Crotwell, originally from north of London, and who moved to Sydney, Australia in 2008, felt like she’d exhausted her dating options. She’d done online dating, only to find that it had become about as fun as being staked naked on an anthill: an endless round of coffees and quick after-work drinks where, “there’s no chemistry” and you “treat it like work, going on multiple meetings”. On top of all that, she says, there was also a harsh reality of gay dating: simply less people to choose from. “You just come across the same people across the years, it’s a very small pool of people to date,” says Crotwell. ....
Late 2019, Lucie Crotwell hit a breaking point. âI was 34, most of my friends had a partner, I just thought, âIâm getting older now, God, am I actually going to meet someone?â Illustration by Dionne Gain Credit: âIâve always known that Iâd like to get married when I met the right person,â says Crotwell, who is in media sales. âI knew I wanted to have children.

Control over conversations reigned, at a time when the virus was taking over the rest of our lives. ....

And if itâs a world they do know, I want it to feel familiar to them. If thereâs one thing I strive towards when it comes to writing, itâs legitimacy. And as a reader, Iâm looking for exactly the same thing. When it came to judging this competition, for young black writers aged between 16 and 21 on the theme of conversations, I spent a lot of time either being wowed by their penmanship, or astonished that I could so easily connect with what they were saying.
