I will be illustrating this time around! I’d love to collaborate with somebody (you can browse my tag on the site for examples of my work), but if nobody takes me up on this I’m sure I can slap together a pinup.
I’m gonna try and write something this time around!! Very excited
I actually got the beginnings of something down today! So I plan on having something ready <3
I can only do something small like spot art, but I’m fair game if you would like a little drawing for your story.
You can take a gander at my stuff on insta or tumblr @glassesblu
Feel free to email me here -> risovalroy@gmail.com
Or find my on discord in the ssbb server as Glassesblu
I’ll be contributing a story to the issue for the first time!
I’ve already got my story for this issue ready to go! (I was very productive earlier this year haha) if you would like to illustrate a story featuring handsome men in vintage (ie 1885) suits, email me! kitmillerwrites@gmail.com
Aiming to contribute for the first-time as a writer – have title (“Cold as the March wind her eyes”), have bruises from preliminary plotbunny kicks, hope to have draft for potential art collab by early August. I’m “ribbons” on AO3 and several servers.
I very much want to contribute a fluffy, smutty rivals-to-lovers story about two young Formula 1 drivers!
Back for the anniversary! I’d love to illustrate for someone… and bring honor to my old work. my twitter is @yanyanmitri. I can draw mlm and wlw as well!
I would love to submit a story! I have an idea for something involving mlm incubuses loose in a human village, if anyone is interested in an art collab :) My twitter is @embosnoodler
Okay, I’m pretty sure I have a story I can get finished for this one!
I will have something
