A Nonny Mouse is a traveling geek that helps keep the world safe for democracy or from it, depending on the day.
Alpha Lyra is literally a product of the Apollo Space Program, her parents having met while working at NASA. She speaks to computers in their native language, but sometimes finds people inscrutable. She reads avidly, writes avidly, is interested in pretty much everything, and sails a Laser Radial, specializing in capsize recovery.
Amalia The Savage is an aspiring novelist traveling the worn path to publication with the rest of the starving. Sometimes she gets sidetracked by mythology, ancient history, and science! You can check out more of her blogoriffic exploits here: http://amaliadillin.blogspot.com
When she's not searching for the TARDIS in a city near you, Beatrice Blythe is probably reading a book. This lunatic fangirl is an educator, a professional singer, and an expert on the Panama Canal. Beatrice enjoys keeping up with her fandoms, spewing her opinion all over the interwebs, and hiking around the lovely Pacific Northwest (USA). Don't be alarmed if you find her peering in your windows at night -- she's just coveting your book collection. She'll go away if you give her a cookie.
Cyannide is a geek of many things. Computers, goth, zombies, Alice in Wonderland, and View Askew. She suffers from ADHD, but it makes for interesting thoughts and ideas. She also makes stuffed bunnies which can be found at http://my.tbaytel.net/mandyo/bunnies.html She is currently working on a zombie novella, and is a ref for a Roller Derby Team. Zombies, piercings, tattoos, bunnies, 0's and 1's. That's Cyannide.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
An unusual being was born. She was an odd child and grew up to become an even stranger young woman. The Jedi Order moved to recruit her as a youngling but she was rejected by Master Yoda himself because, despite her great power and thirst for useless knowledge, she proved even then that she could not be tamed. If trained, she would have become more powerful than any Jedi, but her madness and unwillingness to stay on one path of fandom would would cause chaos in the Force and throughout the entire Galaxy. Some also believe that her rejection was due to the fact that she asked Master Yoda if she could rub his head as well.
Having been rejected, our nameless and unstable rogue fled, running out to the Outer Rim where she was sought out by a dark figure whose name, when said, rebounded off of planets, shook skies, and made the very stars tremble.
Darth Squeamish had sought her out because like her, he had been the most powerful and had been rejected by all. The Jedi were wary of him, the Sith were jealous and angered with him. Darth Squeamish took her and raised her as his own daughter, naming her Darth Sweetums and taught her all that he knew. No one would truly understand her, he always told her, but she would have the superior knowledge of all the Force had to offer because instead of giving herself to just one fandom and rejecting all others, Darth Squeamish taught her how to appreciate multiple fandoms and rejoice in them all.
"If it is well written, my daughter, then you can learn from it and add to your power. That is all you need."
At last Darth Sweetums had found her solace in Darth Squeamish's teachings! It was so until one fateful day, Darth Squeamish had returned to their lair from a trip to the Evil Dry Cleaners of Doom to find Darth Sweetums writing FAN FICTON to their beloved fandoms!
Oh, how he stormed at her! He raged and stomped his feet until his toes nearly broke! But Darth Sweetums only stood, watching until he banished her.
It was on that day that Darth Sweetums understood. She was more powerful than Squeamish and it would always be so. Though she would miss him, she had to move on.
To this day, the legend that is Darth Sweetums roams throughout the galaxy and her beliefs are only this:
Giving yourself to multiple fandoms is dangerous, but there is no other way to live.
On she travels, writing amusing Batman fan fictions, quoting lines from Ghostbusters, finding new ways to ellude the Borg, and of course, learning of the great and powerful Force. You may see her as she goes, but be warned, she may appear kind and only ask you to read the next chapter in her Doctor Who fan fic. But do not cross her with weak, pointless arguments, especially those of Star Trek vs Star Wars. For she will win and grind you into the dirt with her collapsible lightsaber while preparing your way to Stovacore!
The DeadCat is a parental unit who wishes for twenty-nine hour days and a force-field to keep little hands away from her laptop and drawing table. In college she wrote essays about how to piss people off that were well-received, so she continued on with this 'writing' thing.
In retrospect, she probably shouldn't have.
Fluffy Bunny is a graphic artist and movie freak from Orlando, Florida. If you raise her left arm at just the right angle while simultaneously honking her nose, she will poop actual unicorns.
She does not recommend this as a first date tactic.
