Mod Profile: jazzyjess and PeroxidePirate
by Lisa and wordy
Name: jazzyjess (Jess)
Role: Mod of Games, Entertainment, and The Back Alley
Years in fandom: Approximately nine years.
Fandom activities: Fanficcer and Goldenlake's own Official Red Herring Spotter.
Favorite character: Raoul, Kel, and Sandry.
Least favorite character: Daine. Wyldon/Kel, though it's a bit of a guilty pleasure.
Anything else you should know: Jess was definitely a force to be reckoned with during the 2010 SMACKDOWN, and shows the same enthusiasm for all she participates in. She will happily devour any fic you throw her way and is a delightful, caring person, as well as a charming and gifted writer.
In summary: Jess is Goldenlake's resident Raoul fangirl. If you read too many of her fics, you'll find you've been won over to

Name: PeroxidePirate (Nicki)
Role: Moderator of Writers' Circle and Emelan Fanfiction
Years in fandom: that’s a really good question… at least five years!
Fandom activities: fanfic author, icon/banner-maker, rational conversationalist
Favorite character: Daja Kisubo, Buriram Tourakom, Keladry of Mindelan
Least favorite character: Domitan of Masbolle
Anything else you should know: Nicki is amazing, plain and simple. She approaches writing as a craft, and in doing so is able to best tackle serious issues (like the search for a home and normalcy after Will of the Empress in a 31_days saga, or writing Kel/Owen in the form of transgendered femslash, during SMACKDOWN) with maturity and poignancy. What makes her a great moderator is that she’s fun and serious at the same time, which is wonderful for discussing a work-in-progress. She’s also among the few people who truly write as much Emelan-fic as Tortall-fic.
In summary: The easiest way to show Nicki’s nature as a writer is to use her own words: “I write character-heavy, plot-weak short fics for both fandoms. I write drabbles. I write disorganized essays about what fiction make me think about the world. … I analyze things from a feminist standpoint, and I believe fiction matters.
