Yeehaw, etc. I have a story in the works for this!
I’m interested in contributing as a writer (long time reader, first time participant). Reachable on discord as Dwimordene, or tumblr as Mephist0phallus.
I’m writing a story this issue about a pair of former bounty hunting partners! After an a job gone wrong Joel (sometimes Jolene) quits bounty hunting and becomes a saloon girl. Their partner, Harlan then vanishes for six months only to show up at the saloon, asking for a round of cards.
I’m very much up for a collab, so if you’re interested just ping me (Jonah) in the server.
I’ve been working on a story for this. Fingers crossed I manage to finish it!
