Denial & Yearning

Soft Chaos member, Allison Cole is known for creating quirky game-things with queer themes. This Zine is no exception. She reached out to the corners of the internet (okay, her trashy lesbian girlfriend, her DMs and one really really gay message board) and rallied a ragtag bunch of creative mavericks to pull off what can only be described as the bestworsttrashy lesbian romance novel: the game.

Remember those kids in the class that complicated your group projects? You know the ones. Instead of just making the thing in the assignment they wanted to make:

the world the assignment would live in
the characters in the world that would make the assignment
the marketing campaign for the assignment
the assignment itself
 
We were those kids. We are those adults.
