This is a signup for the February 24 issue; the text deadline for the issue is Tuesday, February 11 and the art deadline is Saturday, February 22.

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 always reliable.  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 issue’s theme is Nine to Five: Looking to make a work spouse your real spouse? Clock in on time for our office-romance-themed February issue!
