Emil, 26, he/him
trans masc, nonbinary (genderfluid?), aceflux, mlm
» Howdy, I'm Emil. Square Enix owns my soul, especially when it comes to NieR, FF7, and KH. My big introduction to fandom was back in the days of gaming forums and Geocities pages, and I've got a pretty extensive resume that includes a lot of years in the event management field working at, presenting at, and running anime conventions and online events, as well as having run a fairly successful small business. I've built and managed multiple web stores including shipping and money management including doing charity fundraisers.
» I did the formatting, layout, physical printing, shipping, credits, and contributor storefront management for Nameless (@LovelessZine)
» Contributor for Brewbook (@potionsbrewbook), Flurry of Dancing Flames (@axelflamezine), 10 Years of Tears (@nie_zine), Dis-Organizine (@Disorganizine), Trans Masc Artists Zine (@TransMascsZine).

Lead Writing Mod
Mary Woodard, 25, she/her or he/him

» Hi, I'm Mary. This is my third time being a Writing Mod and sixth zine over all. In addition to this, I'm currently modding for Soft and Warm: A Plus-sized Sapphics zine and contributing to Cosmic Vows: An LeaIsa Zine and Potions Brewbook. I tend to write a lot about the intersection of queer issues and neurodivergence/mental health. I also literally walked out of a class for being told I couldn't write Sci-fi/Fantasy and have never regretted it. When I'm not keeping myself busy with zines I'm annoying my fur children, introducing the girlfriends to my newest hyperfixation, or selling my soul to Tetsuya Nomura by replaying Kingdom Hearts 2 for the hundredth time.

In the real world, I have experience with design for theatre both on-stage and in print, as well as merch experience from tabling at various conventions in the Southeastern US. I am also one part of a small, queer-owned, four-person business called Cosmica Sidera— we like to make all things spooky, occult, and out of this world!

I'm primarily a writer, but sometimes I'm a streamer, a video essayist, and a rapper. justmynarratives.com is my website where I post stories I write. I write a lot of horror, a lot of microfiction, and a lot of queer stories, with some good overlap. Each story also has a word count and a description to help you pick out what works for your schedule, taste, attention span, whatever! Currently I have a lot of projects in the works, including a video essay on the Scott Pilgrim comics and an upcoming rap feature.
