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.).…

Surviving the Experience of Running a Pervasive Larp (5×5 #7)
New month, new Monday – new compilation of 25 hints, tips and tricks about larping. Before we dig in, though, let’s just keep in mind that I’ve only played two pervasive larps so far and co-GMed one (Astra Larp) – so this is definitely just a start. Still, while the Astra experience is fresh, I…

Sky Full of Astra – 7 Things I’ve Enjoyed the Most as a Co-GM in Astra Larp
A week ago, the co-alpha and I’s twelve day long pervasive larp Astra ended with a ceremony promoting the spy recruits into apprentice agents in our fictional secret agency, “Astra”.

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…

The Wolf on Fanfiction
Note: Pic (featured) by trancer21. Pic (above) by phoenixdown. It’s multifandom. Of sorts. Geekery (lovely word, just trying it out), at lest where I’m from, often includes some form of derivative work made by fans of a certain universe (or fandom, to be politically correct). Some larps (like, say, these) can also be seen as a…
