Thanks for your patience, everyone!

We've selected the story list for The New Hotness, and replied to every writer who applied. There were many truly incredible pitches we just didn't have the pages to include.

We're finalizing the artist roster now, and we'll announce the stories very soon!

My apologies, my spam filter ate the email!

If you’re applying to both write and draw a story, absolutely submit three story pitches and include your portfolio in the information.

If you’re also comfortable illustrating someone else’s writing, you can apply as an artist as well.

Tieflings have found particular resonance in the queer ttrpg community. It feels like almost every queer D&D player has a tiefling OC!

We’re inviting creators to share personal stories through their tiefling avatars across a range of genres, including romance, action, sci-fi, comedy, and horror.

One time while travelling alone, I arrived in a city during a donut crawl and proceeded to go to ~6 different donut shops. It was the best way to get to know the place. This comic is like that but, like, way cuter! Also the art is traditional watercolours!
