Hi everyone,

Thanks for signing up for this mailing list. You can still find us on Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Tumblr the same as in the past. Please share this message or forward to anyone you want — all are welcome to apply.

We’ll open submissions for QGB 2025 on April 1. Whatever you want to submit must be fully published by March 31, otherwise it won’t be eligible. (Demos are still okay! I just mean that your itchio project must be public and published — no passwords or placeholder pages.) I’ve already shared this across social media. This will really help avoid headaches and heartbreaks during the moderation period. I will also try to do tiered payments again.

This is a call for feedback from you: we must use an itchio jam to build the bundle, but we have the option to make that jam page “unlisted” so it doesn’t appear in itchio’s public calendar and other listings. If doing that will help people feel safer or more secure, I’m happy to do that. If not, a public page is also fine with me. The page will still be shared on all our usual social media channels, so it wouldn’t be secret or anything — just a little protected from random browsers. What do you think?

Let me know if you have questions about anything. It’s much easier to ask and answer things now if possible.

Thank you all for your interest. To those from past bundles, thank you for also helping to prop up our big tent for queer survival.

Caroline Delbert
