Other Contributing Writers:
Melissa Miller, Contributing Writer
About Melissa: Melissa is a huge TV nerd. The many shows she recaps for Small Screen Scoop only amount to a fraction of the TV shows she watches. She loves all kinds of TV shows, from award-winning fare (hiya, Mad Men) to a few guilty pleasures (looking at you, Real World Road Rules Challenges). When she isn’t plopped in front of the TV absorbed in a fictional world, she is mom to two frequently adorable and sometimes crazy children. She is also almost done with her Masters in Humanities. She loves reading, writing, and hanging out with her equally crazy friends. Follow her on Twitter at @serrae – she loves to talk TV with her fellow TV nerds.
Maddie Coe, Contributing Writer
About Maddie: Aside from writing The Caroline Forbes Focus (a weekly Vampire Diaries recap column with an emphasis on Caroline Forbes) here at Small Screen Scoop, Maddie runs Candice-Accola.net, which is a comprehensive fansite for the lovely Candice Accola. Maddie’s favorite things in life include her kittens, strong female characters in the media, going to concerts, feeling nostalgic, and spending time with her close friends and family. You can find her on Twitter at @skimthrough and @CAccolaWeb.
Sandra Sadowski, Contributing Writer
About Sandra: Sandra graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in medieval history and English. When she’s not busy working in Human Resources, she works on Medievalists.net and Lost-girl.net – plus two other history websites. In her spare time, she play with her Jack Russell, Buffy, hangs out with friends and enjoy diving into a good book. She’s a medieval history and American Civil War nut, she loves fantasy novels, horror movies, cars, tattoos, and anything and everything vampire. She also likes to boogie down.
