BEARLY POSSIBLE
Theme: Bears, Bulls, and Cubs, oh my!
Submission Closes: April 1st
Everyone knows the stereotype of a gay man; the designer clothes wearing, musical loving, trimmed, tweak and buffed, body-conscious, svelte image of today's popular cultural outlets. But we know that's not the whole story because gay or not everyone is individual in their tastes, desires and appearance. We are looking for stories that express the tastes of those in the bear subculture.
This subculture has grown by astronomical proportion and while the terms are many, BEAR seems to sum it up best. Bears, muscle-bears, leather-bears, cubs, bulls, chubs, otters, daddies, polar bears, panda bears, etc. The images of hirsute, muscled men with gruff voices and natural bodies spring to mind effortlessly.
These men are waiting to have their stories told! So 'hairy' up and start writing.
