Thanks to everyone who shared, posted, & made deer puns with us! Sadly we didn't make funding this time, but MESSED UP DEER will return- they are always waiting, in the woods. In the meantime, if you'd like a spooky deer for the wall, here you go! www.inprnt.com/gallery/carl... 👁️👁️👁️ 🦌 #art

Well, it's a bummer that @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social and my book of MESSED UP DEER didn't fund this time. Obviously, we're blue. But we're not giving up completely, and hope to revive the project soon when we're ready to tackle it again. Stay tuned, deers! ❤️🦌

From @kayv.bsky.social, a story to make you NEVER want to go in the water ever again! Or on a dock. Or in the woods. But especially not in the water, even if it's part of your job... 👀🦌🏊‍♀️ (plus some extra feel-punching and WTF moments!!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

SPACE DEER!!!! 🚀🦌 👁️ yesss... We would love to see ALL settings/time periods/vibes. :D As long as it's got messed up deer! (Deer POV? 👀Oooh...) So yes, dark fantasy is welcome too! (You are gonna DIG Ashe Olivier Deng's story... it's dark fantasy that's fucked up.) Humor is also okay!

Thank you for this information! In that case, we will probably say no to have wendigos used in the theme, so we can be respectful of the Indigenous traditions. (Neither editor is Native.) As always, we appreciate folks sharing things like this to help us make this the best it can be! <3

Thank you, very glad to hear, I definitely don't want to tell folks what to and not to do, but 1- it's nice to have the tools to know what to engage with and 2- it's very heartening to see things like this respected.

Ok, thanks - as a heads up, it's a closed tradition, so it may be good to note if they're being allowed so that folks can know if they want to engage with the anthology - it isn't widely known that it is indeed closed, but can be very offensive for people to see, especially played for horror
