Next Weekend: Duck Prints Press at Fandom Fest!

Fandom Fest 2023 – the largest con aimed at fantasy enthusiasts in Upstate New York – is taking place next weekend, Saturday, August 26th, and Sunday, August 27th, at Proctor’s Theater in downtown Schenectady, New York!

As fate would have it, where is Duck Prints Press based? Why, in Schenectady, New York! So of course, we’ll be there – vending at a convention for the FIRST TIME EVER! We’ve been hard at work gathering all our merch, organizing the print books left over from our past campaigns, getting supplies so we can easily get set up (we own a hand truck now!), and PREPARING FOR OUR PANEL!

Yes, we’re hosting a PANEL! Featuring yours truly (I’m unforth, aka Nina Waters, aka Claire Houck – last one’s my actual name 😀 ), authors Shea Sullivan, Catherine E. Green, Tris Lawrence, and Willa Blythe, and Albany Law School professor Rob Heverly! Our author Nova Mason will also be putting in a cameo at our booth, handling sales while the rest of us are en-paneled.

Fans show their love of their fandoms in many ways, and one of the most common is by writing fanfiction! Among fanauthors, it's common to dream of a future in publication. How can fanauthors make that dream a reality? That's the topic of this panel! Hi, we're Duck Prints Press, an indie press based right here in Schenectady, and we're fans who work with other fans to publish their original work (ofic). There are many considerations when looking to make the transition from fanauthor to ofic author, and we'll be looking at many of those considerations and answering your questions. We'll discuss several common paths people follow when they seek to get published, "barcode scrubbing" and other fanfiction-specific publication concerns, copyright concerns and contract pitfalls, what our Press does, and more! Bring your curiosity, your favorite blorbos, and your questions—we look forward to seeing you there!

So, if you’re gonna be at Fandom Fest (it’s not too late to get advance tickets!), make sure you come say hi! We’d be thrilled to meet ya!

(and, while I know we’ll be your main inducement for attending, might I mention that Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, and a bunch of other celebrities will be there? and a bunch of gaming? and of course a cosplay contest? it’s gonna be lots of fun, y’all…)

[OC Profile] Cordelia Lillian Offdensen

Because I am now contractually obligated to infodump about her now. Some parts might have been influenced by other fan fics ,but I either have permission and/or at least gave them enough of my own twist that I'm copying other people's homework too much Spoiler warning for all of Metalolcaypse so far (this is all pre-movie so if my predictions are wrong, oh well). Also content warnings for: pregnancy-related death, child neglect, sexual harassment, alcoholism, and parental death, as well as bits of canon typical dark humor.

Born May 13th, 1945

Died October 3rd, 1993 (...probably, I'll explain in a bit)

Voice Claim: Rachel Bloom/Laraine Newman (if we have to follow the pattern of the other Dethklok moms)

Face Claim: This lady from Writersklok

Personality: A well-intended and kind, but very troubled woman that has trouble being taken seriously despite being rather intelligent and ambitious leading her to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as drinking and casual sex.

Character Inspirations: Cutie Cutie Cupcake (BoJack Horseman), Meredith Quill (Guardians of the Galaxy), Paula Small (Home Movies), Paula Proctor (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Misato Katsuragi (Evangelion), Annie Hughes (The Iron Giant), Peggy Olson (Mad Men), Halley (The Florida Project), Mina Harker (Bram Stroker's Dracula)

Music Tastes: The Amazelingtons, Blue Oyster Cult, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Elton John, Nina Simone, Fleetwood Mac

Bonus playlist

Backstory

She was Salacia’s consort in a past life, unfortunately, she was slain in a siege alongside their unborn child. He tried to resurrect her using a certain kind of purple magic...it did not end well. Cordelia would sometimes have past life nightmares about this with zero context as to what was happening.

She and Salacia met by chance in 1965, back then being a mere law school student; while Salacia was happy to see his beloved wife again...this time he had more ulterior motives convinced that it was part of the Prophecy (if still having to create the Sal persona for obvious reasons). Which he was right, but for the wrong reasons since Charles was an accidental pregnancy so she had to drop out of school and the two had to elope. Her parents were pissed of course and they did not see Cordelia or Charles until he abandoned the family some five or six years later.

