There's travelrotica 2 and Sex by the Book, Flesh to Flesh, TWO superqueeroes anthologies and a mainstream fantasy pirate thing. There's a big gay historical competition. There's even an "Untrue Lesbian Stories" which (if I wasn't squicked death by girl bits) I could have a go at, as it would, at least, be untrue, but I'm word-less. Considering I've yet to sell a "mainstream" piece I'm hesitant to start something that won't sell, and yes yes know that's Not The Attitude...
It's not that I'm not BUNNIED, I've got idea bunnies in cages waiting attention, rampant gay bunnies (that so needs an icon) historical bunnies, Indian sub-continent bunnies, gay space bunnies, ghost bunnies even, but nothing is getting written. The only thing I feel like writing is a humorous piece about a were-wolf wannabe (or a Morgan Hawke spells it, wan'na-bee).
What is it with shifting stories, anyway? I've seen were-pythons, were-wolves by the bucket load, were-cats, were-kittens. I thought they were a phenomena of fandom, but it seems they are even more popular out here in original land. All I can say is, thank God that MPreg isn't also as popular. Although,
gehayi and I agree, there IS one MPreg story that both of us found brilliant and that's Enemy Mine.

Date: 2006-10-11 12:33 pm (UTC)I have 4 major stories going at the moment, and am noodling for Nano. I considered "Sex by the Book" because I have a really hot one set in a library. Except he's wanting realistic and this is kinda SF-ish. And I want to do Superqueeros (Activist Dyke Mom to the Rescue!) but time is getting eaten.
It's funny, I love Paul and Dan, but I'm not a big fan of werewolves. Like zombies I find them actually scary. They contributed to a LOT of nightmares as I grew up, and I'm still uneasy out of doors at night.
(and all this after actually sleeping with one--VERY long story)

Sometimes when I've got too many bunnies, I shut down. Being overwhelmed with inspiration can be as bad as not having any at all, I think.
