A lil zine update: we've got some more fantastic art coming tonight & expect more excellent poetry (some really great work is coming in, but send more please as we are hungry 🙂) AND there'll be more red hot flash fiction over the next few weeks or so (well some of it, one will be mine eek ah).

So, to recap: Monday evenings will be when new work lands (usually). Remember to send your creativity over ☺️

Some plan for raising money for a second print issue will be formed over the summer sometime soon (ish). Want to help? Get in touch
