Finally, please take note that our Kickstarter Late Pledges will close on December 10. If you wish to receive the anthology alongside other backers, you must pledge before then. After that, you will have to wait for our fulfilment to be complete, and for us to publish it more widely.

Common Bonds 2 is composed of 19 pieces (16 stories and 3 poems), which will take you from the deep woods in which the bones of ancient gods lie to the heart of a black hole. We have such an exciting variety—of settings, of aromantic experiences, of strong platonic relationships, of tones.
