A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."

We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love. That's okay. _Laverne Cox Every person has a right to be who they are, and what they want to be, and no one else can judge them for that, and It's not only about one's sexuality. But there are very few percentages of the whole world's population, who believe in that statement, and spreading this realization has become one of the greatest reasons for hosting this award. No one, as an individual, can be stopped from growing strong, which is what 'Tyrell - Celebrating pride month' is about, and stories, are the best way of spreading any message, be it about LGBTQ+ empowerment, or self-love, and thus, we bring forth this award, in order to find the stories which have the sense of 'pride' this month is all about. Do you think your story has potential? Do you believe that your story has that pride? Well, then you'll HAVE to join, cause WE think that your story DOES have that pride, that growth, that message. What are you waiting for then, go ahead and join, cause we believe in you! (Pst...pst...Many hidden surprises inside ^-^) COVER BY @AlexVonnG | BANNERS BY @newsies- | BLURB BY @AlateSchmetterling

Tae Shin is a simple boy with simple dreams, who likes to hide his half-forgotten past into the shadows of his low self-esteem. Kim JaeHwan is a sole heir to a gigantic multi-billion conglomerate, who likes to reminisce the ghosts of his happy childhood a little more than what is healthy. Their childhood friendship was one that could be described by a pretty montage. Flashes of memories stuck in rose gold resin and sparkles. They held hands wherever they went, until life snatched Shin away and made him a shattered mess of the human he was. Only JaeHwan remembers the pretty parts; Shin is left with hollow nightmares of his childhood abuse and a crippling case of amnesia. When fate places them together once again, in the elite school of Royal Boys High, JaeHwan's memories blur and fuse with his fantasies. Where he dreams of loving his lost childhood friend once again. Shin would remember him, wouldn't he?

(Updates every Saturday) I never wanted to be part of a prophecy, shackled to fate, yet here I am, standing next to the king. I feel out of place, I miss my home, but I know there is only one way out of here, and that is forward. ~~~~~ Moira Mercia has always been a normal girl, up until she wasn't. During the festivities that take place on Pyre night, the birth of her powers took place, making her hair float and her skin shine like stars. Once her true abilities are shown to the world, it is only a matter of time until the capital hears about her existence and sends for her, taking her to the castle. ~~~~~ "Mummy! Daddy!" I scream, thrashing around, trying to make the bulky man let go of me. Tears are streaming down my face as I dig my nails into the man's back, pulling at his shirt, thrashing my arms around, anything to get him to put me down. "Let me go!" I scream, my vision blurry. ~~~~~ Join Moira as she embarks on a journey of betrayal, love and self-growth, navigating through the perils of life at court as a young farm-girl, the danger of the unknown and the risks she must take in order to make sure there is a future for the kingdom.
