AUTUMN TERM

OCTOBER 
Sunseeker
  • phrase

The found family trope is a common source of comfort for queer individuals, with fanfic writers exploring this in depth. Fan fiction allows communities to interact with the source material and interpret characters in a unique number of ways. We hope that some of you may begin to consider fan-fiction as a more serious literary medium and not for the One Direction Wattpad fanfics you grew up reading (even if Y/N and her messy bun were lowkey iconic).

NOVEMBER 
Capture the Flag
  • phrase

Some groups are pushing a harmful far-right agenda. Now more than ever, building community is vital. This edition aims to illuminate intersectionality and culture while providing comfort to those who seek it.

DECEMBER
Comforting Cuisines
  • phrase

As the winter holidays draw near and the days grow shorter, it's natural to feel a sense of homesickness. But food always has a special way of bridging that distance. Our meals reflect our unique flavours, identities, culture and traditions. It could be a traditional family recipe that has been passed down from generations or just the sense of comfort from your favourite food. In this edition, we will celebrate those dishes that make us feel at home, or represent the feelings and values we hold dear. We hope this edition brings you a comforting taste of the home you long for during this season.
