Snowleopardferret Fandom Involvement
Until June 2022 the Starbeans brand was hosted under the pen name Snowleopardferret – the title of my old tumblr blog, and my fandom nom de plume. I have been an active member of anime and gaming convention circuits beginning early 2008. Since 2017 I have taken a more active role in fandom, particularly in the emerging modern fanzine scene. I have a niche specialty working with fandom inspired or fantasy tarot decks. I work as a background administrator, shipping liaison, or general assistant for collaborative fan projects, helping move fanart offline and into a more sentimental and archival format.
Non-profit or collaborative fandom products like zines, tarot decks, and fanfiction from Anthony Collins remain under the screen name Snowleopardferret.
