alee_grrlAs many of you know I am doing an internship for my final semester. Said internship is quite a distance away from my school, so my participation in school groups is pretty much at a minimum. This is a big change because I was the secretary of the Vermont Law School Alliance (our QUILTBAG group) for two years and very active in the group as a whole since I started law school. Last year I came out as ace to the group and we discussed doing an event on asexual awareness but it never quite got off the group. Well one of the group members has continued my efforts and they will be doing an event for asexual awareness week, which is apparently Oct. 20-26 this year.
They have asked to be able to share my paper at the table they will be running during the week. They are also working on being able to do a showing of the film (A)Sexual, and maybe a presentation or panel discussion. I may be able to participate via Skype or Google Hangout. So I'm super thrilled.
I've made what I hope are the final edits to my paper (adding a cite and fixing a couple of typos), and am trying to come up with a cover (because first impressions matter and the wall of text that is a table of contents is visually daunting). I will be posting the paper in its entirety online on or before October 20th in celebration of Asexual Awareness Week. I just have to figure out where (and design a cover).
Anyone have any suggestions for a place to publish it? I'm thinking about Scribd, simply because it is a large repository and would be available to anyone who wished to view it. I suppose I could also clean up my wordpress site and post it there. I am open to suggestions.
I also welcome cheerleading, because let me tell you the idea of putting this out on the internet is kind of terrifying.

If you published it on something like Smashwords (either for free or for a fee) you could publish it in multiple formats so people could read it on ereaders easily if they wanted to and it'd get a fairly decent distribution if you want to opt for that. But putting it on your WP or Scribd might make it easier for people to find (and making your own rudimentary ebook formats really isn't that hard). That's... probably not helpful, sorry. ^-^;
