The First SnW Articles Series And The Oncoming Spring
…or, just a few reasons I’m seriously looking forward to spring this year – and what you can expect, too, in the oncoming month. The co-alpha’s birthday is approaching, speed-of-light style, and I’m in the middle of a project related to that.(<3) I just felt the need to warn you I might babble about it […]

Still getting ready for the outdoor season… is it ever gonna start? Today I wish to address my newbie friends and potential future larp newbies with a couple of quick tips for those just about to embark on their first (or first longer lasting) larp event.

8 Smoaky Ways to Kick Ass Without Having to Kick Any Asses
I’m sure the title kinda explains itself – but if not, enjoy this magnificent picture of Felicity Smoak, one of my currently favourite female characters in all of geeky tv. The list was directly inspired by Arrow 2×14 Time of Death – in which Felicity had to learn some of the lessons on her own skin. Disclaimer: Anything […]

The Alderaan Glitch (Larp in a Familiar Setting Part #2)
Remember the Star Wars larp I went to last weekend? As it turns out, I was right to have my doubts – but for totally different reasons. The thing is – people are passionate beings (hurray!). And familiar settings are a thing of passion. Which, in the end, means the same for fandoms as for […]

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 […]

Lack a Reason to Quit a Tv Show?
Here’s just a couple I’ve come by. Lack of characters. The one thing a show cannot live without. If there’s no one to care for – and even agent Ward was not hopeless – why bother watching at all? Lack of script. I admit, this has more to do with crime shows than with regular […]

Full Moon Special #2 – Being a Larper
Welcome to the second Full Moon Special at Skirts’n’Wolves! A month ago I talked about planning a mystery trip for your pack, and now I tackle a subject even closer to home – one of the things I identify as – being a larper. I’d never dare say I speak for everyone – but I’m […]

Got Skirt, Will Interview
A curious thing happened to me recently. I’d applied for a job which suits me a bit better than the one I currently have (for several reasons, biggest of all being co-alpha proximity!) and got an interview slot – for the next day, naturally. And what to I do? I go to my manager, get […]
