Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.
Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).
Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.
I’m catching up on Ask Rogue/Wraith Squadron (three drawings a day for seven days - totally doable), so you guys should go and ask the cast of my webcomic stuff. They don’t just answer questions about history, y’know - they’ll answer anything you throw at them, even the weirder things!
It does help with character development, amongst other things, but it’s a lot of fun for everyone involved!
They’re still finishing setting up their Tumblr, but that doesn’t mean you can’t consult them on your history assignments.
Alternatively, if you’re interested in a career in history, you can ask them about that, too!
(Feel free to reblog this since we do genuinely want to help people like history and stuff…)
I launched the thing one week ago tonight and went to bed. I don’t think they’ve had an empty inbox for more than twelve hours since.
You guys are the greatest, seriously. Your questions are making me laugh so much and I’m having so much fun getting the Rogues and Wraiths to answer. I couldn’t do this without you - you’re the reason this blog is so much fun, not me! It’s all because of you wonderful people!
I’m the stupid mod who runs this one and I was wondering if I’m not alone…
