The Early Gay Best Sellers, 1950s

image

Parts: (1930s–1940s) · (1950s) · (1960s)

Although widely regarded as a conservative and conformist period, the 1950s were the decade in which the gay rights movement truly began to assert itself in the public eye. It was also when activists began to score their first victories: in 1958, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that material referring to homosexuality is not inherently obscene — an outcome that paved the way for broader publication and distribution of gay-oriented media.

As a result, gay literature continued to gain prominence in mainstream culture, as evidenced by its increasing number of entries on The New York Times Best Seller list. Historical fiction became especially popular at the time: its distant settings, particularly in Greco-Roman contexts, provided a veil of detachment that alleviated public unease and enabled more candid depictions of homosexuality.

THIS IS SO COOL

spookyram

woah

This is from ‘Beasts of Burden’, a really cool comic about a bunch of dogs (and one cat) protecting their town from the supernatural things that threaten it. It’s spooky and sad and really just fantastic. At one point they teamed up with Hellboy. Everyone should read it (if you don’t mind some pretty dark things happening. it is not a cheerful comic but it is a good one).

Hey! So, I loved this comic, and still think about it occasionally, and tonight it was linked to me again with just the right timing so that I hyperfocused and squirreled off to go read everything! They aren’t really numbered well, but the Wikipedia page has a list of them in release order and what anthologies to find them in!

But given that it’s a pain to seek out each one one by one, I’ve got a list of links in order a smidge further down! Please try to support Dark Horse Comics if you can, but if you’re broke like me and still want to read, the Internet is a beautiful place. According to the wiki page, there are at least two more installments to come, scheduled for May 1st and June 5th, but there’s no real update schedule for the series as a whole.

Do note: they are graphic, gory, and sad, with a lot of body horror. But they’re really fantastic.

Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites contains:
1. Stray
2. The Unfamiliar
3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
4. A Dog and His Boy
5. The Gathering Storm
6. Lost
7. Something Whiskered This Way Comes
8. Grave Happenings

9. Sacrifice (Hellboy Crossover)

Beasts of Burden: Neighborhood Watch contains:
10. Food Run
11. Story Time
12. The View From The Hill (the one in this post!)

13. Hunters and Gatherers
14. What The Cat Dragged In
15. Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men

The trade collection for “Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men” came out a couple of weeks ago, btw.

“Neighborhood Watch” is due out in October and contains more stories than listed above (including the Hellboy crossover).

This is one of my favorite series ever and I’m so glad it’s finally getting proper collections instead of one-off anthology appearances.

Warning, though, the story about Hazel and her pups will *destroy* you.

hm comic to read maybe animal death

my favorite thing about tumblr is that when you’re blocked the website doesnt just tell you you’re blocked it pretends it’s glitching like you look at the dashboard view of someone whose blocked you and it’s like oh huh there’s no posts here! strange! whoopsie! try and reblog one of their posts from their desktop page it gives you an error like oh man there’s some weird stuff going on and you can’t reblog this… probably our fault idk. who knows :/ it’s so funny like we all know we’re blocked but tumblr is in this situation our mutual friend who is like [unconvincingly] “whhhattttttt……… omg nooooooo of COURSE not….” when we ask if the other bitch secretly hates us. 

oh…huh idk if this has ever happened to me maybe

Good Intentions: WIP Fest

goodintentionswipfest

Purpose:

We’ve all been there – we had the best idea for a piece of fanfic or fanart that we couldn’t resist starting … and then, for one reason or another, it just fizzled.  Maybe you got tired, or couldn’t figure out how to end it, or life interfered and sapped all motivation … but either way, that piece of work is just languishing in a folder somewhere, and every now and then you look back on it with regret that you couldn’t share it with the world.

Well, now is your chance!

Good Intentions is a fest for those WIPs that you wish you could bring yourself to share – maybe you’re looking for motivation to finish; maybe they’ve lain dormant for a long time and you still have a thread of hope for picking them up someday; maybe you’ve given up entirely but every now and then feel a flicker of regret that they can’t be shared with the world. This fest is a place for you to share as much or as little of them as you’d like, to celebrate your ideas and take a chance on one another.

Rules:

There are few rules for this fest – it’s meant to be more encouragement than anything else! You can post your projects on Tumblr, to be reblogged here (please “mention” the blog, using the @ function, so that I am assured to see it and reblog it) or to this AO3 collection. If posting to AO3, please use the tag “Abandoned Work – Unfinished and Discontinued” so that readers know what they’re getting themselves into.

Comments and conversation are encouraged! Readers may be more willing to take a chance on a WIP if they know the author is still around to discuss it – maybe to explain how it would have been finished, or why it’s not. Maybe authors will inspire one another, or some ideas might even be shuffled or traded!

The one main rule is: no harassment! The point of this fest is that these stories are perpetually unfinished; there is to be no bullying or begging of authors to finish an abandoned story, no matter how much you might want to read it! We are here to support one another and to share ideas, not to shame or bully one another. Authors, if you have strong feelings about what kind of conversation you’re willing to have with readers, please indicate as much in the author’s notes! I’m sure there will be readers with questions about how the story would have ended or what gave you your ideas, but if you’d rather not have those conversations, you’re welcome to let readers know – or to turn on comment moderation in the posting settings.  I’m hoping this fest can celebrate WIPs as they are, but also allow for the kind of author-reader interaction that is one of the best parts of fandom – but only in a generous, respectful way.

Similarly, no other forms of targeted harassment will be accepted. I don’t anticipate there being too much moderating to do here, but I would ask that you use good judgment in the abandoned works you post. (For instance, if you abandoned something because you started feeling uneasy about it in regards to race, gender, ability status, etc., I would ask that you continue to use that judgment in whether you post it now.)

Ultimately, I don’t want to try to moderate anyone’s content; this is a free space, but I ask that everyone be respectful and use good judgment in how we interact with one another.

Dates:

The collection will be open at all times, and I will reblog things on Tumblr afterwards as I am able, but the active fest will run from Monday, October 19th through Saturday, October 31st.

Other:

I have never moderated anything before, and really don’t know what I’m doing! Please feel free to send me asks here or on my main blog (@roselightfairy) if I left something out!
