hrjHaving had a useful chat with my publisher about how their option clause does and does not apply to short fiction, I have some brainstorming to do about where to try "Hidebound" (current title of the concluding skin-singer story. My tentative plan is to see if I can sell it as a stand-alone then put out the collected stories myself in electronic-only format. Even better if I could find someone else who wanted to do the collection, but I doubt I have enough name-juice for that. But the online short fiction market is something that didn't really exist a few years ago and it seems likely that I could find someone who would be interested in the story itself.
And having dragged it out again, I really want to do something with "Hoywferch" (the first one of the fluffy little "Mabinogi with lesbians" pieces) but that one's going to be hard to place. Too much of a historic set-piece to fit into standard fiction pigeonholes. I had a thought that it would be really fun as a semi-graphic story: something more than illustrations but not a fully graphic-story format. Unfortunately I don't really know any artists working in that sort of format or even how one would go about looking for them. Oh well, if I were writing ordinary, easily-classifiable stuff, I wouldn't be me.
