>Whatever happened to /ffa/ anon?
We’ve got a ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’ scenario here.

The first /ffa/ anon (editor anon) started the /faa/ threads in Jan 2021 and ran the first three volumes. After the release of Simian Deluxe he noted that he would be taking a break until 2022.

Cover-anon assisted in vol 1-3 threads, and in Nov 2021 agreed to compile submissions from /wg/ toward a 4th volume. He posted and lurked here for a few months on and off, but submissions tailed off.

New FFA anon attempted to revive the thread in early July (w/o the iconic badger pic) but got nothing. So he merged with /wg/ for the second time and has been compiling stories throughout July.

When do you read, /lit/?

Apologies to the anon who wrote “A story of forbidden love between a man and a ghost”. I somehow missed it in the thread. It will go first in Volume 02 (if there is enough interest for Volume 02). To prevent that from happening again: posted stories can be emailed to litanthology@protonmail.com