Even though Salacia can technically be in two places at once it's pretty taxing (as well as worries that his other self was starting to develop a personality and will of his own) and eventually just to started to realize the more practical problems of his facade such as...oh yeah and his presence having bits of the plague that cause sickness if not death in some people to the point where people assumed for years that Charles was chronically ill. He might've been an asshole for abandoning them, but financially supported them in secret and had them under surveillance by marking them as "people of interest". Although even if he didn't have high hope for him, he had quite a few other children on standby.

Mysterious checks from the government she didn't question aside it was a bit difficult being a single mother in the 1970s albeit was able to get work as a paralegal at the slightly dubious Ensiferum & Associates. So because of this, she was pretty much what you think of when "Gen X mom" comes to mind, with Charles being very much a latchkey kid who more or less raised himself at points. Not for lack of trying since she was capable of being a very loving mother, but was severely overworked and self-medicated with alcohol to cope with the stress of working as an unmarried woman during Mad Men times and general untreated mental health issues. In fact, it was to the point where Charles feeling the need to take care of other people's needs above his own partially explains why he's slightly messed up as an adult. And yet she's among one of the more competent employees at the firm when sober (gee why does that sound familiar?).

Was generally supportive of Charles's goals, but was terrified of him abandoning her much like his father so she definitely didn't take Charles heading off to boarding school well (although she at least had the decency to not say it out loud) and was enough of a mess to require intervention so she at least mellowed out in her final years before peacefully passing in 1993, her lifespan cut tragically short due to a combination of the Salacia plague still affecting her body years later and alcohol abuse.

...which is the version I usually go with in my fics, but personally, I think it's funnier and opens more story potential if she survives to the series' present day, but is just locked out of the loop of the whole "son being the manager of the world's largest band/economic force and later a cult leader" thing. Like I'd probably figured she get along with most of the Dethklok moms (except for maybe Molly but even then because the latter is a massive hypocrite), and Dethklok for themselves for that matter, especially Toki, which Charles would be a bit conflicted about the latter even if she is trying to make up for her previous faults as a mother. I guess for now it's sort of diverging paths, but at least until the movie comes out "dead mom" is the main timeline for my fics.

Overall Charles has a...complicated view of his mother, on one hand, her neglectful parenting did cause a fair amount of emotional scarring that hasn't healed even decades later and severely affected his interpersonal relationships even as an adult, but on the other hand, was at least aware of her struggles with the benefit of hindsight and wouldn't be half the man he was today without her influence.

BACK IN TIME: LADY GAGA IN “MACHETE KILLS”

A lot of you messaged me about wanting to know more what Lady Gaga wore in the “Machete Kills” movie from 2013. In this film, debuts in the big screen playing a character called La Chameleón — an insane killer with the talent of dressing up as different kind of people. She went to Austin (Texas) a couple of days earlier in 2012 to shoot her part.

Gaga’s costumes were created by the movie’s costume designer Nina Proctor. Here, La Chameleon wears a yellow boned bustier bodysuit with padded hips, a wolf fur stole, stay-up tights and punk crystal jewellery.

Her black suede pumps with gold metal heels are from Giuseppe Zanotti’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection.

This look comprises another structured strapless bustier bodysuit, this time made of red mesh, a matching red chiffon cape, and red suede platform cross strap sandals from the same Giuseppe Zanotti footwear collection.

Name: Clarissa Swan

Story: Six Feet Under

Species: Human/Redacted

Face claim: Nina Dobrev

Love interest: William Howe

Summary: Clarissa Swan had always enjoyed life in Forks. It may have been boring and predictable, but it was home and it was comfortable. But when her twin sister moves to town, everything starts to change. Not only has Bella gone and gotten herself involved with the undeniably suspicious Cullens, but the hot new senior — who also seems to be connected to the Cullens — won’t stop looking at her like he’s seen a ghost.

