Literary Novels?

Anyone post more "literary" (as opposed to "genre") novels on Tapas?

I know "a story is a story" no matter the genre or form, but I'm wondering if this would be a good community to post something that has less plot/action and more time in the head of an addled, teen addict (my mature, young adult WIP).

Guess I should just post episodes and see what happens. However, if you have any thoughts or experience or interest in something literary, I'd like to hear about it.

Thx.

PS. If you have literary stories posted, tag it here, and I'll check you out.

I think mine sort of caregorise as that? I certainly am trying to be even if the genre itself is romance. It goes very deep into the psychology of anxiety, PTSD and depression, so although not like addiction, I think it has a more literary side to it.

Posted a contemporary novel, it did find its audience, I think it's possible to do well on here no matter the genre/writing style, despite some genres being more popular.

As you say though, there's no harm in giving it a go! Good luck with your novel!

I should add my novel has found moderate success and following, but that may be because of the genre/technically being BL. I still think there is an audience for more serious work, since the site is pretty crowded with mediocre novels, so anything that stands out can do well.
