oh my fucking god, really?

OKAY TWO THINGS!

1. The Bakery AU is going to be two more chapters. Shut up, look, the chapter is pushing 12,500 and they're only just now making out. For length reasons alone, I'm gonna chop it in two and make the story six chapters long.


2. Guys. Guys. You need to share in this weirdness with me: my mother wants me to write e-book erotica. Like, she's a huge fan of this site called Elora's Cave and she keep nudging me to submit something for it, seeing how I can write a crazy amount in a short time.

And. Okay, the money would be nice, yes. But this is the LGBT section and the combination of titles and terrible covers is scaring me. WHY DON'T ANY OF YOU WEAR CLOTHES? CLOTHING CAN BE SEXY.

She thinks I should turn the Bakery AU into an original story. But, it'd need 99% more sex. To which I'm like, "uh, no? this is a fic about trust and trauma" and she's like, "make it into something about thrust and drama".

It's a weird day.

She means well, and pretty much my whole family wants me to write original fic. Mum in particular wants me to write a non-gay story she could share with Grandma, who won't read all my torrid gay sex.

Which sucks because uh. I don't find het intellectually stimulating or appealing in any way. So there's that.

But the little extra cash would be nice, TBH.

*nodnod* Yeah, absolutely, if you're going to be doing writing as a hobby anyway there's no harm in angling to get a little back for it, but if you look at it in terms of making an hourly wage...wow, does it not add up to much.

Well, if you ever write any gen... XD I share your difficulty there - my OF is pretty much all either gen or femslash, and I just don't go for het pairings much.
