I've been kicking around something and thought I'd throw it to a poll here. As you may know, my roommate has been unemployed for a bit, with no job opportunities on the horizon. As a result, I'm looking into some alternate income streams. I'm considering self publishing a few short stories under this pen name, and wanted to know if there would be any interest.



These would be short works (under 10,000 words). They would be completely original male/male. There is a possibility of a menage or two with male/male/female interaction. These could be teen rated to adult, depending on the story.

Just me: Would you be interested in purchasing any originals. If so, what would be the highest price point you'd consider? Would there be any genres you'd specifically want to read, or themes and genres you would not? Would you read serialized stories--multiple books featuring the same characters and emotional arc?

Thanks so much for your input.

I'd say, under normal circumstances, I'd give anything you write a go, but since I don't even read all of your NCIS fanfic (Gabby, for example), I'd be lying. ;)

I think Ash explained it beautifully. I'm in the slash business because of the guys. I may be less likely to read about people I have no emotional connection to.

That said, I have read your original stuff and enjoyed it a lot, so chances are I'd give new stuff a definite go! :)

Funny thing is that the books I'm usually reading aren't heavy on Teh Smex (slash or het) at all. So I'm guessing this really is only interesting for me when fandom characters are involved. How weird is that? ponders*

As for the price, considering that it's standard to pay a buck for a thousand words for charity, I'd say you're cheap. *g* (And how much do I love that you call "under 10,000 words" a "short" story! LOL)
