I’ve set up a community on LJ where we can discuss all the things that might be involved in the m/m authors and readers meeting in Ely. Hopefully it can be used to arrange car shares and anything else that needs to be arranged. If you think you’re going to be coming, please join the…
please visit my Live Journal where I am running a poll to decide the best date. The choices are Saturday 7th August 12-4, or Sunday 12th September 12-4.
