Improving access to old public domain slash

Signal-boost: garonne has completed the Gutenberg ebook of The Wounded Name by D K Broster, from 1923. Download if you want epic slashy hurt-comfort set during the Napoleonic wars.

And I, on my part, have completed my Librivox audiobook of White Cockades by Edward Prime-Stephenson, from 1887. Download if you want melodramatic and historically dubious slash set in 18th century Scotland. We can be pretty sure it is meant as m/m, since the author recommended his own book as an example of homoerotic fiction under another pen name. : ) ETA: And thanks to garonne for prooflistening for me!

Hooray to both :D

Aww, I'm delighted to see the White Cockades audiobook! That book is so much fun, dubious history and melodrama and all, I ought to give it a re-read at some point.

We're doing some good work. : ) How is Imre going, by the way?

[regshoe]

It's going well! I've sorted out some of the more mysterious formatting issues, and I've just started working on the html today—which is the most fun bit, I think. :D

Hurrah for making it much easier to rec The Wounded Name to everyone! And also I forgot to say before, thank you for introducing me to libriovox. My partner listens to loads of audiobooks and it's been such a great source of new ones for him.

Yes, I'm so glad garonne put in the work on that! I mean, I have an autographed first edition of it, but it's not like everyone can get that. : )

Glad your partner is enjoying Librivox!

Oooh! I've been looking forward to downloading The Wounded Name from Gutenberg, so thank you for linking that! (Also conveniently I've almost finished The Flight of the Heron, so it will be nice to have another Broster lined up...)

[luzula]

Oh good, I'm glad it's finding readers! Also, looking forward to your thoughts on Flight of the Heron. : )
