I'm also here by way of
smw. I've been looking for a good, casual writing community around these parts for awhile now that's not fanfiction (I have no problem with fanfic! But I only rarely read/write it) or critique group. I love to talk shop, and support/encourage, but having disabilities that have cognitive impact, I haven't as much time for critiquing as I would like, plus for my own work I have a lot of folk who help me out there already. :)
So! About moi.
I am a polyamorous pansexual kinky pagan disabled childfree feminist goth geek writer chick living in the Seattle area with my husband, boyfriend, six cats, and one snake. I write primarily fantasy, although I have dabbled in other genres. Pretty much everything I write has some fantastic element or another.
I recently finished an urban fantasy with queer characters in almost all the leading roles; the only one who wasn't queer in some way was the antagonist, actually. I love the book, but it needs a lot of editing, which I'm setting aside until after Nano.
For Nano, I'm finally going to write an idea I've had for ten years. My protagonist is a young woman, abused by her family, who ends up committing suicide. In her post-apocalyptic magical world, suicide is illegal, and so she is raised as a zombie to carry out her sentence. In prison, she meets the love of her life, a black woman busted for drugs. It's a different kind of story than the "must save the world" plots you see all the time; it's about their lives and how they find each other and how they continue their lives after getting out of prison. With zombies. It should be fun! :)
So, um, I think that's enough of an introduction. Nice to meet you all! :)

Date: 2011-10-19 04:44 pm (UTC)Wait, no I don't. But you posted in the Nano forums 20s Lounge--probably in the queer thread? That's the one I've kept up best with. I remember your plot! It sounds way cool except I don't like zombies >.> I haven't posted about my Nano plot, mostly because I haven't picked one... and am probably going to do three...
But you seem awesome, and yay for urban fantasy with lots of queer characters. Nice to meet you.

Most zombie fiction/movies are campy and silly or scary, and that's really not my thing. Mine is more along the lines of dark and serious, with a strong slice of weird.
