6	[[caption-width-right:350: "This is, in my opinion, so far (Aug 16th 2005) the best photograph ever taken of me. I look like me, to me, in this picture. By that, I mean I see my personality in this picture. And I don't look completely ugly. Just sort of ugly."]]
7	Author of the ScienceFiction webcomic trilogy consisting of:
8
9	* ''Webcomic/UnicornJelly''
10	* ''Webcomic/PastelDefenderHeliotrope''
11	* ''Webcomic/ToSaveHer''
12
13	She also wrote a number of stories set in the universe of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' (a popular fanfiction for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'') under the pen name Chatoyance, collectively known as the “[[Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheChatoverse Chatoverse]]”. Some of them have nothing to do with MLP; some are in line with the show itself; and still others are self-admitted InNameOnly stories where the pony background is not as important as the science fiction themes. The Chatoverse was divisive within the MLP fanfiction community, attracting both committed fans and detractors.

15	Reitz also designed and illustrated the 1991 puzzle video game ''VideoGame/{{Boppin}}''.

20	!! Tropes common to JDR’s work:
21
22	* AlienGeometries: Different in each universe.
23	* AuthorAppeal: LGBT characters and themes, polyamorous relationships, transhumanism, universes with AlienGeometries and fictional physics.
24	* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Also different in each universe.
25	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Many of her [[http://jenniverse.com/undergroundcomixmain.html Underground Comix]] (NSFW) played into stereotypes that Reitz now denounces. "Faggot Fred And His Five Fabulous Fuckbuddies" is a prominent example of this.
26	* HumansAreBastards: Her ''[[Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheChatoverse Chatoverse Conversion Bureau]]'' stories have this as a major theme.
27	* MindScrew: As you may be able to figure out from this page, everything JDR makes is '''absolutely bizarre.'''
28	%%* MinovskyPhysics
29	* TheMultiverse: A very complex and varied one in her webcomics.
30	* OccidentalOtaku: A lot of her works have an {{animesque}} flair to them.
31	* OneBookAuthor: She wrote a lot of comics and stories but released only one video game, ''VideoGame/{{Boppin}}'', under the moniker “Accursed Toys”. It’s a fairly original puzzle game whose backstory contains all her usual AuthorAppeal.
32	* ReclusiveArtist: Very little is known about her as a person outside her work, and what ''is'' known is heavily speculated to be out of date or made up (by her or other parties)
33	* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: Used in her [[Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheChatoverse Chatoverse Conversion Bureau]] to justify what is essentially a genocidal campaign with the goal of transforming all humans into ponies. She described her rationale in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/27678/ten-minutes-aftermath#comment/671772 this]] comment on her story Ten Minutes: Aftermath.
34	-->''In my stories superior beings - truly superior beings - can do things that if a lesser being, like a human, were to do, it would indeed be evil.''
35	%%* StarfishAliens
36	* SuperiorSpecies: Her stories of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' portray ponies as this, especially when compared to [[HumansAreBastards humanity.]]
