This Week's Features

Advertising To Children - Debate Notes by CavyMomma

"Advertising is everywhere you look. From the books on your desk and the clothing you wear to the music you listen to and the stuff you watch on TV. It’s no different for children."

This clear, succinct article delves into the many-faceted realm of advertising, and the effects it may be having on younger minds, whether we realise it, or not.

The Rabbit's Hole | Paint It Red by Gingersanps

Her murderer was an artist.
“It’s not the Queen of Hearts,” she said standing. “We’ve got a copycat.”

This story puts a fresh spin on an old tale. Meet Detective Alice McGee, and join her on the hunt for the infamous serial killer, the Queen of Hearts. Where will the investigation lead her next?

starving artist [a manifesto of sorts] by blalock27

"i'd rather be a starving artist
than a swollen automation"

This poem is something many artists can relate to. It speaks of the struggle to realise ones own truths and individuality in a world driven by conformity.

Seventeen-year-old Bonnie Baker has grown up on TV—she and her twelve siblings are the stars of one-time hit reality show Baker’s Dozen. Since the show’s cancellation and the scandal surrounding it, Bonnie has tried to live a normal life, under the radar and out of the spotlight. But it’s about to fall apart…because Baker’s Dozen is going back on the air.
