Hopefully future me is enjoying her vacation, because present me is going crazy trying to organize everything. (For some loose definition of organize, which is mainly make sure everyone packs their medications and clean underwear, and we have enough snacks to keep anyone from going feral during the drive.)

Okay, I want to keep this simple. You can send original art or a short story 😊 I'm going to be excited if I get ten submissions, so I'm not going to have any categories, unless something just goes nuts. I'll send everybody who enters five early chapters, so they can actually get a little binge on!

A good majority of people seemed to like the plushies (YAY!), but I'm going to go with the Chapters or Plushies model of prizes. First place winner gets to pick either a plushie OR twenty extra chapters. Second place winner gets to choose from either the plushie (if the first place winner doesn't pick it) or ten extra chapters. As mentioned, everyone else gets five chapters, unless they don't want them 🤷‍♀️ If you win the plushie, you will have to send me an address so I can ship it, but I promise not to send anything weird(er than a plushie).

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Contest will run from today (Monday, April 1) to Friday, April 12. Winners will be announced Monday, April 15. Send entries or a link to your entry to my inbox here.

I do want to put up at least the winners on my social media (with credit to whatever name you prefer I use, and/or links to your Patreon/Insta/whatevs, because I support artists of all stripes!) but if you don't want me to post it if it doesn't win, just let me know.

If you make me an ad that I can use (and credit you for) here on RR, bonus chapters for you!

Please, no explicit images or stories.

Now, here are Kaz and Kyla to inspire you. Kaz will have his own backpack, as well as a simple 3d-printed dragon. Kyla will have a backpack or possibly a satchel embroidered with beads. They're about 12" tall, 9" wide, and very snuggly soft 🥰
