"I didn't make him for YOU!"
Feb. 15th, 2007 02:23 pmSo, on the advice of many, I have begun shopping around some of my older work to newer venues. I've been reposting the Journal Entries to usenet, twice a week (Monday and Thursday), and I've been posting Aimee' to Stories Online. I'm going to have to figure out how to automate the process for SOL, because while there are only 10 chapters to the first Aimee' novel, the Journal Entries serial is 290 episodes even before I add any.
It's only been a week, so I've received all of one piece of email from the SOL crowd. The gist of the email was simple: Nobody on SOL was ever going to read Aimee because while there might be girls and dragons later on, the M/M scenes in the first three chapters were "too disgusting" for anyone to bother reading more.
Ah, well. There's a lot of competition on SOL, and there are a number of "open" universes there as well, where writers have been building out the series with their own notions and, of course, pecadillos.
I much prefer people who enjoy all the polymorphous perversity in my writing. Much better than one pompous homophobe.
