5thing this as best cover, now somebody get compiling. fuck editing at this point unless you really feel up to it. you can't have believed we were going to get it "finished."

I think too many of the authors were summerfags and went back to uni, or they were bipolar NEETs experiencing an upswing who have since returned to paralyzed depression.

we had a good run. better than Totalitarianism imho.

Anyone can end the book, there are at least five anons who want to do it.

I feel that once it's finished, and someone decides to trim it, it will get attention.

You're right though, lots of people are probably focused on actual work right no or freshers or something, I feel the weekend will be more active.

Maybe keep the outline only on the foregrounded faces. It looks good on DFW, but makes Bloom look especially bad by highlighting the poor crop/small source photo
