>> I'm a Scots-Australian linguistic major by day and a poet/writer/general wordwrangler by night, <<

:D I am a wordsmith and hobby-linguist.

>> After seeing the toll that "traditional" publishing had on the person I love the most in the world, I've become a little leery of it and have dropped "being [properly] published" as a goal <<

I have found crowdfunding faster, more lucrative, and more fun. I've done the traditional thing, but it's just sooooo sloooowwwwwww. Also it's extremely repetitive. I was online spending my holiday money the other day, and this happened:

Amazon: "Besides the author you actually asked about, here are recommendations for 20 books that all sound identical."

Kickstarter: "Here is a book about an autistic Yeti. Or perhaps you'd prefer a Neanderthal comic book?"

>>Everything I write tends to be unapologetically queer or embracing unconventional love on some level. <<

Some of my QUILTBAG writing is here.

>>I don't think there's anything I wouldn't at least attempt once, actually...<<

LOL yes, me too. The prompts some people give me, they are so far out.

>> high fantasy (doesn't even have to be quality! Show me a dragon and I'm gone.) <<

Here there be dragons. You can also request more dragons during any relevant prompt call -- or any other favorite topic that fits the current theme.

I invite you to visit me blog and see if it appeals to you.
