fivers-dream:saccharinescorpion:so this is an extremely cool resourcethe JSTOR article by Catherine Halleya list of series at Reveal Digital holy shit this is AMAZING. This is so, so, so, SO important. I’ve been stressing out about this for ages, still do, because here’s the problem with gay lit: That copyright term that’s already so ridiculous for 90+ years after publication or death of the author? That’s three times as bad when trying to discuss a generation that was absolutely decimated by AIDS. Families didn’t keep up these copyrights! People didn’t pass down copies to their friends or their kids! There was even a tiktok going around a while back talking about how someone’s queer possessions often got destroyed after they died so their family wouldn’t find them. So this is exactly the kind of initiative that is SUPER SUPER important and that I wanna see more of. Because the few paperbacks we have are :) falling the hell apart :) and the magazines were made of even cheaper material than THAT. -- source link
