Have I already started on one for this issue? If a paragraph and some research counts as “started,” then yes!
I am very excited for this theme! I’m not sure what will happen, but I’m certain something will.
Might have space for illustrating someone else’s story too – I’m on bsky, reddit and discord under the same name if anyone I has a sapphic piece for me (just ‘cause that’s what I draw). Will accept or decline based on my workload and scope of the thing though, my life is not the most predictable at the moment.
I’m busy revising and very excited to submit–my first SSBB submission!!
Im going to try but no promises just because June is insanely busy…if I can get it done before mid June then it will be a go
I learned about the ourdoor theme yesterday, caught a plot bunny, and literally wrote a short story within a day. So yeah, I’ll be submitting for the first time!
I’m about 75% sure I’ll have something for this issue.
I have a m/m comeplay short in progress.
I officially have an illustration in the works for this issue :>
