Here's a sneak peak of my piece for @bennyzine.bsky.social I'm glad I got to participate in this issue. Lots of cool art!! Haven't checked the fics yet but I bet they're also great. I'll likely wait until the zine is out to enjoy them 👀 Preorders are open so buy it now! 🫵

Bernice Summerfield holds a flashlight in her hand. The background is green and illuminated by her flashlight. She is wearing a brown suit, white shirt and black pants. She looks off-screen curiously

Due to a planning error, the background of the zine was mistakenly written on the guideline doc and the promo posts as having taken place in 2598 instead of 3598 (~1000 years after the opening of the Braxiatel Collection). We apologize for any confusion that we may have caused…
