Every so often, I remind myself that I write stories XD good ones, bad ones, mediocre, epics...I write. I've always loved writing. Sometimes, though, I find the urge to write...hard...to come by. But...even so, ironically, I just go write something else! That doesn't make sense to anyone but me, but oh well.
Anyway, I was just thinking...I've written or attempted to write a lot of...gay fiction. Slash, man-man, pr0nz, yaoi, boy's love, whatever you want to call it. There's not much more fascinating to sexually confused 13 year old girls than 2 men gettin' it on, plot or no plot. And for a long time I fell into that. Then I got overly ambitious and, a few Ernest-Hemingway-meets-Tolkien epics later, I decided to tone that shit down. It's been working, one paragraph at a time.
So I was reminiscing on all the bad male-porn I've written and realized, "Hey, why don't I write any femslash?" I mean, there's no reason for me not to. I think I attempted it a few times but it never seemed to get off the ground much, or not in the way that I wanted. Even more neglected is just good ol' fashioned man-on-woman action. Why? Why-oh-why?
Well, instead of complaining about it or pondering the great questions, I figured I'd remedy it eventually. Most of the stories I'm working on now that might involve the Sexing are either slash-related or, strangely enough, androgynous/ambiguous, so I don't have to choose.
This is all, eventually, going to lead me into my obsession with eye-color. I love weird eyes. I love weird eye colors. I love blue eyes, violet eyes, green eyes, even brown eyes--I love eyes in general, but there's just something about those rare eye colors.
I want to do something to remedy, in a way, or nourish my love of strange eye colors. And my love of femslash. And...man slash, and het, and ambiguous!sex and just all kinds of things, but I also have to stop myself from getting so ambitious that shit just doesn't get done. So I'll mull on it...until it magically happens.
