a: if it's something that can be quickly resolved—like a question about a restriction, or a request to reword something—then feel free to go through the curiouscat! if it's something more substantial, or anything that you would need to bring in screenshots or other context for, you should dm the main twitter account instead.q: my question isn't answered here. what should i do?
a: for general questions, please go to our curiouscat! if your question is specific to your application or your piece, you may be better off dming a mod.
