About the Scriboners

ALEX AND JANE:
Alex and Jane met happenstancially during a rather drab summer. Bonding through their love of Disney, Chinese food, and ridiculous haircuts, they became the closest of friends.

In February of 2011, Alex proposed to Jane. And two days later, Jane realized Alex had proposed to her. And one car ride later, they were engaged.

Three months later, Alex moved away for three years.

Alex and Jane gathered the idea to write Rather Prolific from their friends, Kaitlin and Michael Branch (The Athele Series). After a meeting with the Branches, Alex decided that he and Jane should bridge the gap between their upcoming long distance endeavor by way of storytelling. And Rather Prolific was born.

Alex and Jane write Rather Prolific via Instant Message and email. The story will continue until May of 2014, when Alex returns home and the two partake in a steampunk wedding where they will dress as a clockmaker’s son and a rogue airship captain.

Their real names are not Alex and Jane; these names are taken from a song by Edward Sharpe. They both do not believe in 2012 and do believe in ice cream.

“JANE”
Jane is an author of books and plays. Her steampunk drama was produced in Chicago, IL, in mid- 2010. Her first book was first released in 2009 and discusses teens growing up in a Midwestern town during the Iraq War. She is also one of the co-authors of Steampunk Shakespeare, soon due for a bookstore near you. During the day, she is the head editor of YA and Sci Fi/Fantasy at a small publishing company. Due to popular belief, she has not in fact won a pancake-eating contest in Hannibal, Missouri.

“ALEX”
Alex is currently slaving away at law school and making responsible decisions for his future. He is also currently anticipating the release of Bioshock Infinite and wishes he had time to play Knights of the Old Republic. On his days off, he spends it working with inner city kids and driving 8 hours a weekend to see Jane. He is currently succeeding in being the real-life Marshall Erikson.
