As many of you may have noticed, @hp-nextgen-fest took a hiatus in 2021. The mods didn't have the capacity to run the fest and upon re-evaluation at the start of this year, we unfortunately realized that we just don't currently have the time to commit to modding the fest. But we remain ardent lovers of HP Next Gen and the thought of closing the doors on this fest was a sad one–luckily we don't have to!
After three lovely humans – @thebooktopus, gcldcnhour, & @modestk – expressed interest in running a fest for Next Gen works, we asked them if they would like to take over the running of this pre-existing fest, and they've graciously accepted!
Over the next few weeks they’ll likely put up a post filling you in on this year’s schedule, and letting y'all know about any changes you need to know about!
We'll still be around, if they need us, but we know we are leaving this fest in very enthusiastic, very capable hands. (And of course, we're super pumped to enjoy the fest as watchers and participants and see the amazing works the fest will inspire!!)
We hope everyone is looking forward to another fabulous year for @hp-nextgen-fest! We certainly are!
Your humbly resigning mods,
@gracerene & @shiftylinguini
