3.5

Each story takes place in the same universe, and some have the same characters. Since multiple authors are involved, each story has its own feel. Some of them were overly long in my opinion, and others had far too much poetry in the dialogue or descriptions, making it more difficult to understand what was going on, and making the characters less relatable since it's not a very natural speech pattern.

Feeling "othered" is a major theme in each story, and non-hetero relationships, non-cis/enby identity, and racial and ethnic diversity also played major roles.
