Jill0r (Jill C.) is an illustrator, cartoonist, painter, costumer and whatever else checking in from central Florida. A recent Boston transplant, she finished up a BFA in Illustration and Animation. Her professors nipped at her heels, barking that she "choose a style and stick with it," but unable to follow directions, Jill is doing whatever she darn well pleases and is having a good time with it.

While school taught her that animation isn't her bag, she loves to doodle up cute cartoon critters and sling paint around, gluing down whatever she finds laying around nearby.

She grew up in Connecticut, and had a lot [a lot!] of pets,which inspired her love for illustrating animals. Jill also has a great time building and wearing critter costumes, chasing after her pet cats and waggling her fingers. She's done several professional freelance projects and is currently looking for her "big break" while slaving for A Large Vacation Resort in the Orlando area.

Will Sanborn works as a digital hardware designer, and builds pieces of "computer chips" for a living. He's been involved in the design, debug or support aspects on such products as networking appliances, flash-based hard drives, and USB cores for a variety of consumer products.

Will discovered anthropomorphics back in the golden age of the internet. He's been active in the fandom, with writing and conventions, since the early to mid-90s.

He discovered way back then, that engineers could indeed write fiction, and has enjoyed exploring that playground of the mind ever since. When he's not busy with work or indulging his love of watching movies, he puts his energy into creative projects, including writing and photography. Will's forte is character-driven stories. He'd much rather write drama or romance, than try and write a bio to describe his own life.

Will is a native of New England, and though the winters drag on too long for him, he adores the magic of autumn there. He also loves being within driving distance of both the mountains and the ocean. The warm weather finds him hiking, and he's working his way through the forty-eight 4000-foot-plus peaks in the White Mountains. His other favorite summer pastime is hitting amusement parks to ride roller coasters with his extreme-ride-enthusiast friends.
