As she tries to piece together what the hell happened to her body while she was gone, she also has to figure out how to get out of the situation the other Jenny left her body in, and most importantly, if the Illuminati really exist.

The prelude, also by Aristide, was edited by Theta Mandel, and follows a Jenny Everywhere as she shifts back into her body and finds herself a prisoner sailing in a ship on the Chronon Sea.

This whimsical illustration was drawn by the even more whimsical Theta Mandel. The Face of the Unknown - Overture is the prelude to an upcoming Jenny Everywhere story by Aristide Twain. This story shows what happened to Jenny after the events of A World of Pure Unimagination.

Junior, the next installment in Disparate Minds, was written by Plum Pudding. Edited by Ostara Gale and Aristide Twain. June has become used to Avenue and this is a terrifying thing. As she examines her new life and her old, she comes across a repeating pattern, and people even more lost than her.

Plum Pudding @plumpuddin.bsky.social made the cover and it is the dumping ground (the dumping ground). You will Understand. Soon.

Still, even legends need to rest, and so Lotto and her charge Max stop for the night at a roadside hotel owned by the mysterious Peter Warren. When rooms seem to move and the facts aren't adding up, Lotto starts to wonder if the owner's ghost stories are more than just tourist-enticing tall tales...

Lotto is on her way back to Walter's Hope, the town that had lead to her death, but this time, she's not alone. With her is a missing teen who thinks she is King Arthur... and she might well be right.

And that's not all! The thirteenth of August was the start of a very special celebration that stretches across several days… do check out jennyeverywhereday.com! We'll be back soon with our own very Jenny special release before the festivities are over!

The Blue Paper Routers, by Theta Mandel, celebrates the entanglement of queerness and social change as three outcasts get wrapped up in the resistance against Atlantis's authoritarian rulers. Revolution is coming; will you join, if you think it's not your fight? Or might it be your fight after all?

The Day the Storm came is a short xenofiction piece by Thien Valdram: The day the storm came, Skyshadow could not imagine being away from her pack. Not when thunder is promised by the air. But when she realises that one packmate remains missing from the cave, what can she do but run into the rain?

First is This is the Intent, or The Monkey Way, written by the brilliant @plumpuddin.bsky.social: Observe Anthea, the three in one. She, unstuck, is made of secrets. They are hidden, they are the dark horse. The twenty seven pages reveal many shadows. This is how you find out; this is the intent.

"The Court of King Max" follows a young girl as she embarks on a harrowing quest to search for a legendary sword. Written by Elodie Christian, this story shows a newly metamorphosed Lotto joining the runaway Max’s quest whilst on the run from the Happiness Facility.

"Atoll", by @plumpuddin.bsky.social, sees a driven Wick refuse to go of the idea that there is something special about a recent change in Avenue. They set out on an adventure that may just allow him to discover true freedom, or to be forever lost to the unforgiving new landscape… also Todd is there.

"With Love and Rage", by Theta Mandel, sees Nardeth, Zerlan and Mrellin hope to enjoy a relaxing holiday on the supposed paradise of Atlantis, but it is not what they expected, and they soon find themselves swept into a world of deception and fear. They are being Watched, in more ways than one…

‘One Year’, by Plum Pudding, is accompanied by this gorgeous artwork by editor @aristidetwain.bsky.social!
