Name: alba Genre you like to write/would like to write: Relationships of all sorts, gay/lesbian, historical fiction Link something original that you wrote (or add excerpt/short piece here), with a short description: The only thing I've posted is a short little thing about a relationship: Ratatouille (http://alba17.livejournal.com/tag/original%20fic). Anything else you'd like to tell us about your original writing: I aspire to write more, especially since I seem less interested in fan fic lately. I took a writing course a couple of years ago and I started on an idea I've had for ages for a historical novel - it takes place during WW2, on the home front and will revolve around one or more lesbian and gay characters who discover or explore their sexuality/find community as a result of the disruptions of war. I've written a few scenes about one character, a woman whose husband is away at war and she's working at a factory and meets and falls in love with another woman.
I also have a short scifi story I'd like to finish about an encounter between a human-type alien and an alien of a totally different sort, in a prison.
I've started a couple of other things that I can't really remember much about right now. I think one was about suburban parents having an affair (?), very Cheeverish, haha, not very original.
Just this week I got a new idea that excited me, about two nuns(!), don't know where that came from, but it would involve the meshing of religious passion and sexual obsession. (I'm neither Catholic nor religious.) I need to decide what historical period it would take place in and what country. If anyone's read Affinity by Sarah Waters, the feeling of that novel might be what I'd go for.
