I am not dead and this bang is still on.
I have had a few family issues in the last month or so. My great-aunt passed away due to complications from a stroke, my dad fractured his spine (combine that with attempting to care for him from afar, a somewhat fractured relationship, and his alcoholism and you have a complicated situation). Just this past thursday, my best friend's mom, who was a mother figure to me throughout college, died suddenly after being diagnosed with the beginnings of brain cancer just a week before. Due to this and some tech issues with no internet and a new phone, I haven't been able to check in like I should.
If you all could let me know how you are doing and if you need any extensions, I would be more than happy to accommodate. If any of the volunteering artists can also make their choices and get back to me, that would also be wonderful. So far, we only have one story claimed by one artist. If if comes down to it, I will make banners and covers for the remaining stories.