Name: Emilia Newton

Story: Morning Light

Species: Human

Face Claim: Kathryn Newton

Love Interest: Emmett Cullen & Rosalie Hale

Name: Faith Reed

Story: Forks’ Protector

Species: Human

Face claim: Hailee Steinfeld

Love interest: Jacob Black

Summary: The Cullens were vampires, big deal. It was the worst kept secret in all of Forks. No one would say anything, of course, it was an unspoken rule. But then Bella Swan came to town and messed everything up, and now Faith has to protect her entire town from some giant Vampire-Werewolf war. Goddammit, she just wanted to ace her SATs this year.

Name: Hallie Thorne

Story: Graveyard

Species: Human/Vampire hunter

Face claim: Zoey Deutch

Summary: Hallie Thorne knew about vampires; all of the Thorne women did. Ever since Hallie’s own namesake, the first Hallie Thorne, saw her mother murdered by a confederate soldier, the Thorne women had been learning how to fight them, to protect themselves and other girls from the fate that befell their foremother. But after seeing her own mother slaughtered by a vampire who had tracked her for months, Hallie can’t take it anymore. She gets emancipated and moves to Forks, hoping that the presence of a pack would keep vampires from passing through.

And for a time, it does. Until the Cullen coven moves to town, and Hallie comes face to face with the first vampire to ever kill a Thorne.

Name: Juniper Proctor

Story: Only The Good Die Young

Species: Witch

Face Claim: Danielle Rose Russell

Love Interest: Alaric Coventry & Catherine Cullen

Name: Lily Hale

Story: Living Is Harder

Species: Vampire

Face Claim: Kiernan Shipka

Summary: Being fifteen for the rest of eternity was honestly the last thing Lily wanted. Had ever wanted. Would ever want. But after a stupid decision three hundred years ago left her alone on a pirate ship comprised exclusively of vampires, she doesn’t have a choice. She spent about a hundred years alone, before she found the Denali coven, and another hundred and fifty years with them before they parted ways. Lily has spent the past fifty years as the sixth of Carlisle and Esme’s children and, as much as she hates being a vampire, she’s grown to care about them. That’s why she knows that something has to be done about Edward’s new obsession, the girl who asks too many questions

Name: Mariana Swan

Story: Blood Relations

Species: Human

Face Claim: Natalia Dyer & Mackenzie Foy

Love Interest: Seth Clearwater

Summary: When Charlie and Renée got divorced, they each got custody of a child. Mariana Swan has lived in Forks for as long as she can remember, with her dad Charlie, her uncle Billy, and her pseudo brother Jacob. She’s known for a while that there was something decidedly not right about that Cullen family, and not just because of the weird incest thing that they have going on, but she never really cared. At least, not until her big sister moves into town and not only gets involved with the family, but starts dating the creepiest one of all. At first she would have ignored that too, but suddenly Jacob is acting weird too and Bella is nearly dying every day. As they say, “if you mess with the big sister, there is always a younger, crazier sister behind her that you don’t want to mess with,” and well, the Cullens are about to find out exactly how crazy this younger sister can be when her sister’s life is at stake.

Name: William Howe

Story: Six Feet Under

Species: Vampire

Face claim: Tyler Hoechlin

Love interest: Clarissa Swan

Clara Wolcott Driscoll: Tiffany Studios’ Brightest Light

“This is rather difficult work, but when one has a fondness for a certain brand of industry, she does not pause when a difficulty must be overcome.” -- Clara Wolcott Driscoll

This past summer the Munson Williams Proctor Museum in Utica, NY held an exhibition, “Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection.” The astonishing show featured Tiffany’s most iconic lamps, many designed by a woman whose name is largely forgotten now, Clara Wolcott Driscoll. The women who assembled Mrs. Driscoll’s designs were popularly referred to as “Tiffany Girls,”(1), and they worked under her in Tiffany’s Women's Glass Cutting Department. Driscoll was the designer behind many of the best well-known lamps to emerge from Tiffany Studios: Daffodil, Wisteria, Dragonfly, and Peony lamps (2).

