So I'm writing a series called "after the island" and it's on AO3 and it started out as one thing and rapidly turned into a series of stories about being queer in the '70s. Which inevitably will lead to a series of stories about being queer in the '80s. And everything that entailed, which was brutal. I'm not going to lie. I was born in the '60s and having the opportunity to write about people and places that aren't with us anymore has come to mean a great deal to me and I'll probably be writing this series until the day I die even if people stop reading it. Lol.
I just hope that the world never goes back to a lot of the dark places the queer community has been in my lifetime and I hope I'm able to get across the joy we experienced as well as the pain.
I also hope that should the world take a turn for the worse, these stories will be helpful to somebody out there the way they would have been to me back in the day.
I think I will always write this series with love and remembrance until I myself am in need of remembrance. โค๏ธ
