I have a ton of short stories that I'd love to finish, iron out and send somewhere to try to get published, as well as (in the much more distant future) a few novels. I consider myself pretty rooted in the fantasy genre (with some sci-fi as well), which is what my novels would be easily classified as... but weirdly, my short stories are pretty much non-genre or simply human drama. I have one developing fantasy novel in particular that's really shaping itself, but the more I work on it, the further away from finishing it I seem.

I also write articles for a local newspaper, but that's basically limited to community events or opinion pieces.

How about you guys?

You're reading it right, definitely going for a lesbian romance. There may be some other pairings, but those two are what it's all building up to. I'm trying to finish it, but the middle bit didn't get planned out and it's giving me fits.

It's not the only lesbian romance I've written, the others just need finished or re-written pretty badly. (One is a pair of witches at a magic college vs the vampires trying to overrun the magic community, the other is another fantasy where magic selects a new 'king' every hundred years, and the woman it chose is on the run with the two other women and one man it chose to be her 'court' since the current 'king' has no intention of giving up the throne.)

Wow, nice. I write lesbian romance, too. And gay romance. Actually, my problem is that I have little interest in writing straight protagonists, if romance is included at all. I just have more fun writing gay pairings (I'm gay myself, so that might have something to do with it.)

Since I write in the fantasy/sci-fi genre, I always wonder if that's a strike against me when I get to the point of trying to publish something.

I like the witch idea, too. Please let me know if you put anything online, or even have anything published, it sounds like what you write would definitely be something I'd love to read. :D

I'm the same way with LGB romance. That's why I've been looking into small LGBT publishers who like fantasy. Seems like my best chance at getting something published.
