Signal Boost: Scheherazade's Facade Kickstarter
I backed my first Kickstarter project this weekend, so I'd like to see it succeed!
Scheherazade's Facade
Man, that's a hard name to type.
"History, literature and mythology are replete with stories of those who, for one reason or another, disguise themselves as the opposite gender, or are transformed into that which they are not. Whether it's for love, ambition, or self-preservation, whether it's to challenge the status quo or simply to embrace their true nature, whether it's done willingly or thrust upon them, there will always be those who cross-dress and blur the lines between genders. Scheherazade's Facade takes its inspiration from those themes. From Bugs Bunny's dress-wearing shenanigans, to Mulan's impersonation of her father, from Tamora Pierce's Alanna of Trebond, to M*A*S*H's Klinger, this collection's antecedents are everywhere."
TOC:
" * Alma Alexander-- "The Secret Name of the Prince"
* C.S. MacCath -- "The Daemons of Tairdean Town"
* Paolo Chikiamco -- "Kambal Kulam"
* Tiffany Trent -- "Driftwood"
* Melissa Mead -- "Pride"
* Tanith Lee-- "Keeping the World on Course"
* Aliette de Bodard -- "A Bitter Taste"
* Lyn C.A. Gardner -- "Going Dark"
* Sunny Moraine -- "The Cloak of Isis"
* Shanna Germain -- "How to Dance While Drowning"
* Sarah Rees Brennan -- "Treasure and Maidens"
* David Sklar -- "Lady Marmalade's Special Place In Hell"
"
If you think this sounds pretty darned cool, head on over to read the full write-up.
