I know that feeling. If I don't figure out what I'm doing with a story long term I run out of steam, especially with multi-chapter stories, which is why I have so few of them. I feel like I have to write the entire multi-chapter fic before sharing any of it, and that gets hard because here you are working away with no way to bounce ideas around with other people.
I had Draco as a prominent character in the story anyway, and since I've been in this gender class I've been thinking, why wouldn't it be just as normal for Harry to be attracted to men over women? And since I've never written Harry's character in that way I kind of wanted to explore it.
It does bother me when I work hard on a story and, because its gen or has an odd pairing, people don't read it. Inside I'm thinking: just give it a chance!
