I was bored shitless the other day and trying to work out what I could do when it suddenly hit me…
I could try my hand at this meme thing and see how many people I can suck into my world of procrastination!
I know. Awesome, right. *beams*
So, there need to be rules don’t there… err… ummm… okay!
Rules:
1. Answer all the questions below in either the comments here or post it on your own site. If you post it on your own site you have to come back and give the link here so I/Kris can mosey on over and see if you answered correctly have a sticky beak.
2. You have to tag two other people once your done and pester them relentlessly until they do the meme too.
3. Instead of a meme image thing you have to post a cookie, preferably a twofer. It is an m/m meme after all. 😉
*rubs hands together in glee*
Questions:
1. How long have you been reading GLBTQ fiction?
2. What was the first book you read in this genre?
3. Are you ‘out’ as a reader?
4. Ebooks, print or both?
5. Do you buy direct from publishers or from secondary sellers?
6. Prove you’re a Book Slut. How many books would you say you buy a week?
7. Are you a cover, blurb or excerpt buyer?
8. Yeah, you read reviews, but do you actually take notice of them?
9. Who’s your fave publisher?
10. What about authors? Your top two only!!
11. Is there a sub-genre you particularly dis/like?
12. Short or long?? *rolls eyes* And, no, I’m not talking about cocks.
13. Anything turn you off about m/m or is all just glorious smut to you?
14. Finish this sentence. You know it’s m/m twu wuv when…
15. What trope or theme are you heartily sick of in m/m romance?
16. If you could choose any 3 characters for a m/m/m who would they be?
17. What new GLBTQ release are you most hanging out for right now?
18. What GLBTQ book has completely blown you away this year?
19. What do you think we’ll see more of in m/m romance in 2010?
20. Don’t you agree that author Josh Lanyon should kill off arsehole character Jake Riordan?
Tag; you’re it:
Jenre (Cos it’s such fun to pick on you, Jen. :D)
Lily (It’s all about payback, baby. *hehehe*)
Kris + Books = Good. *Sometimes*. 
Sorry it took so long. Here's the link to my post.

Cool, and it didn't take long at all, hun. 🙂
Kris, of course they can fake it. I just have no idea WHY would they.
Matthew, the two guys were with different partners, but in separate rooms with a convenient paper thin wall. They both realised they'd rather be with the other, blah, blah and both did a simultaneous fake. *shrugs* I guess it was meant to be an epiphany or something, but just ended up being WTF for me.
I've read a couple of stories where the author was able to convey the fact that the emotional and/or physical response was unsatisfactory because of the partner the guy was with and that was way more convincing for me than the simultaneous *my new fave word obviously* fake.
Oh, I know lovers can come at the same time. It was much more them thinking it's a sign of true love that I was dubious about.
I forgot to put up a picture, but here's a cool link: http://awz.parakaproductions.com/ If anyone hasn't watched the adventures of Deniz and Roman on the German soap opera Alles Was Zahlt, they're a great couple. Eskimo Kiss Project does English subtitles for their scenes. The particular episode that was recommended by someone in the m/m romance fans group was episode 751, which had a beautiful love scene between the two. But their second try at having a serious relationship has tenderness and lust and angst and comedy. I'm totally hooked on the show now.
Emilie, thanks for the link! I've heard about this series before so it will be great to check out some of the tv bites. 🙂
OK, I did this, too. Had to pick on you just a tad more… http://donttalkjustread.blogspot.com/2009/11/kris-mm-meme.html
Well, gee, Lori thanks for picking on me. That's just awesome of you. *rolls eyes*
Krissie dear, did you read the first chapter from Adrien & Jake?
Nup. Where's that at??
At Josh his blog of course
