Basic Info| Name: | rarelylynne |
|---|---|
| Location: | De Kalb, Illinois, United States |
| Website: | Confessions of a Curator, Editor, Writer, Geek |
BioRare book librarian, feminist, mother to a young lady with Aicardi Syndrome. Often tired, occasionally grumpy, needing to rant. This is my personal blog (as opposed to my work blog), and consists mostly of fandom stuff, along with updates about life and my family. I'll try not to embarrass myself. But I'm pretty sure that I'll manage to do so at some point. I usually do. It's one of my endearing qualities.
I'm the Curator of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, where I am responsible for popular culture special collections that include the literary papers of over 50 SF/F authors. I'm the co-author of Special Collections 2.0, a book about web 2.0 technologies and special collections in libraries with Beth Whittaker (Libraries Unlimited, 2009), as well as academic articles about cross-dressing in dime novels and using libraries to survive the zombie apocalypse. I'm perhaps best known as the co-editor of the Hugo-nominated Chicks Dig Time Lords (2010) with Tara O’Shea, and Whedonistas (2011) with Deborah Stanish, essay collections celebrating women involved in media fandoms and the production of television series, published by Mad Norwegian Press. Her next book will be Chicks Dig Comics, with Sigrid Ellis (2012). In November I take over as the editor of Apex Magazine.
Feel free to friend me if you'd like to follow along. I don't automatically friend back, necessarily, unless we're friends or working together IRL; I just can't read everything, sadly.
