New questions to ponder

I also have that Sci fi story I'm still working on, and a romance... So amusing I can juggle all these genres at the same time. Been doing a bit of everything lately.

I just find it easier. Like, I always found romance to be my favourite genre. Now with slash I don't have to create a generic OFC. And the story can be about two boys instead of just one. Win-win! lol
I kind of want to start writing a BSB slash but I feel so out of touch with the fandom now. I did outline something so maybe I should just start writing and see what happens.

^My favorite thing about writing slash has been the fact that it can be a totally BSB-centered story without any OFC and still have some romance. Definitely a win-win!
The downside to it? If you prefer writing in third person, it seems like it would get confusing with all the male pronouns. ("He pressed his mouth against his, as his arms encircled his waist," etc. Who is doing what??) That is why I'm writing in first person.
Sakabelle:
^The male pronouns do get super confusing in third person. I struggle with this a lot and end up using names a lot more than I normally would. It's challenging to do that and still have it flow nicely.
RokofAges75:
I bet! I guess you'd have to use their names most of the time to avoid the confusion though.

That's kind of where I trip a little with the romance part. But I think I'm getting better at it. My more recent stuff has been well received. Plus with Secrets Of The Heart I got a little hospital drama in there which I have a soft spot for. Funnily I have kind of picked up my regular romance again, although it's so weird to go back to writing about a female being with Nick instead of Brian lol
