Helena Bell is the not-quite-bestselling author of some not-quite-published poems and short stories. In college she shortened her name to Hel to keep people from mispronouncing her real name, and because she likes sharing identities with the Norse goddess of the underworld. When she's bored she googles herself to see what other people are saying about her.
Hel is a figure vaguely known.
She graduated from Newcomb College in 2004 with a BA in Women's Studies. Even though her mother said it wasn't a real major. When people asked her if her course selection meant she was a lesbian she said "No but if I can convert 2 straight girls, I'll graduate with honors." Then she'd tell them about the monthly meetings in the bayou with naked dancing and witchcraft. She fears they may have believed her.
Hel is rare enough that it is not illegal in most areas yet
Since then she got in a car accident, went to graduate school, wrote about her old highschool mascot: the flying pussy, and created this website. Not necessarily in that order.
Helena is envious…
Of her brother William, the talented artist who is responsible for all the artwork on this site.
