I was good at English and history, but I wanted to design spaceships, damn it!
~Alan Dean Foster
Nemo enim fere saltat sobrius, nisi forte insanit. ("Almost nobody dances sober, unless he happens to be insane.")
~Cicero
Straddling a fine line between artistic and scientific, The Mantis is a socially oblivious follower of LookingForGroup and the works of Alan Dean Foster. Takes gleeful pleasure in pointing out the grievous errors of science-fiction shows. And watches the shows anyway. The Mantis reads prodigiously, not just science fiction and fantasy, but all genres. She particularly likes books aimed at teens and older children because they don't generally offend her old-fashioned sensibilities. She refuses to read any bestseller until it is ten years old, in a willful pursuit of social obliviousness. She recently made an exception for TheThirteenthTale, on the grounds that a relative gifted her with it and it hooked her on the first page.
The Mantis used to be Mantid. Then the site changed the way it worked and she could not figure out how to keep her moniker.
The Mantis has also discovered roleplaying. She officially makes the Worst Rogue Ever.
