I’ve been working on the first 3 episodes of something that was mostly for my own enjoyment- I hadn’t really thought about publishing it until now mostly because it features a gay male MC, and from what I’ve seen from Episode, male MCs aren’t popular, nor are LGBT stories. Of course, the relative scarcity of these stories might be reason enough to publish all on its own…
A little more about the story: the main character (Jay) is closeted, a little too serious, and overall very awkward (hopefully endearingly so…). Though the plot itself deals with some heavier subject material- being closeted, impending disability, the minefield that is coming out- overall the tone has been very light and more… irreverent than dramatic. So far it’s mostly been 3 chapters of Jay accidentally choking on bagels in front of his crush-slash-best-friend and having weird dreams about a new transfer student who keeps flirting with him.
If you have any advice about whether or not there would be any interest for something like this, let me know. I’ve really enjoyed writing it, and it’s been harder to motivate myself to write without knowing what exactly my goals are.
