I'm back, and a poll, and stuff

[sigune]

I was away from LJ for a while, due to work-related RL horrors (well, nothing seriously horror-y, it was just me stressing out), and I have some catching up to do - including answering some 50 comments to my "Knave of Spades" post. Life should be a bit more quiet for a while, and I'll do my best to reply :-).

In the meantime I have a poll for you. I guess - well, I have set up a blog for my original work over at Blogspot (it's here, and it has one viewer, if a very dear one *g*), and I am trying to make out how I am going to develop it, and whether I will double-post. So far there is nothing there that hasn't appeared here first, but I might change that. The poll is just to gauge your interests and satisfy my curiosity, not about how I can increase my readership or something ;-). So if you feel like ticky boxes...


[Poll #1088754]

Thanks! :D

I do definitely want to see more of "War in Gaul" and more original stuff; I would also totally love to see more (both fic and drawings) of Severus, Brynhild and the children. Where's teenage Xander? :)

I would actually like to see more on Oscar Wilde, too, though he wasn't one of my top picks. But he's definitely interesting to me.

As to the original stuff (particularly "War in Gaul", which I'm hoping you'll find a publisher for someday), at the publishing seminar I attended, I was told it was generally better not to post more than approximately ten percent of any novel/book you hoped to publish 'officially". But I''m sure sketches would be okay.

Basically, I like your stuff. And I strongly approve of anyone who gives Severus a future and a life outside that little box called "Deathly Hallows".

Thank you! I know that most people watch my page just for Snape; but if I ever want to do anything with my drawings, it's not going to be Snape-related, and it's great to know that some people are interested in that too *g*.

I see why I should not post too much of what I hope to get published, but I do wonder how realistic it would be to hope for publication at all... But you have a good point, and I will certainly give that issue thought when I start to produce actual pages. At the moment I am still firmly in the preparatory stage - there is so much I need to learn, write and lay out before I can even think of drawing the first page! :D The historical side alone requires a lot of research, and then there are the techniques I still need to master... Until my craft is good enough, I don't stand a chance of publication anyway.
