Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast 2019 Short Fiction Series

[hrj]

 One of the hardest things about launching a project is seeing it fail for lack of interest. This is the last day for submissions to the LHMPodcast 2019 short fiction series and currently I don't have enough submissions to fill all the slots in the series, much less having enough after going through a selection process. If you've been holding on to your story thinking, "Nah, there's no point, she won't be interested," please don't self-reject! At this point, it looks like I may end up cancelling the fiction series due to lack of interest. And not even lack of listener/reader interest, but lack of interest in writing these stories.

Everyone tells me there's a hungry desire for lesbian historical fiction. It's a tough field to find an audience for, but I have the audience all lined up and listening to my podcast. All I need is the fiction to offer them.

I've been trying to perform "public positivity" about this so as not to put people off, but this is it: the last day. So I'm letting the desperation show.

Maybe the time of year isn't helping? I've been snowed under since the beginning of December and am only just getting back into writing now.

I've been publicizing the CfS for the last 4 months.

Ah, I didn't register that it was that long :( That is disappointing, I was looking forward to being part of the audience too.
