I’ve had an outline and notes file long enough to be its own submission in the works for months, you KNOW I’ll be there.
I am hoping to submit a story about a cleric providing lots of TLC to his fellow adventuring party members. Maybe even all of them at once…
Due to irl circumstances I am de-signing myself up but hope to return at a later date…!
I’ve got something I think might be flash fiction and an artist collaboration to turn it in to something like a very simple comic.
I’m submitting a story this time!!
Really interested in working with a writer as an illustrator or sequential artist for their story in this issue!
Came back to say if any authors are looking for a watercolor or collage illustration for their story I’d be interested in trying!
Hey Devin, send me an email at kitmillerwrites@gmail.com if you’d like to collab!
Got nearly 5K worth of nothing but gangbang
A bit late, but I’d be happy to illustrate something for someone this time around.
