Hey 17ling, If you're still checking in on the thread, I got the word that you dropped. Hope you're doing well!Just wanted to extend a quick thanks for your work this year! I don't use 4chan much, so you made communication much easier than I was expecting, so thanks for making my job easy!No hard feelings on how Round 3 turned out and if you still want to post whatever you had of your Round 3, even if not fully realized, I'd still enjoy seeing it :)Additionally, if you make art post CRAB and want to show me, feel free to reach out! I'm on, like, everything.Wish you the best! Cat Summer forever,- Locket :3Pic credit to Kabloouie-anon
