THREE YEARS OF SIDE BY SIDE ...

How should we celebrate that, I wonder, if not with fabulous K/S Art and Stories?

I've picked first lines from one story in each Zine, and the challenge is to write entirely new stories with these first line challenges for the next issue of Side By Side ... If a line inspires you to make art, that would also be wonderful.

Deadline for these first line challenges is the same as the submission deadline for Issue #14, which means - last day of submitting your story is October 28 and publication date is set at November 1.
