Don't worry; you're titles don't sound Twilight-ish in the extreme. Besides they seem to have sold rather well. Are you dead set against become a world bestseller or something? (There's not all that much blood in them, I'm afraid. And, btw, unless you've read them, no automatic sneering at ahytthing please, because if there's one thing that makes me glare, it's that sort of automatic assumption about stuff. Yes, they are, um, well... special, I agree. If you've read them, I forgive you, otherwise, please be warned. I will glare. You can't see it, but it's scary. Honest. :lol:)
Well, your dscription of yours makes me want to read it, and I really haven't felt moved to want to read fantasy for ages. I made a deliberate decision to only read children's fantasy, because adult was so trammelled by cliches, and children's wasn't. Of course, that came with the job description at the time, too.
You know you're going to write what you want to write anyway; you keep saying as much! The 'market' as you're looking at it is last year's trends, if not two-three years' trends ago. The publishers will be looking for the next thing by now. And in fantasy that yours fits naturally into a trilogy in your head is only a bonus.
Hmm... Maybe you should save the retro TW for when you run off with the ieda and turn it into original fic? :lol: Sontarans up the jungle you can't, so you had better finish it. I think akashasheiress would say so!
