Posted on 20/04/2010 by Kris

Some of you who’ve been hanging around here for a while may recall Jenre’s and my Top 25 “You know it’s Twu Wuv whens…” post. Yeah. It was the stuff of epics. Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about … Continue reading →

Fucking weird. Swear to God. If I had a dollar for every ‘battered tube of lube’ I’ve read in an m/m romance, my trip to California in October would be well and truly paid for.
