I got a lot done this week, story wise. Mostly it was editing: I got through the pile, including the gay erotica, and realized that a lot of them need a lot more work than I expected. This is frustrating, since it means I can't do the computer edits and submit them in a week, but on the plus side I have a stockpile of stories whenever a new magazine/anthology comes out. Before, I wrote stories specifically for markets (which I still love), but it's nice to have a safety net. I also submitted two stories, on old one and one brand new one. The other new story I wrote, "Sacrifice", is waiting for August ; ) The story was a risky one, for me. While I don't shy away from controversy, I also don't court it. I have to be in the mood to write something "edgy" and it isn't always something you can plan for. The original plot for "Sacrifice" was much tamer, and I'm really happy that it ended up the way it did. I love these characters, and I can't help but hope that I get to see them again some day.
In other news, there are one and a half months left to enter my
Grand Contest! Based on comments, I think people are going to need it. It seems that people are intimidated by how many Ranma pictures I already have. In addition, there is some confusion over which one is Ranma and which one is Show-yan. I went to find a picture of the two of them together, and realized that they actually don't stand in close proximity to each other than often.
They're both on the left. Show-yan is in the back, Ranma is in the front.

Some of the stories I haven't written for any particular market just don't seem to be able to find a home. They're quite quirky stories though so I'm hoping there'll be a spot for them one day.
Okay, now I'm excited.
Also, determined. Ranma will be MINE!
... I mean, pictures of him. Yeah. That.
(I keep looking and ending up with Ranma 1/2 pictures. Then I keep looking at Ranma 1/2 pictures. P-Chan is so cute, though! Sorry, Ryouga, but it's true.)
