I was one of the people in the panel ("how much sex can you put in it?", heh) at con_txt and I did later think of another question... I have a book that's SF/F but the main plot is a gay romance, and the action plot is really secondary; is that worth trying to sell as SF/F? What I got out of the panel was "sell that book to Ellora's Cave or Loose Id, and write another one that's not a romance". But I was curious to ask, do successful authors ever dig up old books, edit them, and publish them once they're successful enough to get away with bending genres?