Young Clara Pierce Wolcott

Clara Pierce Wolcott was born in Talmadge, Ohio in 1861. Her father, Elizur V. Wolcott studied theology and aspired to be a missionary but his poor health prevented that dream from becoming a reality. Instead, Wolcott became a farmer and teacher (3). Tragically, Wolcott died in 1873, forcing his wife Fannie to find work as a teacher in order to support Clara and her three younger sisters (3). Fannie Wolcott who had attended the Talmadge Academy was determined that her daughters would also receive an education. With her family connections, Fannie placed “Clara with relatives living near the excellent (and free) Central High School”(3) in Cleveland, Ohio.

During her time at Central High School, young Clara demonstrated a keen interest in the natural world, especially flowers. This interest was undoubtedly encouraged by naturalist, Harriet Louise Keeler who was an instructor at the school during that time (3). After graduation, Clara enrolled in “the Western Reserve School of Design for Women (now the Cleveland Institute of Art)”(2). Not much, however, is known about Clara’s time there.

Sometime after Clara’s secondary studies were completed, she had “taken a position as designer for C. S. Ransom and Company, a Cleveland-based manufacturer of Moorish-influenced fretwork panels”(3).

Clara Driscoll Joins, Departs and then Rejoins Tiffany Studios

In the fall of 1888, Clara left Cleveland and headed to New York City to continue her art education “at the then-new Metropolitan Museum Art School” (2). Not long after her arrival in New York Louis Comfort Tiffany hired her as a designer in his studio. At Tiffany Studios Clara “earned the intricacies of glass selection and cutting,”(3) but after only a year with Tiffany, Clara left to get married as was the law in New York at that time. In 1989, Clara married Francis Driscoll who was thirty years her senior. In 1892 Mr. Driscoll died, and Clara, widowed, was rehired by Tiffany. Soon after Tiffany named Clara to head the Women’s Glasscutting Department (3). She had excellent managerial skills with an aptitude “for realizing a great profit from lamps and fancy goods”(4). When Clara took over the glasscutting department six women were working under her, eventually the staff would grow to thirty-five strong. These women earned the nickname “The Tiffany Girls”(5).

Challenges Faced by Clara Driscoll and the Women Working at Tiffany Studios

The women in her department selected the glass for the shades, “cutting the individual segments using templates, and wrapping them with copper foil”(5). The men would assemble the lamps by attaching the glass pieces to molds and soldering the copper foil edges together.

Over time rivalries developed between the men and the women workers. Men were “making windows, mosaics, and leaded shades” while the women for a time were relegated to only glass cutting. The men belonged to a union that “did not admit women,” so the women could not enjoy the same benefits as the men. Tiffany, however, paid his male and female employees equally which angered many of the men (5). “In 1903, the men threatened to strike in order to take away the women’s right to make windows”(5). Tiffany refused to meet the union’s demands but agreed to limit “the number of women in Driscoll’s department at 27”(5).

Mrs. Driscoll, herself became frustrated with faced staffing issues in the Women’s Glasscutting Department. Since married women were barred from employment Driscoll, would invest in developing a young talent only to lose the young woman to the wedding altar (5).

Clara’s Mystery Engagement

Mrs. Driscoll had also considered remarrying sometime between 1896 and 1897; she became engaged to Edwin Waldo the brother of artist George B. Waldo, one of Driscoll’s friends. While on route to meet his potential future in-laws in Ohio, Edwin inexplicably disappeared. No one heard from him for five years. Possibly due to the painful nature of this episode, Mrs. Driscoll never referred to it in any of her writings (3).

Clara Driscoll’s Major Works for Tiffany

During 1896 “Clara began experimenting with lamps”(5). Along with “Tiffany designer Agnes Northrop and fellow Cleveland art school classmate Alice Carmen Gouvy (also hired by Tiffany), Mrs. Driscoll designed the innovative Flying Fish lamp and Deep Sea mosaic and glass-jeweled base”(2). In addition to lamps, she designed “desk and boudoir accessories, often in combinations of glass, bronze, and mosaic”(3).

Driscoll drew her inspiration for her iconic lamp designs upon her life-long passion for and study of nature. Based upon information Driscoll shared in one of her letters, the daffodil lamp was her first important lamp design in 1900. That same year her design for the dragonfly lamp, “won a prize at the 1900 World’s Fair,”(6) that design, however, had long been credited to her boss, Louis Comfort Tiffany (6). The stunning wisteria lamp has also been attributed to Clara (5).

