Thank you all for your incredible support! With your generosity we have raised $1630 USD for REDCAHT+!

(Alex Castillo is the coordinator of REDCAHT+ [and in the interviews linked in our charity announcement post] and has been corresponding with us for the past few months)

Additionally, here is the finance chart for the zine! All costs are listed and the receipts for the items produced are linked at the top of the chart.

We’ll continue to monitor our email, and we of course would love to see any pictures of received zine packages! And for the zine tumblr, we will move from @souyozine​ to @seasonsofsouyo after the new year. Thank you all again!

It's back! We will be hosting a Souyoweek event that will run during Japan's Golden Week, from Monday, April 29th through Sunday, May 5th. This year's overarching theme will be "Partners" and how its meaning is reflected in our two favorite Persona 4 characters.

Writers, artists, and other content creators who want to participate are encouraged to use each day's theme to help illustrate what Yu/Souji and Yosuke mean to each other. This event is open to all Souyo lovers.

An AO3 Collection will be created in the next several weeks and posted on this account for anyone who wants to use it. For all participants, please remember to tag @SantaSouyo on Twitter/X or @souyoweek2020 on Tumblr and use the tag #souyoweek2024 so we can reblog and repost your creation! Happy creating!

[souyoweek2020]
