Once upon a time, many, many years ago, when the Xenaverse was young and the fandom was new and naïve, I was invited to join an online, women-only (we later learned your mileage may vary on that), queer-friendly mailing list. I met so many remarkable women. I discovered many incredibly talented writers there. I tried my hand at writing. I made friends. One friend I made was named Jennifer. But the mailing list was lousy with Jennifers, so we insisted that they use nicknames so we could tell them apart – thus Jenbob was born.
