I was poking around in my storage recently when I found a particularly good piece of writing about 200 pages long (mostly single spaced) at this moment. I need to re-type the whole bloody thing because it is not stored on any electronic media.
What happened was, when I was in College, I and another friend in fiction writing classes had a contest to write a "porn" novel that read like a mainstream book. I went right home and started this book, while the person I made the bet with just forgot the whole incident.
Short synopsis:
A young bootlegger during the jazz age is kidnapped by a mob boss who has had a decade's old chain of male lovers, usually hand picked. His latest is getting too old and is about to be "thrown over" in favor of the young bootlegger. Over the years the present lover (The MC) has discovered that the mob boss kills the young men, filming the murder, and secretly plays it when he's feeling gruesome. He believes that the lover before him tried to warn him. After the mob boss forces him to murder some people, the present lover sets out to destroy his empire, and save the various other characters. (The new lover, the so-called wife who he happens to like, and others). There's a kind of "black-beard" idea running through this story. With the help of a German Geologist who is trying to con the mob boss into buying a share in a dimoniferous bauxite mine in South Africa, the good guys decide to funnel out all his money. Which they do just in time for the bank crash of 1929. (They'll probably all go to a South Sea Island together after that.)
I looked at the writing and thought, "My gosh, I haven't written this well in a long time." The writing is very thick and Gunther-Grass-ish. It is pathetic that something like this doesn't seem to have an audience. I will be retyping it in the next few weeks. If anyone wants to see a chapter or two, I will be pleased to show it in the erotic share your work thread, or maybe someone would like to beta some of it.

You've made me want to read it, even though graphic MM stuff is not my cup of tea.
