Richard Lobinske

**Richard Lobinske** is a creator of many true-life and sci-fi stories in the *Daria* fandom and a limited amount of fan art.

## Biographical Information

Also referred to as "The Bug Guy" (a term coined by Brother Grimace because he kept forgetting how to spell his name), he is an entomologist currently running a county hazardous waste program. He lives in Florida with his wife of 25+ years. He is a graduate of Lake/Sumter Community College, University of Central Florida and University of Florida. After lurking for a couple months at PPMB, he became an active member in May, 2004, producing his first story, "Saving One Last Summer" soon after. He is a co-administrator at PPMB, organized (or as some would say, disorganized) the Orlando Dariacon 2008 and co-administers the Daria Fanworks Awards.
