.com/gay cosmos.
I have created a gay writing group for pros and those who are interested in going pro. I mean in writing of course! "I suffered for my art. Now it's your turn." It is "Gay Pro Writers" at http://groups.myspace.com/gpw or use the Groups menu to avoid having to log in again.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I deny friend requests from people under 18 as a matter of policy. If you have a school assignment about one of my works, you can find some more essays about my works and experiences on my web site (see above) and I will respond to particular questions through the email address there. Otherwise I am happy to respond to questions and discussion in one of the non-mature-rated groups I subscribe to. They are listed on the left.
Oh, yeah. If I am fortunate enough to retain more than eight friends, top friends will be rotated.
