Lol, definitely not space, goodness that genre challenge was hard enough already lol. I can do light horror, but I'm not sure if I have any rn, so that's not ideal lol. And then I am always at the mercy of genre tags lol. I read a lot of indie and they are so random on their MPGs....
Yep, next event! Hopefully it won't be as time-critical.
And no bonus points for us. :(
