re my repost: I hope people support Apex Magazine and others like it. one thing I've noticed when looking at Kickstarters for anthologies is just how much of an unevenness there is between how many people actually monetarily support them and how many people submit during the open calls

a little intro post for those who don't know me: I'm Holly! I live in Michigan w/ my family and an abundance of rescue cats. I'm always striving to push myself, & I dabble in many genres & categories, but the topics that seem to invariably wander into my stories: angry girls, mental health, & death.