Clara Driscoll’s Later Years

In 1909 Driscoll left Tiffany Studio for the final time to marry Edwin Booth. While marriage ended Mrs. Driscoll’s professional career, she continued designing -- this time the product was colorful silk scarves. Edwin retired from his job managing an import business in 1929 just as the Great Depression struck, and the couple spent the remainder of their years in Florida. Their marriage would last thirty-five years until Clara’s death in 1944 (3).

Clara Driscoll’s Design Legacy

Clara Driscoll’s real role in Tiffany Studios went largely forgotten. When the company folded “in 1932, all the records were lost”(1). In 1953 when her sister Emily died, a trove of letters between the two sisters was discovered. It was not until almost 40 years later, however, that the letters were recognized by scholars when one of Driscoll’s relatives “Elizabeth A. Jones Yeargin transcribed a sampling from the letters for her work…self-published as a bound typescript titled The Pierce and Wolcott Letters”(3).

During Clara Driscoll’s career about thirty “or so lamps believed to have been designed by or created under”(6) her direction. These included “the Wisteria, Dragonfly, Peony, and from all accounts, her first — the Daffodil”(2). One Wisteria Lamp sold for $492,500 on December 14, 2017, at Christie’s in New York (7). Driscoll’s lamps are held in the collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and in numerous museums throughout the world. In recent years, numerous exhibitions of Tiffany lamps that featured Driscoll’s works, like the recent show in Utica, NY, have been held. The first to specifically acknowledge her contributions to Tiffany Studios was the New-York Historical Society 2007 show, “A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls.” Also that year, a book of the same title by Martin Eidelberg, Nina Gray and Margaret Hofer was published, and in 2011 Susan Vreeland published her historical novel Clara and Mr. Tiffany, based on the relationship between Mrs. Driscoll and Louis Comfort Tiffany (1). It may have been a long time coming, but the world is beginning to recognize the design genius of Clara Wolcott Driscoll.

first blog entry in a long time!!:0

hi everyone, melissa here!! lots of exciting things happening in the aquaworld. first off, i am so happy to hear everyone's feedback on late october's "the dream and the deception" album. recording and releasing the music had been quite a journey, and it's so thrilling to know that these songs i once only imagined in my head is now being listened to globally! seriously a huge trip.

that being said, my goal for 2019 (starting this month tho really) is to push myself to explore beyond my creative boundaries. i want to make a music video for each song on the album. the band has filmed one all together in october, and we plan to shoot more this month as well! curating content with my new family of badass girls has been very mind-opening and refreshing to experience. that being said, yes, the aquadolls have a sick new lineup! i'm happy and truly blessed to have my friends jackie proctor (drums), keilah nina (keyboard), and kate rose (guitar) as official members of the aquadolls. nothing has felt better than having such a great support system of inspiring women working and rocking beside me! we plan to make blog entries as a band, so you can get to know each of us and pick our brains, as well as lots of other exciting content! filming music videos, silly clips and covers, fun photo shoots, fan meetups, zines, and of course playing lots of shows!!!

music wise, there's lots of stuff being worked on behind-the-scenes. fun fact: the new album actually was never mastered and i am currently learning how to do it myself and am in the process of remixing and mastering the album for CDs and vinyl! taking the mixing into my own hands has been such an eye-opening experience and it’s thrilling to learn more and more each day while getting to make fun music. i finally figured out how to master right before i released the aquadolls xmas single, “mrs clause”, which is the first song i ever mastered and released (btw, it will be on all listening platforms december 11th hehe)!! so, the dream and the deception will be re-released early 2019 remastered with some bonus tracks and maybe a remix!

right now, i’m drinking a cup of water on my couch, half watching the nightmare before christmas for the fourth time this month, and mostly sinking my fingers into the keyboard of my sticky laptop keys. i’m signing off for now, but will keep you all updated with more blogposts asap! stay groovy babes.

xoxo,

melissa brooks
