==History and Activities==
"I've been a SF/Fantasy fan since...oh probably 5th grade or so. During the '80s and early '90s I was on the edge of actual fandom, but most of that kind of energy went into the Society for Creative Anachronism. In Feb of '95 I went online and found out that fanfiction was readily available and that I could write it. I haven't looked back."Now is the time on Sprockets when...we talk about me! intro post at InsaneJournal (Accessed 10 May 2011)
