There was a common idea throughout all the submissions…myth defined as a traditional story. That being said, Greek mythology and Irish folklore were what you were drawn to the most.
This has been our most popular theme in a long time! The theme was suggested by our co-submissions lead, Grace and our art lead, Jessie (shout out to them). We received a variety of art and written submissions that were a joy to read and look at. As you make your way to the last pages, you will also find this month’s art team challenge, a set of Greek mythology inspired tarot cards.
With this issue, comes the end of the term. As it creeps up on us, so does my time as editor-in-chief. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring what we can do as a collective. Together we have run an art game night, created club pins & club stickers, a physical charity issue, done some face painting, revamped club structures, went from Slack to Discord, hosted a goose(ghost) story booth, AND MORE. From general member to marketing lead to editor-in chief, I’m more than happy to look back at everything we’ve done and everyone I’ve worked with and met throughout these last 8 issues!
The torch will be passed to our current art and marketing team leads Jessie and Chelsea. I know they’ll do great in this new era of the club!
Lastly, a pleasure of writing these editor letters has been the freedom to create a semi-clever sign-off (refer back to the puns and emojis of issues past). It pains me to say that I can not think of anything clever to conclude this time. So instead I’ll settle for an ode to my first send off…
Looking back at the terms and remembering the adventures behind, FOR THE LAST TIME, IT'S BEEN GRAND, Signing off,
Editor-In-Chief.
