Sketch Fest #14 is tomorrow! We have a Facebook event for it, if you are over there, and also a Facebook group. All artists are welcome, and even if you aren't an artist, you are welcome to come by and bring us prompts and ideas for this fabulous 24-hour art jam.

EMG-Zine made its fundraising goals for the first half of 2011 and is safe through June, 2012! Any extra funds that are raised between now and the start of the next period of fundraising go to site improvements to make your 'zine experience better! (While you're there, check out our May issue, our theme is 'Dryads,' and consider submitting work for our 'Butterflies' issue, due June 1!)

It's Sea Monster Month at Torn World! We have been unleashing articles about sea monsters just about every day (and will even be moving to posting on weekends for the rest of the month!), as well as nautical monster-themed stories, poetry and artwork. Our new trade paperback anthology is still available for pre-order, with a bonus copy of the ebook pdf free with any pre-order! Help us spread the word, and you can earn ACEO prints (and maybe even originals!). We have free copies of the ebook available for qualified reviewers, also - please use this form to apply for one and get more information about the anthology and ACEOs (collectible art cards).

Commission-Control is now in open beta testing. If you are interested in commissioning work, please feel free to register and open a project for our artists! If you are an artist, please contact me about joining and adding your services. You may also wish to use it to manage your existing commissions.

Happy crowdfunding, everyone!
