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!
Q: How much does it cost to join?
A: Membership is on a subscription basis (recurring charge) for the new low price of only $7.99 a month with unlimited access to all areas of the site. You may cancel at any time. Or, you may save even more money by purchasing a discounted 3-month membership for $19.99. New! Now available is a lifetime subscription option granting unlimited access to the site for the lifetime of the user. As with all products, refunds on subscriptions will only be granted if the site closes or I fail to provide the weekly update. However JF has been running without problem since 2002 so you may join with confidence.
