2025 is the time for experimentation.

So, I want to invite you to participate in something I have never done before. I want to write a gay short story and let you decide what it is about. That's right: Setting, characters, tropes and micro-tropes, title, cover design—it's all up to you! That cover and title you see above? They're just placeholders until the community decides!

All you have to do to be part of this journey is subscribe to my newsletter. I will send you news about the current progress and polls where you and other subscribers can decide!

And the best part?

Once the short story is finished, every subscriber to my newsletter will receive a complimentary copy!

What kind of story can I expect?

I write sweet and spicy contemporary gay romance. So, something in that direction. Whether the story will be more sweet or spicy is up to you! If you want to get a better idea of what to expect, check out my other publications.

What has the community decided on so far?

Setting: A public park in a small town in the fall

Tropes: Bi-Awakening, Best Friends and Grumpy/Sunshine

Age Range for the Main Characters: 31-39

Couple/Story: Cato and Matt/Dogdaddies

Note: There were two more stories up for voting, and just for the fun of it, here are their descriptions:

What's next?

Soon, you can vote on the point of view and spice level of the story, as well as the title and cover.

A few notes, though.

Although I am opening this process up to votes, I will only continue with things I feel comfortable writing. I will not write things that are against the law. Since this is an experiment, there is a possibility that I may have to stop in the middle of the process, resulting in no short story being published. If this happens, all newsletter subscribers will be informed. Please also note that you are not entitled to any form of compensation for voting. Flynn Woods will make the final decision, and therefore, all copyrights will remain with the author.

Then you know, what to do! You'll even get my steamy short story Three Sheets To The Wind for free!
