Signup for for Bang*Bang Special Issue #8

shousetsubangbang:

Signups are now open for the March 25 issue; the text deadline for the issue is Tuesday, March 19, and the art deadline is Saturday, March 23. Please comment here if you plan to submit a story or artwork for this issue. Artists should specify whether you’re submitting a standalone piece, offering to illustrate a story, or doing both. Artists offering to illustrate should provide either links to or thumbnails of past works as examples of style; writers wishing to collaborate with artists (or artists wishing to collaborate with writers) should respond directly to comments to this post. As always, you don’t have to sign up to participate, and you’re not creating an unbreakable contract by signing up, but throwing your name into the hat is always a good way to get that creative impulse going! Signups for the beta reader pool will be in an upcoming post.

This is the first special of the year, where we trade boys for girls and let the lesbians run free! The theme this time is Tea for Two: How do you ladies take your tea? Hot? Sweet? Spiked?

~*~

Signups are of course still open for the February’s Hookers and Blackjack issue — this is the part of the year where we’ve got a little overlap, and we know it’s a bit of a crunch, but contributors are welcome to take part in either or both issues!

WRITE ABOUT LESBIANS

DRAW LESBIANS

LESBIANS!

Everyone should sign up because the lady issues never get as much attention and I know y’all are some lady-loving folks. LET’S ALL HAVE FUN WITH LESBIANS.

THIS IS MY APOCALYPSE STORY

Titled “Everything living tries to get back to the soil”. I would be happy if you read it! It’s about the end of the world. Soon!

There’s still time to read this creepy story that I drew a creepy drawing for!

From Volume 8, Issue 40

MARCH 7, 2012

Abraham wiped a bit of horseradish out of his beard with a paper napkin he’d swiped from some fast food joint or another. He had established quite a hoard of ill-begotten paper goods over the years, along with sugar packets, condiments, and other easily pocketed items, before he’d discovered the power of buying in bulk. Eating a roast beef sandwich didn’t merit breaking into the stash of the good stuff, though, so his crumbs were caught with stolen goods. 

He took another bite and clicked on another random YouTube video. He’d started somewhere an hour or so ago with something he’d actually specifically intended to watch, but the internet being what it was and all, he’d lost time and all memory of where he’d started, and was now watching a man in a car giving a review of food he’d gotten at Arby’s. Good napkins, Arby’s.

Abraham had finished his sandwich by the time the man on the video was done singing the praises of the Arby’s Super Reuben. He was a man who’d made a lot of decisions in life based on maintaining his own personal safety and well-being, but every man was prone to moments of weakness and error. He scrolled down to read the comments on the video.

Heyyy, so, this is my story for the latest ssb*b issue! I’m really proud of it. Without giving too much away, it was inspired by John Hodgman, David Wong, terminal illness, and a fear of schizophrenia. It has a fucking FANTASTIC illustration by serenity-fails, goddamn gurl.

It is not your particular usual s2b2 fluffy love story, but it does have a happi endo in its own way, and I’d be really happy if you read it. Shit, I liked this one so much I used it to come out of the Bang*Bang closet, as it were, on the twitter that my coworkers all follow. I WILL NOT BE ASHAMED OF YOU, GAY PORN RAG I RUN. YOU ARE THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE

I meant to make the soundtrack for this today but I forgot. Maybe after I finish these tater tots.

I DREW A THING FOR THIS! it’s SCARY!!!!

Yesterday was not the first time I told someone I was an ornithologist and they thought I meant orthodontist, but I can pray it is the last.

@birdsinmybeard It’s ‘cause you got such beautiful chompers!

I’m thinking: braces for birds — “Your smile will be im-pecker-ble!”
