A while back, I asked for creators who identified as LGBTQ to announce themselves and promote their work in a massive thread right here on Tumblr. It got hundreds of responses and tons of links to some incredibly wonderful work, most of which has not yet received the exposure it deserves, quite a…

I can’t remember if I managed to talk myself out of responding to the LGBTQ one or not, but since this one also applies to me, let’s see if I can manage to not be a huge wuss about it this time!

Hi, I’m Alicia Kilpatrick, I go by Xella both on the interwebs and IRL.  I run a quasi-fantasy webcomic called Bowspirit’s Aim which updates every Tuesday, both on its own site (which I still haven’t made a proper design, oops) and on my DeviantArt.  It’s (currently) about a fresh-out-of-the-cloisters priestess with a very naïve black-and-white view of the world and an eager desire to do right and abide by her Goddess’ will, and a headstrong vampire with a penchant for mischief and a very low tolerance for narrow- and closed-mindedness.

The comic’s been going off and on for ten years, though it’s only been in the last year or so that it’s been updating regularly.  There’s a lot of stuff I’d love to do with it that I just haven’t gotten around to doing, or can’t justify spending the time/money for when its total follower-count is like… three.  Which is an awful reason to not do things for a project you’re passionate about, but there you go!
