If you have something you want to show off to the rest of our readers, head over to our submissions page and fire off an e-mail to us!
Shop Cerise
If you’ve been hankering after a Cerise t-shirt, here’s your chance to pick one up. We’ve opened a Spreadshirt store with shirts, bags and buttons featuring a variety of graphics. We’ve made every effort to research the brands we’re putting on offer, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer products that are fair trade (and environmentally friendly as well, in many cases).
Shop at our store, and help support your favorite gaming magazine for women!
