What are your honest thoughts on GL stories?

Genres don't matter as much as a good story with well-written characters.

They're best if not exploitive. If two or more girls love each other, I'd rather it be one of two ways; as childhood friends who mature to physical attraction, or through chance encounters with erotic passion. I get tired of the GL stories that seem to bang the message over our heads, without style and substance for the meaning behind the GL. Good tip for writers, actually. *^^*

Male author here writing GL. My protagonist's relationship (non-harem) is so wholesome and secure and communicative that I've had multiple comments from readers in relief at finding a story where the characters actually talk to each other instead of randomly hiding things for plot reasons.

You are one of the few good ones.
