About Our Writers


Awkward Turtle writes Honest Turtle's Honest Advice. When not doing this, she stares blankly at nearby walls.

BonzoWhale, the semi-professional blogger, has two hobbies: avoiding making an effort in life, and music. Whenever he's not coming up with hilarious content for his blog, A-Ward Per Day, or drawing scenes from his imaginary second life, he's listening to music. For our Newsletter, he shares his alleged musical expertise for those looking for new stuff to listen to in rock, jazz, and everything in between. If you're wondering if that new hipster prog rock band's album is any good, you'll probably want his opinion.

When Fuddlebob isn't busy playing Pokémon, he likes to pretend that he knows what he's doing. You can see this in action as he attempts to keep you updated on all the gaming-related news around the forum.

HappySadFace spends her days as a Wordsmith and her nights as a stripper. She likes cupcakes, laser tag and blanket forts. You will always know when she's around due to her propensity for flashing. She takes care of Recipes for Those Who are Afraid of Cooking, Crossword of the Month, and The Poetry Corner. She wants to be Sailor Moon when she grows up.

In her spare time, Kat fills you in on who's tossing whose shrimp onto what barbie. In her taken time, she tries not to destroy people with caffeine addictions.

Lacrema is a 65-year old Norwegian fisherman who moonlights as She-Ra at her local pub, the Puppy Punter: Horrorscopes

MadeInCanada lives a simple life up in Canadia, running a bacon tree orchard and harvesting syrup from the maple bees. In her spare time, she enjoys writing about the humorous happenings in her life in her blog, Adventures of a Misguided Klutz. She will be providing her own perspective on the happenings of this forum with MADEINCANADA'S (SHITTY) COMIC OF AWESOMENESS™.


Monkeytoes is a Jill of all trades and a Mistress of none - except SexyTimes. She is feminist scholar, a snarky cultural critic, a nerd with a perennial love of Star Trek, a woman of nearly 30 who still loves coloring in coloring books, a maker of inappropriate - and, sometimes, heartfelt - crafts, and a pretty badass cook... all with an intense fascination with discussions of the irreverent, the sacrilegious, the sexy, the seedy, and the weird.
Monkeytoes' alter ego, Mistress of SexyTimes™, will be teaming up with Blowjob Jesus to give you the rundown on VS' more colorful, sexy and, sometimes, gross side. So, saddle up for the TMI Round Up!


Editor in Chief Pandemonious Ivy, or the High Hegemon as his subordinates call him, enjoys reading, laughing, and long moonlit strolls on the beach. What he is looking for is som- oh.....that was from his eHarmony profile, sorry. Anyway, he's usually found playing Pokemon, writing (procrastinating about writing), or working on his latest World Domination scheme. He's the head of the lovely VS newsletter and is trapped between enjoying and cursing his newfound pow- uh, responsibility.

SayCoconut, Artistic Director, spends her time upside down, watching Doctor Who and eating pizza. She says words like amazing-ocity and groovy, and you can see her say things like this at her blog, My Ridiculous Life. It is her dream to become telepathic, or, barring that, become as famous as David Attenborough.

Shadesofjade is Very Serious' resident San Diegan beach babe, though she's not blonde, nor does she have fake boobs. At any given moment, Jade can be found with her nose in a book, while simultaneously posting on Very Serious, entertaining her eleven (yes, eleven!) pets, and eating something cheesy, salty, or both. She has gained notoriety both on the forum and in real life for generally speaking whatever comes to her mind, no matter how perverted it really is -- and trust me, it's probably perverted.
For this newsletter, Jade's alter-ego Blowjob Jesus is teaming up with the Mistress of SexyTimes to give you the recap of all things sexy, disturbing, and in between that can be found in everyone's favorite way to learn more than you ever wanted to know about your friends, the TMI thread.

Shantypants is the resident Very Serious Information Jesus. She can be found on the forum reading ALL THE THREADS. She welcomes any and all PMs from anyone needing help, having questions or suggestions for what to include in future issues of this newsletter.

Sophistikitty is the Feature Writer in Chief, which, unfortunately, rather reinforces her delusions of grandeur. While the instability of her flair for distinguishing between fiction and reality allows her few opportunities to live in the Real World, her 'creativity' is able to flourish through her work for the VS Newsletter.

Thornapple grew up as a sex advice devotee, often listening to Rhona at Night until the wee hours and Sue Johannson with the volume turned down low so her parents wouldn't bust her learning about sex. She will be assisting with her Relationship Sextion, for all of your intimate needs.
