I discovered two sites recently that I wanted to share: the AroAceReads Tumblr at http://aroacereads.tumblr.com/, which posts about ace/aro spectrum characters in fiction and hosts a monthly book club, and the Asexual Artists blog, which is posting interviews with all types of artists, amateur and professional, who are on the ace or aro spectrums–https://asexualartists.wordpress.com/.
Thanks for the tip! They’ll be in next week’s linkspam.
