What I've thought about doing is release a sample chapter or two onto DeviantArt and see how things go. With a nice cliffhanger at the end of the last sample chapter just to tease.

I looked at the "novel" again a couple of days ago and thought, hmm, maybe without the pressure of NaNo I should re-outline it to whatever length it actually needs to be, instead of trying for 50k minimum.

That's the trouble with NaNo, not every story is 50,000 words long. I'm looking at 35k or so for my current project.

* for some values of "sex scenes." It's sci-fi, and there's only one human involved.
