Queer Victorian research

[saintdionysus]

I've been working on compiling a comprehensive guide to Polari, queer sub-cultural information, and mlm terminology that's period appropriate to the late Victorian age. Which is a massive undertaking. While there a lot of available information on cisgender lesbians in the Victorian age, there is a great lack on information available in regards to queer men of the age, for obvious reasons. So, I am deep in the research hole at the moment, but I've collected a mass of information and I'm working on getting more and organizing it in a Scrivner document (fun fact: scrivner, is actually comes from a Polari term!)

Once I "finish" with the document, I can post it here, if anyone is interested? I figure it would be helpful for Holmes fanfiction and pastiche writing, at the very least.

I'd find it interesting.

I'll be updating my progress on it in my daily logs, I think! When it's finished I'll be sure to let you know, though it's become a much larger project than I originally intended. So it might be a while!
