Finished writing my novel

[Paraselene]

I finished writing it, but I still need to edit it. The editing is not going to happen until I can get a new laptop and have an apartment where I can sit comfortably to do what needs to be done. Overall, pre-editing, it is roughly eighty thousand words long; I figure it will be longer when I have edited it. As it stands, there are ninety-eight short chapters in the novel. I decided to go the short chapter route, which plenty of authors have done with their modern fiction novels lately.

The title of the novel is The Philistine.

It is male/male gay fiction with several very explicit sex scenes that one would expect to read in a porn magazine. It is from a first person perspective and there are four main characters. Three gay males and one female fag-hag. It opens with the life of a typical gay male attending high school in a small college town. Everything seems normal until a crime is committed. In no way do the main characters place themselves into the investigation, because they are just high school kids, after all, but when a seemingly supernatural twist erupts among them, they end up fighting for their lives.

The main, first person, character is an atheist and his thoughts on religion are made clear throughout the novel. He even attempts at reconciling the seemingly supernatural events unfolding before him with his view of reality, wondering if he is going insane or if the people around him are crazy.

Everything is resolved in the end, of course.

When I have finally edited it, I plan on submitting the novel to gay publishing houses.

Good luck getting it in print, Lut.

I recently read a lot of crossovers like Walking Dead x Harry Potter. Better than movies in terms of scenario in some cases. Although gay stuff in stories didn't let me open a lot of potentially good ones.

Good going! Hope you get it published Some day.

How long have you been writing it, so far?

I've only finished fanfiction stories so far, bit i'm hoping to one day finish a booklength story of my own. I have four ideas currently that i work on here and there but I can't dedicate myself to any one project and thus end up not writing much for any of them.

How long have you been writing it, so far?

It only took a couple of months to write it. Of course, I had the time since I was homeless and only working a part-time job; no frivolous distractions preventing me from writing as is usually the case.

Do they drive a van and own a gay Great Dane?

Do they drive a van and own a gay Great Dane?

Interesting parallel you've managed to notice even though it was something that had not once entered my mind during the writing process.

No van and no dog. There is a cat, though.

Awesome, Lutrinae!!! Good on you for completing an entire book! I've started several books but never was able to discipline myself enough to see one through to completion. I admire someone with the drive to do that. I know it must have taken a lot of effort.
