One does not simply write ~thematically satisfying~ eighth grade book reports.
Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who loved ASOIAF. Then Game of Thrones happened. We started writing, picked up some fellow fandomentals from across all spectrums of fanthings, and never looked back.
Please wait while salt is gathered...

Writer
Angela is a full-time fantasy nerd. She is either reading a novel or talking about one. Or is watching Lord of the Rings for the hundredth time. Character archetypes and cultural context always fascinate her.
Writer
Barbara is a religious studies grad student who uses fandom to avoid working on her thesis.
Writer
Bo relaxes after long days of staring at computers by staring at computers some more, and feels slightly guilty over his love for Villanelle.
Writer
Caroline is a lawyer by day, geeky media fan and critic by night, afternoon, and lunch hour. Caroline enjoys long walks on quiet beaches so she can mentally over-analyze fictional characters and settings, and candlelit dinners that don’t cause a glare on her TV screen.
Writer
David is a dental hygienist by day, gamer by night. He enjoys making character sheets when bored, and re-reading the same book for the twentieth time.
Writer
Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. Trying to prove to a nation you can do more with literature than teach when everyone thinks if you have a literature degree you’re going to teach. Likes to pretend she doesn’t have social anxiety by hiding behind books and her laptop.
Writer
Taylor is a writer who will always jump at the chance to blur genres. So obviously she can’t pick just one to fangirl over. Though if she had to choose, she would narrow it down to science fiction and fantasy. Currently, she is most interested in women-centric stories and the depiction of trauma in media. She is also an aspiring YA novelist and aspiring Taylor Swift scholar.
Writer
Julia has far too many hobbies and complex emotions. She may or may not be an actual Martell.
WRiter
Michał is a natural meddler, driven to take fiction apart and see how it works. In The Fandomentals, he examines fantasy and gaming with a critical, and somewhat cranky, eye.
Writer
Michelle is a recovering academic and burgeoning film and TV nerd. They love sci-fi/fantasy, comics, dystopias, LGBTQIA+ themes and characters, and character-driven comedies (sign them up for anything made by Michael Schur). Michelle loves reading, writing, and thinking about feminism, gender and LGBTQIA+ issues, and social justice in the context of film and TV.
Writer
Currently a film major with a focus in directing and a passion for all things writing, film, television and theater, oh my!
