#TBB If you have a project you're thinking about crowdfunding, why not do it in a collective? The people involved in The Book Bazaar have literally been the most supportive, lovely, fun people I could ask to hang out with. Check out the originally thread and apply, there's a bunch of reasons why!
SO. Who can apply to be part of The Book Bazaar 2026? đ§ľ

The shape yawned, catlike. Only the teeth could be seen, thousands slim and sharp as a needle. Little footsteps stumbled in the dark, a door swung closed nearby. I watched the teeth follow the steps out into the long shiny happy hallway and crossed myself. I hate this job.

TFTNG â Acanthus hates the societal structure and the hatred baked into it, and has been actively working to change it. Cypress hates how convoluted everything is.
Rebecca hates how unfair everything feels, and the lack of support systems for those who need it.
#QueerPrompts Acanthus is far more likely to hurt someone accidentally. They only attack if they have no other options.
Cypress is going to accidently hurt someone. He doesn't really like conflict and even when he's in it, he focuses on defense.
Oh also!! @vanessaperrywrites.bsky.social has become a good friend, and I've been working on some projects that she's running!
I'm sure I'm forgetting people -- like the lovely people in Horror Writer's Chat and Queer Writer's Chat -- but even if I didn't name tou directly, it doesn't make you any less loved!!!
#HorrorWritersChat It was vaguely humanoid, but it swirled with the shadows that gathered from the corners of the room. It slowly solidified. As the blackness began to shine with the strange gleam of the fire, the flame sputtered.
It reached for me.
The flames went out.
#HorrorWritersChat Acanthus is probably giving me a home-made salve for aches and pains. Cypress is giving me a little whittled charm, probably in the shape of a wolf's head or a rose.
Rebecca (the MC for Such Sweet Sorrow) is probably giving me a starbucks giftcard or coffee.
