LaRochelle originally devised the visual project as a class assignment while they were a student at Concordia University in Montreal, where they live.
This month, the site surpassed half a million submissions, with the United States alone accounting for more than 180,000 of the markers.

“It’s fascinating to me the way that the confessional mode of writing in the first couple of stories that I added has persisted.”
