A: Juxtapose Fantasy is an original fiction site featuring romantic stories about men. The stories are on-going like popular soap operas and fall into several genres: fantasy (Juxtan), futuristic (Juxtapose City), mythic and angels (Angel:Reverse Heaven, Earth), contemporary (Sin City), suspense (The Guardian), and steampunk (Wrath World).
A: Currently, there are well over one hundred stand-alone and multi-chaptered novel length series in addition to almost seventy guest stories and contest stories. The bookstore also features more comics and books starring the JF characters.
A: Yes! To give you a taste of the storylines, a few stories in each universe are marked "free preview". You don't need a subscription to read these.
Q: How often will new stories be posted?
A: A minimum of one new story/chapter will be posted each week. Chapters are typically 5-6000 words.
Q: That's a lot of writing. How do you know you'll be so productive?
A: JuxtaposeFantasy has been running since September, 2002. I have never failed to update. I write full-time.
Q: What are the differences between your fiction universes?
A: Juxtan stories are based in a fantasy world. They lean towards the romantic. Juxtapose City stories are set in a slightly futuristic world and are darker and more graphic. Angel:Reverse stories are split into two worlds: Earth and Heaven. Earth is set in a modern-day setting and has a dark, horror/gothic atmosphere while Heaven is softer and more mythical. Sin City is a contemporary series featuring strong elements of D/s. Each series features a completely different set of characters and relationships.
1/10/08 update: The two Angel:Reverse storylines have just concluded, but the stories will remain on-site.
3/01/09 update: A new suspense universe has been launched, called "The Guardian". This is an odd couple pairing in which the charming owner of an odd antiques shop becomes the target of a worldwide manhunt and only a mysterious man who hides his face can protect him.
Q: How do you describe your writing style?
A: JF stories range from adventurous and romantic to touching and dramatic -- just like romance novels you'll find in a bookstore. The only difference is that the main characters are men. I am a strong proponent of character-driven stories and romantic anticipation. I enjoy writing angsty stories as well as hard yaoi stories (PWPs). My goal is to make these stories as exciting and entertaining as possible. I want you to finish reading a story and say, "Wow!". For the most part, every story will be heavy on the slash.
Q: Why should I pay to read your stories when there are free sites?
A: How many times have you fallen in love with a story only to have the author abandon it? At JF, that will never happen. This isn't a hobby, it's a business. If you enjoy my writing style you can be assured of consistent reading material each and every week (sometimes more often than that). I wish my favorite authors could guarantee that!
