What is says on the tin. Signups for the Ciderfest Bookstore end on the 8th. If you missed the last post: here's an explainer.

Dear friend, and Fimfic icon Skeeter the Lurker has been bent over the table by the hellscape concept that is people hoarding property to drive up scarcity to rent or sell back at inflated rates. Any money you could spare him would help.
