What's just as hard, I think, is bringing one of these works back to life after a few years hiatus. Such is the case for EUPHORIA by Rob Hill. Euphoria's return to the webby world came at a sort of reinvigoration of the genre and what a return it has been!  With it's first grouping of Episodes behind it, the series garnered 5 2025 PHIXIE Awards nominations, and TWO Wins!
