I'm seriously thinking about penning some original porn to submit to anthologies (epublishing or hardcopy, I'm not fussy).

I've not read a lot of pro-fic porn before. Can anyone recommend books (again, ebooks welcome) to get a taster of what's good out there?

Any recommendations for where it's good to submit such things, or experience in this arena that you'd like to share, are also most welcome.

TY, flist!

Ah, new fandom squee has saved my evening from being a total bust. (*smish*!)

Especially because, zomg, all the DH4 ideas that were floating around in my head have just coagulated into a solid, workable idea. There is action! espionage! romance! and rescues! The idea, it is EPIC. And I think I can do it. I WILL do it, dammit.

But I'll not say any more about it here just yet. I don't want to jinx myself. That is how I roll, baby.

*squees into fists*

I've starting writing my story for ontheroadzine, and have done over 3000 words already! The limit for the zine is 15,000 words; if i keep going as I am, I have a feeling it's going to be *too* long. Ah well, I've got until October at any rate, plenty of time to decide/edit/write something else.

It's pretty good. Writing this way, I mean. I mean I've had this story kicking around for a little while; this way I *am* actually able to just write it out in my down-time, instead of hurryhurryhurry writeandpostitNOW kinda thing. I wrote 3000 words of thesis yesterday, and 3000 words of fanfic in the evening. I feel good.

Anyway, it's a John-centric story, which you wouldn't have convinced me I'd be doing a month ago. Field of Mars was really damn hard to get the voice and characterisation for - both because John is emotionally unavailable and because the trouble with writing intelligent characters into conflict is that you have to outsmart them. And that can be a delicate/difficult thing to construct.

ANYWAY.

I've been strangely excited by the idea of this gen zine, god knows why. Maybe it's that time of year again, I'm having nostalgia, a revisionist reminiscence where all I remember is the glee of getting a bunch of authors I like to write for me me meee, so I can hold all their hotass stories in my hot little hands.

So, if I were running the gen SPN zine the same way I ran Lotripping, this'd be my wishlist for authors (in alphabetical order):

- eighth_horizon
- ignipes
- janissa111
- lyra_wing
- marinarusalka
- maygra
- minkmix
- monkeycrackmary
- onelittlesleep
- poisontaster
- trollprincess

with, of course, illustrations by _audrey, blondiusmaximus and the_dean_show.

So, favourite gen authors, if you love me you'll GET CRACKING! get thee to ontheroadzine!
