I completely get where you're coming from in what makes you write. It's why the serial LARP was such a good venue for me. It was excellent to have the constant feedback from people whose opinions I'm interested in. I also admit to being very suspicious of a writing venue that puts a large number of (likely frustrated) early novelists together, because I think that situation seems more likely to breed cliquishness than support. Have you read any Nina Kiriki Hoffman? I think she's writing in the same space you're exploring, and I really enjoyed her knack for drawing me into her characters. _The Thread that Binds the Bones_ is where I'd start.
