erastesSale!
I'm very happy about this one - it's to Cleis press for their "City Boys" anthology (now renamed) - my first sale to that particular publisher, and it's the most "underlucius-y" thing I've dared to write since leaving fandom. I'm sorry, but a lot of you won't know what that means. Underlucius was the name I had in fandom and I was dabbling with a strange literary style. this piece has elements of that, although not completely. I'm surprised and pleased as punch that this one - out of the three I submitted to Cleis last month - has been picked up. If it had to be any of the 3, I'm most happy it's this one. *sits on thumbs for the other two*
I'm not doing well with the Vampire fic. I haven't heard from the anthologist who commissioned it, and I'm not sure if it's still needed, and frankly I could kick my protag in the face, and that's not good.

I'm very happy to have a look at what you submitted if you want?
