Hello! 
          
          Sorry for intruding, but I was wondering whether your graphic shop has active designers suitable for book covers. 
          
          Thank you! ❤️

Greetings, rising flames! With the start of September, that time of year for the Astania Community draws closer... That's right, it's almost time for the Astania Awards! Make sure your stories are ready for when submissions open later this month.
          
          In the meantime, we're looking for volunteers to judge! Coordination will be done through Discord, and you'll be asked to read about 3-5 chapters from about 10 stories. Payment from participants will be either a follow or reading the first chapter of one of your stories, plus, you'll receive a shout-out from the community profile. And don't worry if you were hoping to enter! Judges are still allowed to enter the awards in categories other than the ones they are judging.
          
          If you're interested, leave a comment below! You can also join our Discord server and let one of the mods know you're interested in assisting with these awards.

          Thank you all, and keep an eye out on your notifications for the opening of our next awards!

Hello! Random question: I participated in the Astania book awards last year. Are there any plans to do it again this year? I'd love to be part of it!

Hello. I am so sorry I am late to announce my exit! I am so sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you so much for the chance!
