Scorpion Fiction

Feb 13, 2010 15:20

So as some of my lj friends may already know, I've finally started writing again. And it's NOT fanfic *gasp!* This is totally unheard of for me. I have FINALLY come up with an original idea that agrees with so many of my sensibilities. All the elements of the fandoms I love (Phantom, VC, greek mythology,general victorian gothic literature, opera buffa, etc) that drove me to write for them are what I wanted to find in some original story that I could make my own and have stand alone.
I want to make this story something serious that I can try to sell, so I'm not just writing it for fun and indulgence, despite how indulgent the subject matter may be to me.
However, the fanfic writer in me still wants to share every last bit of it as I work through it. I'm not sure if this is an ultimately wise idea, and I definitely don't feel I should post it online at large like I used to on fanfiction.net and sanguingenuity and such. What I was considering was making a blog or ljgroup or something just for those few of my friends who might be interested in reading along, and sharing it there.
So consider this prodigal lj post my offer! Let me know, and I will be so very thrilled to share! I won't have any expectations of the readers, though feedback is always much appreciated, and I love discussion. It would really just be so that I could keep myself from exploding with having to keep it all to myself. It would also help motivate me to higher production speed as well as, I'm sure, give me a sense of accomplishment to provide frequent updates and know that friends of mine might perhaps graciously receive such things.
Anyhow, if anyone out there still reads my LJ after I haven't posted in it for almost a year, comment and let me know if you're interested, and I'll whip something up!
