🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! We are hosting open submissions for our Spring Anthology and the submission period is open from now until July 31st! 🧵

A graphic with a white brick background and a thin golden frame. At the top it says “Rainbow Crate” with a pastel rainbow in between the words. Below this is black text which says “Spring Anthology Submissions Open Until July 31st!” in all caps. In the middle of the graphic is a 3D mockup of A Queer & Cozy Winter Anthology with the front cover and edges displayed. There is a shadow below the mockup. At the bottom of the graphic there is smaller black text which reads “Pictured above is our Winter anthology. Our Spring anthology will match in style, but with spring imagery”.

A male vampire from vampire the masquerade game with bright blue eyes and dark shirt sleeked back hair, staring back at the viewer, head lowered gaze up, blood covering his hands as his right hand rests on his face and the left on his head. He’s wearing a dress shirt, an undone bowtie and suspenders.

It has a huge brim and she is looking out from under the brim and she has calm violet eyes and her hair is fluffy and white. Her gown is voluminous and covers her neck. She is sitting and you can see a leather bound book in her lap which is open and she is writing in it with one of her hands. The text on the image says artshare 5k and emilyhare.co.uk
