Filker Bios

By Debbie Ridpath Ohi

back to main

Most filk guest bios written for convention programs are often a great source of information about filkers in the community, but they are usually forgotten after the convention. I'd like to start a permanent archive of bios about anyone in the filking community (performer or listener) in The Dandelion Report. Or if the bio is already online, please do send me the URL! I'd still like to archive on The Dandelion Report if at all possible, just in case the source disappears.

I welcome any submissions that fit the following criteria:

  • The bio actually has useful info about the subject. :-) Some bios are completely made-up or might be misleading out of context...for these archives, I'd prefer bios that have at least some factual info.
  • You have permission of the author, subject and the convention for which it was written.

Photos also welcome (again, with permission). All copyright remains with the author, of course.

Please send bios to me at inkygirl@gmail.com. Thanks for helping to make The Dandelion Report a useful resource for the filking community.
