BURIED TREASURE ¶ Recommendations of Online
Male Homoerotic Stories and Male Friendship Stories (and anything else
that catches my interest) ¶
By Dusk Peterson
Visitors should be aware that some of the sites
linked at Buried Treasure are intended for mature readers and viewers.
But not nearly as many as some of you would like.
This Website and the rest of Dusk Peterson's fiction recommendations,
nonfiction, and fiction are available as an HTML e-book: Love
in Dark Settings Omnibus.

Introduction
I read an interview recently in which an editor of professionally published
fiction stated that virtually no well-written amateur fiction exists in
the world. Shortly thereafter, he made clear that he was basing this claim
on the quality of his slushpile (unsolicited manuscripts). That explained
a lot.
Here, then, are a few of the jewels that the pro editors have never
seen, poor things. I've also included recommendations of online and offline
writings by professional writers. You can judge for yourself whether those
professional tales match up to the high standards set by amateur authors.
In addition to fiction, this site recommends videos, Websites, narrative
poetry, and narrative nonfiction. Most of what I read falls into the category
of male homoerotic stories or male friendship stories, but this site reflects
my broad tastes; you'll find recommendations to other categories of stories
here too, properly labelled.
As anyone who has read my stories can guess,
I'm especially drawn to angsty, plot-driven tales that focus on strong
emotional bonds between characters. An interesting theme or an ethical
struggle can easily hook me into a story.
The word "homoerotic" simply means "homosexual" here, though a number
of the stories do include erotic content.
If you would like to submit your own online male homoerotic fiction
recommendations, Buried Treasure's companion site Private
Parlor offers you an opportunity to do so. True
Tales: An Erotic E-zine of Masculinity and Power is similar to this
site, but specifically focusses on recommendations of homoerotic fiction,
nonfiction, art, photography, music, and videos that center on masculinity
and power. The Slash Skinny provides
information on professionally published male and female homoerotic fiction.
I'm still searching for the perfect place to find male friendship stories.
