Oh dearest me I know, I really know. This question stirrs my little heart too, so much so you just had to ask didn't you?
Mental instability I'm displaying aside, my next work has been completed for quite some time already. Unfortunately, publishers who accept submissions haven't panned out in the giving a flying shit department, and my previous publisher has well, other issues at hand.
Worse yet it apparently murders recipients. This is a SLIGHT setback, as receiving even mere feedback before notices of suicides or funeral arrangements has been spotty at best.
Any publisher with poor judg-, an open mind, is welcome to contact me for a submission of it. Hell, at this rate any suicidal readers are welcome too as I've almost given up on this work seeing the light of day and have begun another - perhaps mildly less murderous - work.
(Also, it's probably terrible, but I think my friend circle largely died before they figured that out so win-win.)

There is! I've a lofty little manuscript "completed" for some time now, the only knicker in my knackers is my dearest publisher is on "Hiatus" and finding another is proving.........less than delightful.
For now I sling it about to any open markets and agents like some sort of literary whore. Hopefully I'll find someone keen soon, or my previous publisher will sort of........undie.

... or do I really like this? On the other hand it's great that you have something ready but on the other hand it's pretty sad that you don't have a publisher. Maybe I should buy another copy of USU to help on my part to pique some interest? Oh well... Thanks for the answer and I'm sure you will get the new one published!

Oh man, it's depressing to see how old this exchange is.
What's more depressing is I still haven't found a publisher for that completed work. Even get Oh man, it's depressing to see how old this exchange is.
What's more depressing is I still haven't found a publisher for that completed work. Even getting FRIENDS to read it seems impossible.
This is mostly because they mysteriously die after I sent it.
Pretending that was a joke and not ACTUALLY WHAT SOME FREAKING HOW HAPPENED, I did slap this work to about 100 or so publishers that accepted submissions, none had the decency to even reject it.
It exists! It persists! It might be utter shit! It might be cursed shit killing people! BUT IT EXISTS!
(Though, at this point I'd email the manuscript to anyone who asked. I've no fear of my garbage getting stolen.) ...more
