#WordWeavers Mar. 6 – If you have several stories, which one should a new reader start with?
A Very Long Malaise is as good a starting point as any for those who would like to read about premodern working-class lesbians in Asia, especially since it also comes in audio. https://alpennia.com/blog/lesbian-historic-motif-podcast-episode-301-very-long-malaise-lj-lee A spiritual prequel, Between One Word and the Next, is also upcoming this year, based on a historical record of enslaved women in love with each other.
Those who like transfeminine heroines in antiquity and classical narrative poetry might enjoy A Maiden's War, a trans Mulan retelling. https://corvidqueen.com/stories/a-maidens-war-lj-lee I put "temporary detransition" in content notes, but per excellent content on my timeline this telling actually makes her TRIPLE TRANSGENDER.
