This kickstarter is not specifically queer but in an update it does highlight a queer traditional tale from Wales. Course looks interesting to me just because I enjoy folk tales.
Hooray! We are past 50% in our campaign. Thank you, everyone!
Today Cheryl is off to Aberystwyth for the October Queer Lit Quarterly meeting. In honour of that, today's update tells the very queer story of our cover. (Content warning for sexual assault.)
