Hi! Just wanted to say I loved reading your story, it was such an immersive experience. While reading, I kept imagining it unfolding visually, almost like a graphic novel already.

I’m a commission artist who specializes in comics, webtoons, manga and manhwa. I thought I’d reach out as I’d love to create something with you if you’re ever interested in exploring that side for your story. If not, that's totally cool as well, it just really spoke to me, so I thought I should reach out.

If you’d like to chat more or see my art, the best way to reach me is on Discord (eve_verse).

Regards,
Evelyn

A community cookbook of sorts that could have used better editing. But I did find a few recipes to try.
