This is a signup for the December 18 issue; the text deadline for the issue is Tuesday, December 5 and the art deadline is Saturday, December 16.
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. As always, you don’t have to sign up to participate, and you’re not creating an unbreakable contract by signing up, but it’s always a good idea!
This is our theme-free big bang, which means that this issue broadens its submission standards to include both stories over 25k and comics, as well as our more usual fare. Come do your own thing, and as much of it as you want.

Me!! I’m signing up!!
I definitely want to write something! Probably the fluffiest, stupidest slice-of-life I’m capable of.
I WILL get another illustrated brick over the finish line come hell or high water. Looking forward to it!
Unless something happens, I have been hoping to do a “soft” sequel to my Anathemaphilia thing–and by “soft” sequel, I mean bring back the two male idiots in there for a seasonal appropriate story with fluff and angst :P Little did I think I would bring ’em back for SSBB. Aiming for an actual short-short story. (*monkey’s paw curls somewhere*)
Like last issue’s, I also might not have time for possible art but if anyone is interested in art duties, please let me know! My email’s attached to this message or DM on Discord through the SSBB server~
I think I can knock out a little something by dec 5 AND i have an idea for a lil something to knock out
