A non-prompt post for @transterrorweek on James Barry, James Fitzjames, and the stories told about trans people

Text from Neo-/Victorian biographilia and James Miranda Barry : A Study in Transgender and Transgenre by Ann Heilmann

“any blue clothing you can put into the case” 

The struggle of getting tailored clothes as a trans man going stealth is real. So Francis relies on his sisters a lot. It’s not odd for them to send new clothes to their brother who’s away to sea so much.

For @transterrorweek cause trans man Crozier? Yes.

We’re back! Trans Terror Week 2022 will run November 20-26th.

This year your mods are a bit stretched thin, so I would strongly recommend coming to our Tumblr for any questions or concerns, though everything will be cross posted to Twitter. You’ll get a quicker answer on Tumblr. Additionally, thank you so much to everyone who helped us with prompt ideas and graphics!

The rules are the same a last year, detailed on our FAQ page (for the mobile accessible FAQ go here). 

Rules and Reminders:

This event is for anyone who is trans, nonbinary or is currently questioning their gender. Our goal is to uplift trans content creators in the Terror fandom and we encourage cis creators to show their support for their trans compatriots.

There is NO restriction on type of content: art, fics, edits, playlists, videos, everything is welcome!

November 20th is also for Creator Spotlights, make a post highlighting your works and we’ll give you a boost!

Please tag your works #transterrorweek/#transterrorweek2022 and/or ping us @transterrorweek to make sure we see your stuff! This applies to both Tumblr and Twitter.

Fics can also be added to the Ao3 collection. Simply search for “Trans Terror Week” when posting your fic or follow the link on our blog. Our FAQ has instructions for posting anonymously.

Prompts:

This years prompts are following the theme of “In their own voices,” and quotes from the recently released letter book May We be Spared to Meet on Earth will be paired with the titles of memoirs by trans authors. We got a few trans memoirs in 2020′s prompts, but this is a whole new selection. The expanded prompt list can be found on our Prompts page.

Day 1: In From the Wilderness - David E. Weekley | “Read these two notes and tear them up” - James Fitzjames (96)

Day 2: Tranny - Laura Jane Grace | “any blue clothing you can put into the case” - Francis Crozier (33)

Day 3: We Both Laughed in Pleasure - Lou Sullivan | “the suffocating jab of delight mingled with the fearful anticipation of the dreary void” - Charles Osmer (136)

Day 4: A Lowlife in High Heels - Holly Woodlawn | “I was surprised to see him attempt anything so risky” - Edward Couch (148)

Day 5: The Testosterone Files - Max Wolf Valerio | “I have made my cabin very snug & found it best to be my own carpenter” - James Fairholme (105)

Day 6: Exile and Pride - Eli Clare | “occasionally some few rather irksome things occur” - Harry Goodsir (53)

Day 7: Something That May Shock and Discredit You - Daniel M. Lavery | “I am wanting a promotion and a quick return to England” - Henry T.D. Le Vesconte (55)

[transterrorweek]

Thank you to everyone for a fantastic Trans Terror Week!

In addition to wonderful fic and amazing edits, we actually had couple of firsts this year. The delightful trans armfish from @dead-ghost-walking was our first fiber craft and the art of Crozier for day two from @asparklethatisblue was our first art!

As always, you are welcome to slide in late entries, I know I will be. I’ll be monitoring the tag and the Ao3 collection for a few weeks more. Thanks once again for all your great works!
