#bizarre summer

So! As you may be aware, we've been dead on here since our last predicted release date. Here's the sitch:

a. we finally got everyone's contributions! unfortunately the pandemic hasn't been kind to folks, and some complications came up on that end-- regardless, we managed to get everyone's work!

b. our layout mod, isa, is temporarily out of commission-- she managed to make most of the PDF, but had to leave for personal reasons.

Mod mickey and I are splitting the remaining work of laying out the last couple of pieces and putting the PDF together. A great number of pages only got to us the 14th, so we've been pretty swamped. Unfortunately, it was also finals season for both of us, hence the snail's pace. We have re-shuffled our calendars around--- we will be done with the PDF and ready to share with the world by SATURDAY MAY 29.

I am deeply sorry for the lack of communication and the shuffling of dates around. We are doing everything we can to make things work, and I wish we had had the foresight to give ourselves more time. I can't stress how grateful I am for everyone still waiting, and for our contributors, who are waiting patiently to share what they've worked so hard on. I can only hope the product makes up for it.

Thank you for everything! See you in a couple of days-- I'll be reposting previews/ teaser pics soon.

They're on this volume as an artist, and they'll be giving us a cool section starter and some comics, hopefully >:)! Their quick humor ( and beautiful discord emotes) have made our chat lively, we're very glad to know them! Find them here on tumblr and here on twitter!

Sad news everyone. It's becoming increasingly obvious that we won't be able to wrap this all up tonight-- our new expected release date is the 14th. This has been a really rocky road for all of us, but we're doing our best! I promise it'll be worth the wait! Thank you for being patient, and for sticking by us. See you soon!
