Resource: Blithe House Quarterly

Blithe House Quarterly: http://www.blithe.com/

BHQ is and was the beginning of gay fiction online, as far as I know. Aldo Alvarez, the publisher, started it way back in the mid-nineties, only just a little while after the web had become something people had heard about. The site hasn't been updated since 2007, but if you've never been there, it's all new to you. Very high curation standards, and a deep backlog of content, make this website a tremendous resource even without new material. If an updating website is like a magazine or a newspaper, coming at you every so often, think of this one as a big solid anthology on your bookshelves. And it would take several bookshelves. You could spend years in that archive and still not exhaust it. So go. Among other things, you'll find stuff by some of my favorite writers, like Bard Cole, and Kevin Killian, and, um, yeah, there's even a story (if you can call it that) by me in there, too, written before I had given up on fiction.
