Autobiography
My claim to fame is being Wervyn's wife, so I married into the community. My more widely-used default internet username is PuellaDocta. I've been promoted to Official Emoji Manager on the Discord (at MZXCon 2017), and recreated some iconic MZX images that you can get on a shirt!
Life Pre-Wervyn
I've been obsessed with art, fiber crafts, and stories as far back as I can remember. I got into computer graphics and websites when I was in middle and high school, and I've loved creative writing since I was a child, and after college graduation, I finally wrote the first draft of the novel I'd been poking at since late middle/early high school. I worked as a graphic & web designer/administrative assistant by day, and an author by night.
After three years of that, I met Wervyn at his cousin's wedding and...
Life Post-Wervyn
...the rest, they say, is history! Also, Wervyn introduced me to volunteering at MomoCon, and I've been working in their social media department for years now.
I'm a social media manager/graphic designer/administrative assistant & author by day, artist by night! We share our house with our two cats.
Games
I'm not much of a programmer unless you're talking HTML and CSS, so I haven't done much game programming in MZX.
- I tried to make one game about a little lost potato that goes looking for his brother at my first MZXCon (2011), but I never got further than the title screen.
- During the BKZX at MZXCon 2017, I made my first official game for the prompt "Waiting Room."
MZXCons
I really felt like I was a part of the gang when I got to actually meet other MZXers at MZXCon 2011. At karaoke, I bring the showtunes and sing loud and proud! I'm also known for occasionally cooking everyone bacon and eggs on the last morning. I also tend to make a graphic for each con we host.
Wervyn and I hosted MZXCon 2013 and 2017 at Wervyn's parent's house. Unfortunately, on account of peoples' cat allergies, we won't be hosting at our house.
