“Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos. I remember first reading it not long after it started – I think I even still had a livejournal account at that point!įor those that aren’t familiar, here’s the summary of Captive Prince, the first book in the series: Pacat to that list of amazing authors, and I am so glad that the Captive Princeseries has turned into such a success story. You have no idea just how happy I am that it has taken off as a genre of its own, with amazing authors getting well-deserved recognition. M/M romance didn’t really take off until closer to 2005, and even then, it was fairly slow and definitely niche to start with. I wanted actual romance novels, just with a hero and a hero instead of a hero and a heroine. Frequently dealing with social issues, the AIDS epidemic, and other gay-specific issues, it just wasn’t what I was looking for. Gay fiction was “literature”, and definitely not romantic. The thing is, if you were looking for any kind of m/m romance in the late 90s/early 2000s, that was basically your only option. Like most of my friends, I started with fanfiction, and then found the absolute wealth of stories people post online.
I’ve been reading online fiction since it was a thing, and I don’t mean ebooks.
