Christine D. Baker, Historian and Cat-Wrangler
Nerd specializations: History over all other things, especially ancient and medieval history. Memes and Early Internet culture. SFF books and short stories. Working to develop a specialization in Canadian SFF.
Bio: Christine has a PhD in History, although not in anything immediately relevant to SFF fandom. She's currently working through all the Hugo award winners and podcasting about it at Hugo History
(@hugohistory.bsky.social). In addition to SFF nerdery, she also does a lot of weight lifting, open-water swimming, and kayaking. You can find her posting photos of her cats at @klaxoncomms.com on Bluesky. (Klaxon is her freelance writing and editing business; so named because Christine is often a human klaxon.)Maya Barbara
Nerd specialism: horror, literary fiction, pop culture
Bio: Maya Barbara, or known by a few as Babs, hails from West Tennessee where you can find her yelling about something pop culture related. She is also a high school English teacher who has moonlighted as a pop culture researcher/reporter for an uneven amount of years. You can summon her by talking about hyperspecific pop culture history or Interview With The Vampire (2022), the only show she’s trying to create a cult for.
Stew Hotston, The Mummy Librarian
Nerd Specialisms: Books, movies, sword fighting
Bio: Stew is an author of all kinds of science fiction and fantasy. He's also a keen Larper (he owns the UK Fest system, Curious Pastimes). He's a sometime physicist and currently a banker in the City of London. A Subjective Chaos and BFA finalist he's also Chair of the British Science Fiction Association and Treasurer for the British Fantasy Society.
Eddie Clark
Eddie Clark
Nerd specialisms: SFF books. Video Games. Anime. The intersection of gay shit with all 3.
Bio: For his sins, Eddie has a day job which involves talking and writing about very specific nerd fixations to people who are at least nominally just as interested in them. Outside work, he takes a break by hiking, taking photos, and indulging in very specific nerd fixations and talking to people on the internet about them, which is of course very different from work. (He's an academic. All public nerdery, all the time).
Gabrielle Harbowy, part-time elf
Nerd Specialisms: TTRPGer, Team Star Wars. Totally normal about Baldur's Gate 3.
Bio: Gabrielle is an editor, writer of TTRPG adventures, novels, and short fiction, and she's a literary agent with Corvisiero Literary Agency. She loves cats, ravens, tattoos, starry skies, and playing tourist in her own city. When she's not reading or writing, she's thinking about reading and writing. She has a patreon focused on querying, writing, and game stuff at patreon.com/gabrielle_h, and can be found on bluesky at gabrielle-h and online at gabrielleharbowy.com.
