Meet the Projects — Part One: Moonburn Messy queer rom-com vibes. Found family. Diary cassette tapes. Welcome to our “Meet the Projects” series—where I (hi, I’m Robbie 👋) walk you through what we’re building at August Year Round and what your support actually helps bring to life!

Moonburn fans— this is where you come in. We’re raising funds to bring Season 3 to life. If this story has ever meant something to you, please consider donating. 🌕🔥 This isn’t just about one show— it’s about building space for queer, independent storytelling to thrive.

So, I couldn't sleep due to heat last night, and I accidentally bumped onto #moonburn from @augustyearround.bsky.social , and I almost literally could not stop listening, I binged the entire first season and AM OBSESSED #audiofiction #AudioDrama #audiodramasunday

Almost 2 years ago, I launched AYR to create bold, collaborative fiction podcasts like Moonburn and (Un)Likeminded. Now we’re heading into Year 3— and I’ve launched a GoFundMe to support all the new seasons, stories, and voices we’re ready to bring to life.

www.gofundme.com/AYR-year-3 Almost 2 years ago, I started AYR Productions with the dream of carving out a space of creativity, collaboration, and amplified LGBTQ+ voices. Since, we've launched fiction podcasts, turned imaginative ideas in audio reality, and built something incredibly special.

Do you want to help make MOONBURN SEASON 3 a reality?! AYR's GoFundMe is off to a great start! I couldn't be more grateful for the love everyone has shown to get us started! We're so excited to continue this wonderful queer, YA story (and so much more), but we need your help to bring it to life!
