The Real Houseboys of Boystown (S2)

Would you care for a Season 2?

At the beginning, there was little chance for this series to continue.

As a new writer on medium.com, and also one who was publishing content that only appealed to seasoned connoisseurs (as well as content that the Powers that Be would never highlight), I was already not getting far.

But that is not to say that I did not have any feedback or fan messages. I was declared insufficient by Prism & Pen because the unheard voices did not want to be heard. One result of this discovery was that I had to go back to my roots: If one thing I say affects someone in a positive way, I don’t have to care about the rest.

This series — and now if I try to censor myself less to be people-pleasing — actually allows people of all walks of life to see themselves somewhere in print. And that is important.

To this effect, I will always welcome comments from readers who might be willing to help me nuance a character so that his/her/their expression is better aligned with reality — especially, if you, too, come from a marginalized community whose voice tends to get overlooked. But again, all are welcome to contribute!

I would like how this story connects to a much larger epic fantasy. Probably that should have been clear, but exactly in which ways, not so much. Do you remember the Unnamed Guy?

There’s a lot more to cover in Season Two. But I cannot do it without your support and willing to read. Claps and comments help me write about the shenanigans that building up, breaking down, shifting, deconstructing, and reconstructing lives.

The new series, much more intense than the first is being written. All support is welcome. :)

Claps (you can do more than one!) and comments are very much appreciated. I cannot continue stories without them.

This could be a work of either untrue nonfiction, true fiction, or most likely, something that lies in between because most truth does.

I respond to any and everyone that comments and/or subscribes. I also want for people to have access to my stories even if financial hardship precludes them from doing so. If you subscribe to my email, shoot me a message about an article that intrigues you but to which you don’t have access due to the paywall. I’m sure we can work something out. :)
