I've read quite a lot of stories, even dared to send feedback to the occasional author. I offered my services as an editor, then the author I worked with and I got to talking, I sent him one of my rough drafts and got a resounding "You totally should post that". I did, intended as a one-off, and now, six years later, I'm staring at 37 submissions. So much for one-shots.
Why do I write? For the same reason I run pen&paper roleplaying games. I love to tell stories. And while the interactivity and unpredictability of a gaming session is its own, fantastic beast for storytelling, some tales are better told alone, without fear of embarrassment.
Right now, with my Geek Pride Day submission done, I'm thinking about taking the plunge and publish commercially. The amount of extra work looming ahead, especially that self-promotion bullshit, scares me though. And I certainly don't have the cash for an agent.
