Hi, I'm Gabrielle (she/her)! What I write is (usually) closest to filk, otherwise known as fantasy, sci-fi, and convention music. I write lyrics and melodies, so expect vocal recordings, but I don't play an instrument. Might play with Hookpad this year though, we will see.

Influences include celtic folky tunes, mostly via Heather Dale, Mercedes Lackey, and other filkers; Mythpunk, such as SJ Tucker and Cheshire Moon (also filkers) ; various symphonic metal bands, such as Keldian, Nightwish, and Kamelot; and The Cruxshadows, which is entirely an outlier but I gotta include them.

Despite some health setbacks and various other life stupidity, I am back for year 9. Once again, withholding expectations. If I write some songs, I'm calling it a win.

I was thoroughly inspired to spice up my profile after reading all your lovely intros, so:

Favorite weird animal: Three-way tie between pangolin, platypus, and panda. Yes, I must like the letter P. Yes, I edited this to include the Oxford comma. Yes, pandas are super weird. Fun fact - their teeth don't match their digestive systems. I love patchwork designs.

Favorite obscure internet reference: Tie between "Large generic blunt object" and "That is also my egg." Google if you must. Happy hunting!

Claim to fame: I have won one song contest in my life, in senior year of high school, at a local sci-fi convention. The topic was "Godzilla". I am still proud.

Other tidbits: My day job is at an academic library, and I have several fantasy novels in the works.

If you want to get in touch with me 'cause something looks nifty, or you have a question unrelated to my songs, feel free to send me a message. I like meeting new people. Good luck everyone, and may the sporks be with you.
