Please reply to this post if you plan to submit a story or artwork for this issue, indicating whether you are interested in contributing to the issue as an author and/or artist, and whether or not you are looking for a collaborative partner. Artists offering to illustrate should provide links to past works as examples of style.

Can you believe it? Our centennial! Join us for the biggest, bang-bangiest theme-free issue yet!
NOTE #1: Our regular issues have text limits of 25,000 words and art limits of ten images without speech bubbles. But because this is a December big bang, you can write, draw, or make comics as long as you like!
NOTE #2: The main cover for this issue is going to be a collage of several individual covers, which will each get showcased as standalone pieces! Want to contribute one? Shoot us an email at shousetsubangbang@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested, and we’ll share the specifics.

Going to submit a Rhoanish story or die trying.

I’m interested in contributing a story!
I’m interesting in offering a story! Not sure yet if in comic form or as writer only (and I’d be up to collab if anyone wants in this case), but sign me up ^^
Centenniallll!!
Happy to collab with a writer on something!

Hello! I’m Bunny and I would love to collab with someone for spot illos, or even comics–it’s up for discussion! You can check out my work on http://www.bunnyluz.com or on IG/Txt/Tumblr @bvnnylvx :)))
I’m going to try to submit something!!
I’m aiming to get a story in!
I just watched “Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop” and want to write a very fluffy, trope-heavy BL-inspired first time story. Possibly mallcore. Would love to collaborate with an artist on an extremely BL cover if anyone’s interested! Haiku will very much be involved.
Hi! I’m interested in submitting art… and maybe a story, depending on how much chaos is in this next week.
Why is there so much chaos in this week?
