This particular piece isn't necessarily going to be a full-on novel (maybe more like a novella), but I do have another on the backburner that needs something and looks like it could be a novel.

I think with the NaNo piece I already have romance and commentary on the evolution of social/gender/sex issues in an alien society going on (the two are intermixed in this case). XD Trying to find a subplot that would work with that without being a "whoo, just throwing this in there for timefiller! :D" vibe is difficult.
