Telesilla, also known as Ruth Gifford, is primarily a fan-writer who has been active in online fandom since January of 1995. She also writes meta on various topics including kink, BDSM, LGBT issues, fandom, and warnings. She writes many stories solo, but also often co-writes with others, including darkrose, helens78, hily, among others.

In 2002, she wrote that she "is eternally grateful to the world of 'net fandom for the many wonderful and talented friends she's made over the years, not to mention the entertaining flame wars she's been privileged to fight in." [3]

Telesilla has made a blanket statement about her fanworks being open to further transformation,[4] and has made a statement about recs and reviews of her work.[5]

History and Activities

"I've been a SF/Fantasy fan since...oh probably 5th grade or so. During the '80s and early '90s I was on the edge of actual fandom, but most of that kind of energy went into the Society for Creative Anachronism. In Feb of '95 I went online and found out that fanfiction was readily available and that I could write it. I haven't looked back."[6]
