When, in my last post, I was thinking so deeply about different aspects of how wrestling turns me on, I should have also included reading about and writing wrestling fiction, as well. I was recently recounting for TxWresl how my original impetus to start this blog was to establish a platform for exchanging homoerotic wrestling fiction. I was (and remain) a big fan of John Savage’s wrestling comics and, back in the day, his celebrity wrestling fiction. It looks like he’s still creating from a profile hub on DeviantArt, though he reports that his old celebrity wrestling fiction got wiped when the original platform they were published on was made redundant. Which sucks a lot, because they were fun and funny and hot, and totally got me wanting more. Thus inspired back at the beginning of my blogging journey, I started writing my own fiction, and decided to build the blog as a vehicle for promoting those stories and inviting others to share theirs. I nearly lost all of my old story archives when Google made the original platform I published them on redundant, too, so the same thing that happened to John nearly happened to me. But I still have my archives, and I’ve been slowly rebuilding a couple of sites to share them on, repackaging the old stories I was writing and publishing as early as 15 years ago. Somewhere in those intervening years, AR started following my stories, and it was AR who reached out over a year and a half ago, inviting me to collaborate with him and ultimately inspiring me to get back to writing again. AR and I write a ton together now, and we’ve been slowly prepping our extensive catalog of new-to-you homoerotic wrestling fiction, spiced up with AR’s 3D artwork. Reading and writing is absolutely another portal into the big, awesome turn-on that wrestling is to me, and both reading and writing is powerfully shaped by my love of watching wrestling and, more recently, my own experiences wrestling.

One of the fun series that AR and I have been building in our writing centers on a hot, naive rookie who sort of stumbles into the rough and tumble world of BG East wrestling. His “origin story” has been available for download (for free) for a while from my site Sidelineland Stories. And just about a week ago or so, I posted the chapter 2 to the Will Strong anthology, describing the rookie’s first visit to BG East north headquarters, where he makes an earnest friend and a dangerous enemy all in the same day. So I’m feeling all nostalgic today, as AR and I share this new piece of fiction that we had such fun writing, as I’m taken back to eagerly sinking my teeth into John Savage’s artwork and celebrity fiction, and all of that leading to this exciting journey I’ve been on ever since.

If reading homoerotic wrestling fiction strokes your pleasure zones the way it does mine, please feel free to check out “Training Day” at Sidelineland Stories. You can also find the Will Strong origin story “Discovering Will” there, and if you poke around a bit, you can find quite a few other pieces of fiction, new and old. My celebrity homoerotic fiction archives, which most definitely owe their inception to John’s work back in the day, has it’s own site and lives within it’s own literary universe called the Producer’s Ring, which also includes a lot of stories I wrote over a decade ago, as well as some sensationally hot new pieces AR and I have written over the past year and a half. Read and get turned on, if it works that way for you the way it does for me. And if you write homoerotic wrestling fiction, let me know! I always enjoy discovering new authors and happy to promo your work here.
