SocShakes:

Hey everyone! Since the last one went so well, I’m going to organize another Bards Against Humanity event! This time around, on the form, there’s an option for you to suggest dates, rather than me giving options for dates. It seems that if I ask people which dates suit them, then I can accommodate as many people as I can. If you’re unsure as to what Bard Against Humanity is, then check out the #bardagainsthumanity tag or this post about the last event. 

Without further ado, here’s the form!
