Responses by 1 March. You can submit one flash fiction and one short story at the same time.

white lgbt westerners will make endless excuses for their ignorance, for their racist and sexist and homophobic behaviour because they were never taught anything in school, they’ve never seen a world map until they were 23 years old despite having access to the internet their entire lives, because they grew up in a conservative family and everyone has a nazi phase as a teenager so really what’s the big deal? but if someone living in the largest concentration camp ever built has a homophobic thought in their head that’s grounds for them and their entire people to be genocided. you people treat yourselves like adult infants who should be given endless amounts of second chances while baying for the blood of Palestinians. genuinely you make me sick. I want no part of your homonationalism, you are a fascist and your quirky little queer identity does not in any way take away from that

"Does this mean I have to remain in my night garb or can I put on my normal daytime clothes?" "You know, the thing is at a sleepover, you could sleep in your daytime clothes. So, sleepover, the wardrobe is sort of like, do as whatever feels right to you."

Doom Patrol one-shot: Laura gets quality Keeg time
Laura twirled a pencil in her hand. Keeg practically burst in the room. Laura wondered how someone so small could hold so much energy.
"Alright little bugger, what do you want?" Laura leaned across the table. The papers could wait. Keeg excitedly placed a piece of paper on the table. Laura looked it over. Keeg had scribbled out a person with long hair and a yellow dress.
"Alright little bugger, what's this?" Keeg eagerly pointed to her before clapping.
"It's...me?" Keeg nodded and clapped again. Laura picked up the drawing. In the corner was two scribbles that could be writing.
"What do these say?" Keeg point to Laura and then himself, all done rather sheepishly compared to how much energy he had seconds ago.
"Let me help you there kiddo." Laura flipped the paper over. Very carefully, and quite a bit bigger than her normal handwriting, she drew an uppercase L.
"That's an l." Keeg ran off and returned with one of his crayons. Very carefully, he mimicked the writing.
"Very good. Now this is an a." Laura wrote carefully and Keeg mimicked. This continued until Laura had completely written out her name and Keeg had copied it. Keeg clapped joyously and spun around in the air.
"Now, do you want to write your name?" Keeg clapped more before making himself a spot in Laura's lap. Laura wrote down "Keeg Bovo" and Keeg quickly followed, but then he stopped.
"Something wrong?" Keeg made a whining noise and scribbled next to his name. Laura looked it over and could only make out two letters, an a and an o.
"Ahh, almost forgot your last name." Laura wrote down 'Trainor' underneath. Keeg wrote down his full name, this time 'Trainor' was in letters instead of scribbles.

It just occurred to me that Laura saw first-hand how Bendy lost her entire memory to time travel and proceeded to stay in the past permanently--because what did she have to go back to? Laura must have known perfectly well what she was getting into when volunteering for the time travel mission, and not only did she not bother to pack a bag of belongings for a mission she knew could be permanent, but she also chose not to write down any background information on herself or the mission she was sent on. Not even her own name. No change of clothes beyond the impersonal flight suit from the Brotherhood. She probably never intended to follow through with the mission and was only committing herself to the Brotherhood as a pretence. She so badly wanted the opportunity to erase her whole existence. What did it matter if time travel was fringe technology? Her goal was effectively to kill her life as she knew it.
But the thing that she doesn't anticipate: her inevitable instinct to find out who she is again once her memory was wiped. In her clean, pure-hearted state, having to discover all the atrocities she supposedly committed. Her resistance to believing that she could possibly be a bad person capable of doing these things, when she feels so free inside: this is probably the first iota of lenience bordering on forgiveness towards herself that she's felt in a very very long time--and it's not coming from someone else. It's coming from herself. For the first time in probably decades she gets to experience what it's like to believe herself a good person.
