You might see something by me in there… go support this awesome project if you can!
This is your chance to order a copy (esp if you want to collect at RDC7) and help support the costs of us sending free copies to our contributors.
You have until the end of May to pledge!
Including all the great art, fics, essays and more contained in the (soon to be unpublished) first edition, we're thrilled to include over 30 new works. With more fics, essays, personal pieces, memes, tattoos and a lot more art.
Adapt Evolve Become: The Genderqueer Fandom of NBC's Hannibal, second edition, will publish July 2025 and backers have the option to pick up their copy in person at Red Dragon Con 7 in London if attending.
Stretch Goals: Currently we just have the two pledge options - postage or collection - but should we meet the funding goal we will look into producing stretch goals for everyone such as stickers, bookmarks and postcards.
No digital copy: There won't be a digital copy available as part of this Kickstarter as we plan to release a digital copy free online the same as the first edition.
BACK NOW!
On 12 March 1990, dozens of disabled people descended on the US Capitol and carried out a protest which became known as the Capitol Crawl. Participants were protesting against the stalling of a proposed law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which would prohibit discrimination against disabled people. Around 1000 other protesters watched and cheered while dozens of members of ADAPT, a group campaigning for public transit access for disabled people, abandoned their wheelchairs and mobility aids and began crawling up the steps of the building housing Congress. It was a powerful illustration of the difficulties faced by many disabled people faced with a hostile environment which had been constructed without their needs in mind. Michael Winter, one of the participants later reflected: “Some people may have thought it was undignified for people in wheelchairs to crawl in that manner, but I felt that it was necessary to show the country what kinds of things people with disabilities have to face on a day-to-day basis. We had to be willing to fight for what we believed in.” In the wake of the protest, Congress passed the bill and it was signed into law in July 1990. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2229212140597257/?type=3
I’m gay because of whatever Spike, Drusilla and Angel were doing on my screen at a formative age.
I’m also a masochist for the same reason!
There's something about the tmagp characters' motivations, and who they're willing to sacrifice, and how the people or things they prioritise act towards them, and how it goes for them.
Because
Celia is willing to sacrifice Sam, who loves her and who she genuinely does care about, to stay with Jack. And then there's a moment where she isn't sure she can go through with it, and she loses him anyway without having to act, and she'll probably never know exactly what choice she would have made in the end, even though she's consciously planned this for weeks.
Alice straight up abandons Teddy and Colin, who are both Not Doing Well, when they are explicitly asking her for help, to go and protect Sam, who has told her not to come after him. It's barely a decision for her - she quite clearly stops thinking about anything or anyone else.
Sam finds out that Celia betrayed him and STILL puts himself in danger to protect her. And ends up falling through the gap to another world, which is exactly what she was planning to do to him.
Gwen throws Lena under the bus the moment the opportunity comes up, purely for the sake of her own ambition, which is part of a broader pattern of decisions. And it's immediately obvious when she gets what she wanted that it's only going to go badly for her.
Idk idk it's the love and the need and the want of it all, and the ruthlessness that can come out of it, and the way they make or don't make their choices, and the consequences of it aaaaaa
“i’m straight” the straight:
fuck you. [breaks you down into your base elements and deletes them one at a time]
the enormity of my desire is totally fine and manageable and good for me
