What Is It?
This is an editorial piece, which traces the history of the Yuri subgenre from its origins in 1919 through today.
How Did Patreon Power It?
I'll be perfectly blunt, in this case: Without our Patrons, this article owuld not exist. Due to the increase in funding we've received in the past few months, we were able to make an open call for article pitches on Twitter. We received several pitches from parties, with Ms. Friedman's among them.
Erica Friedman is a true scholar on yuri, having basically written the book on the topic in the west. I was thrilled to accept her pitch, and we received the finished article a week later.
Patreon funds paid for the article in full.
