Hello again, everyone! This is just a reminder that all the winners for Queerly Beloved's first giveaway have been drawn; I'm pretty sure I've heard back from everyone by now, and made sure everyone has gotten their prizes, but I'll admit I may have lost track a bit on the Knit One, Girl Two giveaway, what with one thing and another. If you entered the K1G2 giveaway and haven't gotten a copy yet, please check your Dreamwidth inbox! There may be a message from me waiting for you there.
Speaking of Knit One, Girl Two, some of you may already know this, but Clara the yarn dyer from the story was inspired by a real person: Caitlin of String Theory Colorworks. If reading the story has given you any urge to do yarncraft, be sure to check out the store! Special mention goes to the Myosotis, in light blue, pink, and white matching the Trans Pride flag.
On a related note, NerdyKeppie is currently running a "Tops and Bottoms" sale to offset some recent medical expenses. The purchase of any qualifying "bottoms" (skirts, leggings, sneakers, or boots) gets the buyer a free unisex heavy cotton t-shirt! (Good through July 6th, does not stack with other offers, no coupon needed.) I'm sure everyone here has already drooled over the collection of really awesome stuff at NerdyKeppie, and it would be completely unnecessary of me to mention that they just got messenger bags added to their available inventory.
Final note, if you ended up getting any of the books, either as a prize or decided to get it yourself now that you know it exists, something really neat to do would be to leave a review of them at Amazon and/or Goodreads. It's the sort of thing that can really help an author out materially; hitting a certain number of reviews on Amazon, even just star ratings, can make a story eligible to be advertised elsewhere on the site, such as in "also-bought" sections. And if you like what you read, the authors featured in this giveaway also have other cool stories to check out!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered the giveaway, and I truly hope to do more of them in the future.
