Welcome to FanGrrl Magnet...

Erica Blitz, who often goes by the online handle ProgGrrl(*), is a fan and a grrl. She works in film marketing (recent work can be seen here, here, here, here and here). She used to blog quite a lot for the beloved fansite Galactica Sitrep about her favorite TV show. Nowadays she spends much of her online time making her Twitter feed as awesome as possible. Before starting FanGrrl Magnet, she kept a goofy and squee-ful livejournal. Here's her FriendFeed.

This site is for fangrrls, fangirls, fans, girls, and the people who love them. Here we favor intelligent, positive discussion and information dispersal -- rather than eye candy, goofball squee, spoilers, fan fiction, or mind-boggling speculations. Not that the latter doesn't satisfy now and then.

* Prog is short for Progressive. Grrl is a reference to the punk-rock-and-roll-feminism of the 1990s Riot Grrls movement, whose spirit will live forever.
