This year we’ve had a number of people step up for Shousetsu Bang*Bang, and we can’t say enough about how much all of it means to us. Whether you’ve joined us on Discord<\/a>, contributed to one of our issues, helped someone else through the contribution process, worked on one of the many archival projects we’ve got in the works, added something to the wiki<\/a>, shared links on social media, downloaded (and even donated!) through Smashwords<\/a>, or left comments and encouragement for our creators, we want you to know it’s been appreciated. Your support and enthusiasm are what keep this all going.<\/p>\n
