Reporters & Journalists - OC News Project & Newsletter Contributors
Newsletter: Issue #3 - 27th March, 2026
Hello, Reddit? We would like to speak to the algorithm responsible, please
On Wednesday, we hit 3,000 members. Now it’s Friday, and somehow we’re already at 3,500!
At this point, growth updates are less “community milestone” and more “live observation of an anomalous phenomenon that may soon require containment.” Still, in the least ominous way possible: thank you!
Every new member brings something with them. Art, ideas, jokes, experiments, lore, cursed brilliance, suspiciously specific obsessions, and the occasional post that makes everyone stop and go, “alright, who let this one cook?” That mix is what keeps The Latent Space Club feeling so alive.
So once again. Welcome to the new faces, and thank you to everyone who keeps making this place worth exploring!

Community Art Jam
The next Community Art Jam has arrived, and this round’s theme is:
"Mourning Demon"
There’s a lot hiding in that phrase. Grief. Ritual. Beauty. Horror. Restraint. Collapse. Something monstrous. Something tender. Maybe both at once, because life enjoys cheating.
Take it wherever you want. Elegant, tragic, terrifying, symbolic, intimate, theatrical, abstract, or utterly deranged in a way that still somehow works.
As always, the point is not to create the “correct” answer. The point is to see how many different directions one prompt can fracture into once the community gets its claws on it.

Still Looking for Reporters and Journalists
We’re still looking for people (or beings who identify as such) who want to help shape both:
an upcoming in-character OC news project
and the newsletter itself
For the OC news project we’re looking for reporters, anchors, presenters, or generally anyone who wants to help bring community events and The Latent Space Club universe to life.
For the newsletter more broadly, we’re also looking for people who’d like to contribute articles, highlights, writeups, visuals, or ideas for future issues.
This is not a grim life sentence to unpaid professionalism. It is a community project. You bring what you can, when you want, and help make the place feel more alive, more collaborative, and more weird in all the right ways. No strings attached! Pinky Promise.

Community Lore Expo: Show us your world!
Got an OC? A setting? A worldbuilding project? A pile of notes that has evolved into a private mythology with tax law and emotional damage?
Excellent.
For this challenge, we want you to tell us about the lore of your OC or their world in a cool comic format. Show off your setting, your narrative instincts, your visual storytelling, your dramatic flair, or just your ability to turn your own brainworms into something fun for other people to read.
This can be serious, heartfelt, stylish, chaotic, funny, cryptic, or gloriously excessive. We want to see what your characters come from, what shaped them, what kind of world they inhabit, and what strange little truths hold it together.
And yes, shameless goofing around is also welcome. Naturally.

Community Style Remix Jam: Frame someone in a new light!
Here’s a looser and more collaborative challenge.
Take your own OC or someone else’s (with permission!), then depict them in an art style of your choice.
That could mean pixel art, Japanese ink art, cubism, retro game sprites, storybook illustration, poetry, haikus, songs, or anything else that lets you reinterpret a character through a new lens.
The fun here is not just in making something “good”, but in making people experience a familiar character differently. It’s a way to show appreciation, build connections, and bounce off each other’s creativity in a more direct way.
So yes! Lovingly, and respectfully, recreate each other! Stylize each other. Turn each other into surrealist nightmares, folk songs, tiny pixel goblins, or tragic ink-wash legends. Or don't! I'm not your boss. But. Community bonding has many forms and this could be a good way to break the ice!

Closing Note
Things are moving fast.
Faster than expected, faster than reasonable, and possibly faster than is medically advisable for a place held together by art, lore, community energy, and whatever obscure force keeps making people show up.
But that’s part of what makes it fun.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for making things. Thanks for reading, posting, experimenting, collaborating, and helping this place become more than just another feed people scroll through half-conscious at 2 AM.
And now, with all due dignity and journalistic professionalism:
kthxbye!
