Eliza Gauger has written for Kotaku, Destructoid, and Wired’s Table of Malcontents and Game|Life, and created the original logo mascot for io9. She is an internationally exhibited and collected fine artist, and has produced illustrations and flavor text for role playing games including Unhallowed Metropolis, Legend of the Five Rings, and even, to her chagrin, the quaintly infamous Book of Erotic Fantasy.
Her websites are:

Gauger is currently researching the Team Fortress 2 fandom, and has been embedded with the tribe for over a year. Colleagues have expressed concern that she is “going local”.
Though unaffiliated with any university, or academia in general, Gauger has been described as a 4chanthropologist, which is perhaps slightly more accurate than Henry Jenkins’ self-descriptor “Aca-fan”.
The meaning of the name ‘SCUMM Manifesto’ is explained here.
Questions and comments are gratefully received in the Ask box, or via Tumblr’s “fan mail”.
