Shay VanZwoll (aka Elizabeth VanZwoll) has been an active member of fandom since 2000 though she made sporadic appearances before that. She was a beer-troll for Penguicon 1.0 - 3.0 and helped run the anime room for Penguicon 4.0. Shay is a huge fan of Something Positive and begged to be Randy Milholland's liaison when she discovered that he was going to be at Penguicon 5.0.

Shay can most often be found at the Michigan Renaissance Festival during the months of August and September, and does costuming in her non-existant free time. She lives in Ypsilanti, MI.
