Who is this striking young lady?

Lindsay is a student of science with a strong attraction to the world of art in all its forms. She loves traveling, circus, and being underwater. Her favorite animal is the wolf and her favorite word is bath, followed closely by arrow and sparkle. Her hair has been called “curl challenged” and she has been called “compulsively adorable”. Once a swimmer, always a swimmer, Lindsay has been a competitive swimmer since she was 7, though presently she has retired from the world of chlorine in favor of trapeze, silks and acrobatics. (A pisces, she invites anyone to muse about her seamless change from water to air.) Lindsay’s vibrant career as a writer reached its peak in third grade when one of her stories was made into a class play in which she was both an actor and the director. Always looking for a new adventure, Lindsay hopes to see you at Anticipation this summer.

Science Fiction History:

Lindsay was read Carl Sagan’s Contact by her father when she was in elementary school. He also introduced her to the movie around the same time – it is still one of her favorite movies. She devoured worlds hungrily and by the end of middle school she had read hundreds upon hundreds of books, mostly within the genres of fantasy and science fiction . Her reading slowed as she began to roleplay (text-based storytelling free form roleplaying) and to write instead. She created worlds with a passion that was as an O main sequence star, so hot and bright that it was not long sustained. By college she was no longer consuming nor creating worlds with any mentionable frequency…

At Hampshire College Lindsay met the amazing Jacob (found elsewhere on this blog.) She was introduced formally to table-top gaming and is currently in multiple campaigns (Rune Quest, D&D, and Paranoia) and she has even tried her hand at DMing a one-shot D&D campaign (and she will be DMing another one-shot in Hampshire’s upcoming semesterly Deathfest tournament!) Jacob also introduced her to webcomics (her favorites currently include Tom Siddell’s Gunnerkirgg Court and Professors Phil & Kaja Foglio’s Girl Genius – though she much prefers it when he reads Girl Genius aloud to her) and, most importantly of all, he introduced her to Science Fiction Conventions! Lindsay attended Arisia in both 2007 and 2008 (In 2008 she was one of the Cute Coat Check Chicks and it is possible you spotted her dressed mostly in geometric-looking Black Body Paint.) In 2007 she also attended I-con. In August 2009 she plans to attend Anticipation.

Needless to say, her passion has been re-ignited and Lindsay is now reading, writing, roleplaying and doodling comics in the pages of her Astronomy and Geology notebooks. She may even post some of these comics at some point, though she would like to warn you, she has a very interesting drawing style based mostly off her inability to actually draw well. (Hey, even she can’t be entirely perfect…) Regardless, Lindsay is having a blast being science-y and fiction-y, so keep checking back for more awesome things!
