A Million Generations of Fans
Being late to the party in terms of fandoms can be a tricky thing. What if your favourite (possible) ship has already gone out in a blaze of glory? What if the tumblr side of things has already steered into the acid lakes of hate, flame and basic human indecency? Why would you even dare…

Year’s End Favourites – SnW in 2014
The year’s almost gone, celebrating twelve full months of the Skirts’n’Wolves blog! While I prep stuff for the next twelve months (and trust me – you wouldn’t believe me if I told you how frakkin’ much there is to prepare), let’s sit back, relax with a cup of your favourite winter beverage (mine’s currently awesome Turkish coffee –…

The 9 Ports of Shipping (Full Moon Special #12)
Thus it came to pass that the twelfth Full Moon has risen above this humble larper (and larping writer) as she goes on with her monthly howling celebrations. This time – for this awesome year’s last Full Moon – we discuss the practice commonly known as shipping, ships, and everything else that rocks your ocean. For the…

Do You Speek Geek? The Great Geek/Muggle Language Barrier (Full Moon Special #11)
The other day, one of my geeky colleagues (currently I’ve got but three) dropped by at the children’s department and we undertook a few minutes long chit-chat about random stuff (such as, what’s that you’ve got printed on your shirt – oh, it’s that and that fandom because of this and that ship – etc.).…

Imagine, Build, Create Together – Getting Ready for Astra Larp (Full Moon Special #10)
Astra Larp, a twelve day pervasive larp designed and run by the co-alpha and I, starts in exactly seven days, on Wednesday, October 15th. As we near launch time (on the 15th, sometime during the morning), wrap everything that’s left to wrap (err… many things), the Full Moon will slowly start to wane and hide…

The Importance of Writing What You Love (Full Moon Special #8)
Please note that I’m no professional in terms of getting paid to write (although writing, luckily, is a part of my current job). Therefore, I can be all “write what you love” etc. hippie. I would never suggest it’s the only way to be happy as a writer – it’s just a MO which currently…

10 Things To Surprise You In The 100
Disclaimer: everything you recognize probably belongs to the CW. Fun and fandom purposes only. Also, SPOILERS!!! While I keep professing my love for all things YA (yeah, I even gave The Tomorrow People a chance – 45 minutes of my life lost forever), it’s no wonder I’d been looking forward to The 100 for a couple…

The Fanlarp (Full Moon Special #6)
Happy Full Moon! And it’s a thirteenth. And Friday, to add to that – plenty of scary fun to be had in the Moonlight… or anywhere else, for that matter. They say the next Friday Thirteenth Full Moon will be in 2049! So you better take good care to honour this one. Let me add…

Larping And Reading And Theory, Oh My
Why would anyone read about larps, you ask? Larping is one of those things which have to be seen before you believe them. In other words – reading about larps is the same as reading about chocolate; you will probably get an idea about what it is, but there’s no way in hell for you…

The Wolf on YA And Doing What You Fear the Most
It’s been nine years since I’ve first helped organize a sci-fi convention in Croatia, and in the meantime I’ve held over a dozen quizzes, ten+ random games and a lecture or two. I’ve never, though, held a panel – until this month’s SFeraKon 2014. Organizing a panel turned out to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever…
