a year long jam where you pick a combination of two prompts, one provided by me, and the other one provided by write me (https://writeme.itch.io/)

what counts as a novella is a 17.5k - 40k word length. this is not a game jam, but if you write a visual novella that is okay too, as long as it meets wordlength requirements. i especially encourage the works of queer and trans people of color, as me and write me are trans asians

(these only provide prompts for 20 chapters)
