lishesquexSo the results of my last poll are as follows:
Fantasy wins by a narrow margin as the genre of choice.
Most of you prefer that I write brain fluff instead of deep meaningful thingies.
Every single one of you want there to be lesbians in my novel.
The majority don't want kittens.
The majority do want Vikings.
And finally, most of you think I can actually do it. Heh.Poor deluded fools ... How very heartening!
Here's what I've actually decided to do (which may still be subject to change):
It will be historically based. Not sure if my version of history will have magic and gods in it yet, though.
It will mostly be brain fluff, but I will try for deep meaningful thingies if I am able.
There will be love between women. I have yet to decide how that'll work though - as in whether it'll be the OTP driving the plot or be maddeningly tantalizing subtext. Leaning towards the latter at the moment.
There will be no kittens.
There will be Vikings. One of the main characters will be a Viking shield maiden. I can say nothing about the other, because her origins are supposed to be A BIG SEKRIT. That is all I can tell you at the moment.
Currently I'm swinging between being excited about November 1 and wondering whether I was utterly crazy to sign up. I have a few ideas about what to write, but I don't know how far they'll take me...
Time to play WoW!
