Very varied (but read Imago)

A lot of stories are just Not Good. Like I really dislike edgelord vibes, I dislike overwrought metaphors for queerness even when you lampshade the fact that you're doing it, I don't need every trans story to involve "and then she FUCKS with her DICK" in a tone that's so self-congratulatory it's anti-erotic

Some stories were really good though.

What Cheer was the good kind of melancholy

Thieves and Lovers was just interesting and compelling in that "snippet of a life" way

Imago, though, was amazing. Basically worth the price of admission. I'm glad I didn't DNF early because oh my god I loved it so much.
