Celebrating Pride in the Archives
June is quickly approaching, which means LGBTQ+ Pride Month is almost upon us. This year, we’re celebrating Pride with a special Magnus Archives event celebrating queer identities and experiences: Archival Pride!
Archival Pride starts on June 1 and will run for the rest of the month, with new prompts provided every week to help inspire you. This event aims to celebrate and encourage fanworks focusing on the LGBTQ+ identities (be they canon or headcanon) represented in the Magnus Archives. All headcanons and canon interpretations are welcome in this event, as are works that focus on characters who aren’t part of the Archives crew.
To participate, you can post on tumblr using the tag #archivalpride or pinging us @archivalpride, and can submit your work (both new and old) to the @Archival_Pride collection on AO3.
Please check out our blog for more information, including our FAQ and Rules & Guidelines!
