In 2020 I returned a third time to help create a fan zine to raise money for The Trevor Project, the Transgender Law Center, and Futures Without Violence. This volume also included art and fiction. As acting art director of this zine I handled layout and design as well as helmed the lead for guiding all artists and assisted with guiding the writers. I contributed an illustration, a comic, a written short story, a postcard, a keychain, an updated enamel pin, and an out-of-pocket enamel pin gift. It was definitely a challenging project through the Covid-19 Pandemic and interrupted USPS service. The efforts of the group and moderators raised $23,734.11 USD total, with $7,911.37 to each charity (and an extra left over $0.02 to the TLC that we couldn't divide.
