A recipient of various awards, Phil has published dozens of columns, short stories, essays, interviews, and comics, in addition to the roleplaying games for which hes famous.

Lee C. Hillman - Although she's been writing both original and transformative stories since she could hold a pen, Lee (or Gwen or Gwenly, to be adverbial) considers herself primarily a fanfiction author and has become a fascinated informal scholar of both fan culture and transformative works. Known online as "GwendolynGrace," she is a founding administrator at FictionAlley, where she moderates discussion boards and records readings for their fanfiction podcast, "SpellCast." She ran the first Harry Potter Conference (Nimbus - 2003) for HP Education Fanon, Inc. (www.hpef.net/), and although she is the outgoing President of their Board of Directors, she looks forward to their upcoming conferences in 2008 (www.hp2008.org/), 2009 (Level Two), and 2010 (Infinitus). Too much of the time, she can be found writing transformative fiction, particularly for the show "Supernatural," on her LiveJournal. By day she is a Project Manager, on the weekends she is a Baroness and bard in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and at all times, but mostly in the evenings, she is an actor, singer, and dancer in Boston area theatre. Sleep is optional.
