Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
