It's the final week for applications, we have had a great response so far. We are oddly looking forward to having to make some tough decisions.

Is so lovely to hear that people say good things about our little festival. It's a very nerve wracking thing to bring it back but we are very excited to do so.
We have applied for some funding to see if we can invite some wonderful peeps so cant say yes to this just yet. But consider it noted. If you can send us an e-mail with any details that would be ace. Like would you want to be paid?
We have been quietly putting a few plans in place for PrideCAF 2026.
Next on our list is our application form. We are aiming to open applications this month and are really excited to see applications come in.
Watch this space for more info.

We have been very quiet in 2025 but that will change soon. Plans are being laid out for PrideCAF 2026. But before that we have a few things cooking that are almost ready to announce.
Hold on just a bit longer....
Good luck to everyone who may or may not be manically prepping for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next weekend. Sadly, our personal funds have not been able to facilitate us to attend this year, we hope to come visit in 2026 if we can. We shall attend via people's social feeds.
This is such a shame.. you have done such great work for the industry.
This is really sad to hear, Quindrie have been an awesome platform for LGBTQ creators. It's so sad to see things like this happen in the industry. We need publishers like this in the world and it's so sad to lose one. May your 2026 be happy and fruitful @quindriepress.com.
Quindrie Press will close at the end of 2026. A full statement with FAQ is available to read on the Quindrie Press website.
I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close down Quindrie Press at the end of 2026. Please read my full statement, along with information about what's next at Quindrie and an FAQ, here: quindriepress.com/closing
Thanks @aruudlay.itch.io, yep, we exist. No festival this year but hope to announce things for 2026 in Oct.
We recently helped out on PrideCAF's 12-hour #livestream by running a session of THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS, and it was everything we wanted it to be and more!
Watch the chaos on the EoE YT channel, and say hi to Nate & Chris over at @pridecaf.bsky.social!
