I have yet another question about manuscript placing. This one, I hope, is a little easier. The ms I have is romance, no doubt about it. It centers around the hero and heroine being together despite obstacles and has a wonderful HEA. Perfect, right? Er, not quite. Here's the background to the story. (Please bear with me, folks) My husband and I are avid Dungeons & Dragons fans. We've played together with friends for almost our entire marriage and in many cases, the Dungeon Masters created sub-plots to their campaigns to cater to me and my husband. (ie We're married in RL, so our characters were romantically involved) Throughout the different campaigns--one I was Dungeon Master for--these storylines intrigued me and I decided to write a romance novel based on our games and the characters involved. The continent is made up, the cities are 50% made up (I used some of my own and used some from the campaigns) but the Gods are all from Dungeons & Dragons. The creatures my MCs face are from D&D, etc.
Now, what I want to know is, do I send this ms to a RPG publisher or a romance publisher that accepts fantasy romances? Both are viable options, but I'm not so sure a RPG publisher would appreciate the fact the story is a romance. Someone, anyone, please, pretty please with a slice of cheesecake on top, help me? Thank you so much ahead of time!
