Hallo fellow members of Bellatrix! Welcome to the first 2016 edition of the Chimera. This is your new Mother of Monsters writing. My legal name is Charisse James, which you will need to use if you ever wish to email me. I answer to Sky and use the “she/her/them/they” pronouns. As the Mother of Monsters, it is my duty to oversee the editing and publishing of each edition of the Chimera. For 2016, the Chimera will be a monthly edition, printed in the last week of every month. The Chimera is a collection of artwork, story serials, fan fictions, book reviews, poems, jokes, blog posts, and anything really that revolves around Manga, Anime, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Manhwa, and Comics. The Chimera depends on student contribution. If you are a current MHC student, a member of Bellatrix and/or Renegades, feel free to email me at
[email protected], with your submissions. Here are the guidelines: 1) It must be your own work plagiarism is not tolerated. If you wish to submit something and claim that it is yours, it is best that that be so. If you are submitting work on behalf of someone else, make sure that you have their permission. 2) All work will be reviewed and must be approved by an editor before submissions. 3) Only current Mount Holyoke Students may submit to the Chimera. That is, classes of 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. All other students can send their submissions in to the Bellorophan on Tumblr. 4) It is preferable that all written work be five pages or less.
