wherein Liz regretfully defaults on lgbtfest (kinda-sorta)

[edenfalling]

So clearly I failed at lgbtfest this year. I knew I was nuts to sign up.

However! I do have 1,300 words written toward the prompt I chose, and a clear idea where the story is going. It's just been... well, it keeps trying to be about semi-feudal politics and not about sexual orientations. I am not sure how much of that is because Astrin Ymris is a very private person, and how much is because I am apparently less comfortable than I thought writing specifically about my own sexual orientation (aromantic asexual).

Fortunately there will apparently be an option to write to prompts outside of the official fest timeframe, and a place to post links to those stories.

So I am going to keep writing, because I think "The Body Politic" is both a story worth telling in its own right, and something I need to work on as part of dealing with my own issues.
