/lit/ - Literature

Finally saved up enough money to take a three month hiatus from work to focus on writing. 30k written, plus a finished outline of the novel. Nothing helps the writing mindset like the panicked realization that if you don't put pen to paper, you've got no choice but to go back to how things were before. (In case you couldn't tell, I don't much like my job.)

Now to spend the next few months working on my novel about a barbarian and a magician on a quest to punch a dragon in the face. There's more to it than that, obviously, but that's my favorite elevator pitch.

Have you ever gotten published /lit/?

If so, what was it about?

"The only thing more pleb than writing a novel about sparking teenage vampire romance is not writing a novel at all."

-James Joyce

Hello, /lit/. I'm an unrepentant fa/tg/uy, and we had and interesting thread the other day. Pic related. Now, I don't know what the general consensus on Twilight and other supernatural romances is here, but they're widely disliked over at /tg/. Hence me bringing my idea here.

You see, I want to write one. Well, a quirky spoof on Twilight, at least. Lots of psychological romance, without the possibility of physical intimacy, mixed with a healthy dose of action and mystery. Before I get too invested in this project, I want to ask you if this seems like a good idea.

It revolves around a young girl (16) discovering that the supernatural is real and stalking a kind mid-30's looking middle eastern man she's convinced is a Vampire. She never sees him in the sunlight, he looks the same now as he did when she was 5, people talk about him having lived in the area for a long time, and he always seems to come out of nowhere to help people when he's most needed and least expected, then walks off like nothing happened.
So she finally corners him in the tiny old book store he runs in an older part of town, and rips the curtains out of the way, to see if he sparkles, or hisses, or runs.

Just a reminder.
