The blog home of erotic fiction author, Jacqueline Applebee. Black sexuality, smutty snippets and more. Contains adult concepts. For Over 18's only. My main writing website is at Writing in Shadows. *
Photos from the Sharing Tongues project. Rukus run an archive of black LGBT experiences in the U.K. The event was really positive. I thought I’d be the only bisexual person there, but I was wrong!
Do you know how rare it is to see non-white LGBT people represented anywhere in the U.K? Very rare. So I jumped at the chance to be involved with Sharing Tongues. The project is ongoing, so if you think you can contribute, please contact Rukus!
Rukus is housed within the London Metropolitan Archives, a beautiful space in Islington.
Response to letter to JMS Books
Unfortunately, we don’t have any editorial staff able to address stories that contain sex between genders. Also, my own marketing expertise lies in gay or lesbian promo, and I don’t think I could adequately promote a book whose sexual content is between a man and a woman. Other presses can handle that better than us at this point in time. I’m sorry.

That’s the response I received. My question still stands: Why not call it GLT if that’s what it is?
My least stressful Pride London ever! Apart from the fact that I had an hour to get home after the march, then shower, change, eat, breathe, and finally make my way to an erotic storytelling session at Sh! There was a huge bisexual turnout, and I personally didn’t receive any biphobic crap this year (although I heard a friend of mine did).
Wonderful moments of the day involved getting randomly whipped by a woman and wrapping myself up in the massive bisexual flag. I also managed to not recognise someone I snogged at BiCon, but she was very gracious with her reminder…
Looks a bit empty to start with, but the article page is definitely worth a look as it is full of interesting things. They also have a discussion forum and personals. Seems a bit male biased, but I still think it is a good resource.
Symon Hill is doing something outstanding.
“In the summer of 2011, I will walk from Birmingham to London (in Britain) as a pilgrimage of repentance for my former homophobic attitudes and behaviour.”
Symon will be stopping off at churches along the way, giving talks and attending worship. I wish him all the best. If he makes it out of North London in one piece, he’ll have my total respect.
Lots of events on LGBT history in London by Untold London, although they use the word bi-sexual quite a bit (grrr…). The events are mostly free or a small fee. There is a Joe Orton workshop on Thursday 2nd, and a writing workshop on Saturday 4th December.
