My name is Alison Wilgus, and I'm here to tell you a story.

That story will be about people trying to make the best of where they've found themselves; people helping and hurting each other in turns; people struggling against what's been handed them and forging themselves into who they're going to be. Those people may be in space, in New York, in the past, in a world that never existed or in one that you created and you're loaning me for a while. But they'll be people first and foremost. Because that's what I care about, in the end, and such things can't be helped.

There will probably be kissing. The situation will probably look fairly grim for some time. It will probably be all right in the end. If I'm lucky, you'll care enough to make it that far.

Sometimes I write comics for other people to draw. Here's how that works, if you're curious.