Goddess of All is just that-- the Goddess who must take control of the world around her. She fills her world with beauty, music, delicious aromas as well as masks, handcuffs and leather. Don't be fooled by her gentle appearance. Her magical creations will delight your every sense and her voice will take you from the heights of heaven then plunge you into the depths of hell. Her touch alternates between healing and pain, but she will only bring out the whip if you beg.
The KitchenJedi was doomed to be a Geek Mom when she realized that she referred to folding a fitted sheet as a +2 skill. With four kids, a domestically challenged husband, two cats, and a sense of humor best found in a dark tavern surrounded by Dwarves, she hopes that she can spend every day doing what she loves best: Preparing her geeks to inherit the Earth. (Or to take over the world in a fit of evil, whichever works best.) http://withlovemeg.blogspot.com
Logical Poet is, as her name suggests, an aspiring writer who occasionally moonlights as a paraconsistent logician. She enjoys memorizing obscure bits of trivia from her favorite books, getting really excited about poetry, and rambling about The X-Files to anyone who will listen. On special occasions she has been known to dress as Samwise Gamgee, complete with handmade elven-cloak.
The birth certificate says 1971, but Emilie Conroy (or Mv2.3) seems to have gotten stuck in a warp pocket of the time-space continuum, which has kept her looking and feeling childlike, with a mind drinking in everything around her like a she-sponge. As a media professional she primarily writes, but she's also in love with all things tech, especially those things which allow her to create. She's been doing this cyberspace thing since 1993 (good old Prodigy and CompuServ) and why? Because she ADORES it! She has been bouncing inside a sci-fi cabal as far back as she can remember, with tentacles, zombies, and all things space travel topping the list of favorites. Emilie's specializes in the space opera anime series of the 1970's such as Yamato, Macross, and Gatchaman. She was a fearleader at Miskatonic University until her tentacles dropped off and she had to enroll at a normal university. Her web empire includes: http://scarchives.blogspot.com ,
Nightsky: Occasional flashes of brilliance, separated by long stretches of windy emptiness. She has a couple of degrees in computer science, and shares the World's Messiest House with a cat named Jack the Tripper. Day job is making sure satellites stay up. (Don't worry; we use the extra strength Velcro.)

Oberonia. What is Oberonia? The existential dilemma, right? Human Female of average height and fluffy build...but that's just the physical. Is she made up of stardust and wishes? Oxygen and intentions? Muck and ooze? Ink and Celluloid? The answer to all of those is probably a resounding - "Yes". Writer of waking dreams :: Inventor of new places for semicolons.
Pearce is a shameless promoter of her own exploits (currently, a premium absinthe company - http://www.southernalchemy.net/). She also believes she is invincible. She enjoys long walks on the rings of Saturn, keeping gorgeous geniuses close by in case of zombie apocalypse, and Philip K. Dick.
Peta Jinnath Andersen is a lit geek who'll eat almost anything--as long as it's dipped in chocolate and completely vegetarian. Semicolons are her favorite piece of punctuation; the Brothers' Grimm, Coraline, and Pride & Prejudice are her go-to books; & her favorite color is blue (like the TARDIS). When not writing, she’s busy feeding her four addictions—books, chocolate, Daleks, & baby tickling. Find her on the web *Insert Literary Blog Name Here*, @PetaAndersen, or email her at

Pixel Chick has worked as a consultant, copyeditor and governmental cog, but prefers life in the data stream and all forms of digital media. This allows her to geek out on several of her passions simultaneously.
Sassy Chick lives aboard a 38' Hans Christian with a one-eyed cat named Rocco and a bulldog that goes by Higgins. She spends her days asking sailors what they do for soap, leaving a trail of unmade beds and broken dreams strewn behind her.
Sweet Clementine is a recently discovered geek. She was found in a handbag, under a cabbage leaf, placidly reading the Silmarilion, while fending off grubs with her very own sonic screwdriver. Her brain defied even Sylar’s ability to puzzle out, leaving him mumbling in a corner about his parents, while she set off to find adventures and friends elsewhere. She now roams the earth, pencil in hand, shoving her nose into books and the conversations people have about them.
Uber Wench, the webmistress and general control freak at GeekaChicas, sprang fully formed from her father’s forehead. She enjoys unmitigated adoration and making things squeak. She owns five different styles of riding crop, but no horse.
