1. I’ve nearly finished my epic m/m/m (Aronnax/Conseil/Nemo) steampunk BDSM 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea story, which I hope to submit to Circlet Press for ( Read more... )

Well, I heard back from Innsmouth Free Press about that story I submitted for their all-woman Lovecraft anthology, and sadly they will not be using it. I'm not giving up on this story, though, so I'll be looking for other places to submit it.
