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. Please leave alternative contact information, as comment notifications aren’t working. Contributors wishing to collaborate with others should respond through indicated channels.

This issue’s theme is Skin Deep: Give our traditionally spooky Halloween issue a hand by bringing your best erotic body horror!
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THIS ISSUE: At Shousetsu Bang*Bang, we generally prioritize tender romances, happily-ever-afters, and just plain warm and fuzzy feelings. For October, however, we stretch our priorities to allow for some more seasonally appropriate ambiguity. We’ll always welcome happy endings, no matter the issue! But if you feel like ending your piece on a bit more of a sinister note, here’s where you want to do it.
- Quick Answers: Interested in participating but don’t know where to start? Bring your quick questions here!
- Submission Guidelines for Fiction: All the specifics for text submissions. READ BEFORE SUBMITTING.
- Submission Guidelines for Art: Whether you’re illustrating or submitting a standalone piece, here’s what you need to know.

I’m planning to write something! And I have a friend (new to SSBB) who will hopefully be available to illustrate it for me
You KNOW I’ll be here to make something unpleasant (positive(?)). Gonna be writing and illustrating something!
I have a thing for this! That I hope to submit it on time, as my original plan for it was art-based but due to scheduling conflicts, is being (easily) converted into prose \ o /
Having said that, if anyone is interested in art duties, please let me know and I’ll contact you!
hiii i would like to try writing with you folks, slightly spooky is in my wheelhouse!
Hi! If anyone would like for me to illustrate something for them, check my stuff out here https://linktr.ee/glassesblu
I can be contacted via the group discord or through any of my social media DMs.
I like to draw tender moments, hugs, and touching. I also specialize in drawing funny goofy antics and slapstick poses.
I’ve got something brewing in my brain parts for this one!
Should have a story for this one :)
Hyakunichisou 13 here. I am going to try to have a story.
I would love to illustrate a spooky piece for someone (or someones!)!
Please feel free to hmu via the group discord, where I also have some socials with works listed in my intro! I’m new to SSBB but definitely not new to queer erotica ♥️
