Fiction
The Taste of Connection
Eggs, flour, sugar, meat, potatoes, cold cuts, paper towels, candy, a bottle of rosé wine. It’s Friday. The day Simon allows himself to indulge. He plans to bake a cake when he gets home and enjoy the warmth from the oven while he prepares dinner in his large, bright kitchen, savoring the taste of the cool rosé.

I've been writing fanfiction for a long time. As I mentioned in my other Representation entry, I didn't grow up seeing myself represented in Media. On the rare occasion that I did see Autism, or Asexuality, represented, it was usually as a caricature, or the punchline of a joke, or a problem to be solved. Other times, as diversity became a popular thing to include, it would be shown as an excuse for poor behaviour, or, more rarely, as Inspirational(TM), to make a character more impressive for having already overcome their hurdles due to their Special Interest being seen as valuable, like Rain Man or The Good Doctor.

Why Media Representation Matters . Runner-up in Represented Challenge. Top Story - September 2024.
My journey as an independant author began, at least in part, because I never saw myself represented in media. Oh, there were characters I loved, certainly. Some characters that I could relate to, a little, in one way or another.

The Way Home ...
‘This is the way home,’ I said, turning left. I don’t know why, I just wanted to go that way, for some reason, so I said it was the way. We were heading home from the bar, my BFF and I slowly making our way back after a girl’s night out. I said I knew the way back on foot, we could collect the car tomorrow, we were both tanked and couldn’t afford an Uber. I proudly said I knew the way home, I didn’t, and I said it with such confidence she believed me … even though we only moved into the area last week. As we rounded a corner, I bumped into another girl.
