What's different this year?
Switch in Organization
With this being the QHSB's third year running, it was time to expand the moderation team to disseminate tasks among a larger group rather than just a few people. This also means that the QHSB will no longer be formally associated as a solely Project Ensō endeavor; going forward, the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle Team will be its own independent collective whose collaborators may change from year to year depending on their availability. We hope that this will give the team the flexibility to respond to inquiries quickly without burning out any single one individual.
More Precise Questions
The Google Form portion has been reworded, adjusted, and greatly extended to both make moderation of entries and outreach to press, reviewers, streamers, etc. easier. The majority of the new questions help us categorize individual submissions by things such as representation, genre, content, and more. Please be sure to set aside a minimum of 20 minutes to complete the application, or more depending on if you're submitting multiple projects.
Miscellaneous Adjustments
We also combed through the jam page and Google Form to correct instances where it implied that all submissions were games. We'd love to have more Books and Comics this year, so please share them with us!
