I've seen mention in the past to a Beta Reader forum, where people can try out stories before posting them. Is it still around?
Thanks

Re: Beta Reader forum?
I currently have three stories I'm working on. The first two are longer (would be multi-part) and incomplete, the third shorter and is in the revision stage. All three stories are primarily gay, and all were inspired by dreams I've had.
The first is set in a post-apocalyptic future where, in order to control population, males are required to wear chastity devices until age 18, when they are given a choice of continued sexual frustration in a chastity device, or castration. The story focuses on a young man and his experiences during the month's time he has to choose. He went wandering and is abducted by a different tribe from his own, and has made some new friends.
The second story started as a continuation of something I started but didn't like. Since then, it has taken on a different theme. So, as it stands, all I've got is a middle. I need to write a new beginning, and there is no ending as of yet either. The central theme is animal play, specifically humans who act like, and are treated to a certain extent as, dogs or other pets (including getting them "fixed"). The main character is a young gay man, though there are some hetero and bisexual scenes in this story. He has a master, but much of the content that I have written as of now takes place on a ranch owned by a woman who is taking care of him while his master is out of town. The woman likes men, and much of the action is between the main character and two other males.
The third story is basically written, though I'm sure it needs revision. The three main characters are an 18 year old high-school athlete, his lover/principal, and the early 20's janitor who watches them. One of them loses his nuts by the end of the story.
Since I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from reading other stories here, I'd like to contribute some of my own. I don't just want to post them without letting someone else look at them and give me some pointers and feedback, though, since once posted it's not easy to make revisions.
If anyone would like to help me out, let me know.
Thanks,
Conrad
