AcaDeca by Alexandria Passanisi

AcaDeca is a story of identity, acceptance, and being really good at academic competitions. While studying for the Academic Decathlon, two lonely, autistic high school girls find companionship in each other through “West Wing” fanfiction, shared diagnosis, and the power of 80s pop culture. The duo struggles to recognize and accept their diagnoses while maintaining this budding friendship.

NPC by AJ

Have you ever wondered what the lives of the side characters of stories could be like? So do they. When they aren’t endlessly wiping out beer steins, serving the exact same coffee order, or listening to the lives and problems of the main characters, what do they do? What can they do? As Waitress and Bartender live vicariously through the lives of those who pass by, they debate intervening in the story, pick apart the actions of the characters, and wonder about what their lives might be if they weren’t stuck in this loop.
