You don’t have to ask this lady twice to assemble when you have that many stacked cookies 
Hand 'em over lol! But in all seriousness, I really like this page and all the elements in it.

I have a question… a while ago I found a post that explained what the different types of projects were (zap, research, tutorial, etc…) and now I can’t find it. Can someone direct me to it?
I was also wondering if this post would be considered a tutorial:
Thank you for any clarification 
P.S. I’m so glad I found this site, and I appreciate you all

That’s the first post of this thread; the breakdown is a ways down, under “The Points” (after the team and header info).
It’ll also be in the first post of any season’s thread – when the fall Games start, the new thread will have the info again so you don’t have to hunt down past seasons for it.

Project Name: Midnight Burger Fan Art
Project Link: Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain
Brief Description: I love the podcast Midnight Burger! It’s heartwarming and quirky and hysterical! This little piece depicts 2 of my favorite characters (who am I kidding—they are ALL my favorites!) who live in an old-time radio. They are Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain from Toadsuck, Arkansas (and they are, apparently, “the Hot Ones”. If you listen, you’ll know why that’s kind of funny). They offer advice, support, and hysterical commentary. I laugh out loud every single time I listen!

Project Name: Ugly storage
Project Link:
Brief Description: I recently moved and trying to find effective storage for things can be tricky. We have WAY too much stuff. So I cobbled together bits of moving boxes and made these storage bins (the ones with the orange and blue tape on them) so that I can slide them out of the cupboard kind of like drawers, to make it easier to find stuff. They are not pretty. They are not even “pretty -adjacent”!
