When it comes to gay men, variety is the spice of life. Not everyone is a willowy twink or shows their hairless physiques like body builders. Some men are burly, bulky, and have hair on their chests. Others are downright furry, and they demand just as much love and respect as the next guy.
For “Bear Season”, we’re looking for stories that focus on characters whose physiques are in line with the large and in charge trope of the gay bear. Your character can be anything from a Leather Daddy to a big softy who is more gentle than he appears at first glance.
While bears might appear dangerous or rough around the edges, we would love to see the full scope of personalities in these stories, so don’t be afraid to juxtapose your burly protagonist against an unlikely love interest. Will he butt heads with a bigger, badder bear? Will a newfound appreciation for a slighter lover bring out his softer side?
Whatever direction you take it, we want readers to instantly know that they’re playing with the big boys when they open up this anthology.
