Imogen Binnie
Imogen Binnie wrote a monthly column for Maximum Rocknroll magazine for about nine years, as well as the zines The Fact That It's Funny Doesn't Make It A Joke and Stereotype Threat. Her novel Nevada was a thing, then it went out of print and it was less of a thing, and then it went back into print and became a thing again. She wrote for the TV shows Doubt, Council of Dads, and Cruel Summer. She also wrote an adaptation of the film "Love, Actually" which was set in Burlington, Vermont, in which all the characters were trans, but apparently it would violate "intellectual copyright law" to try to film it, so she posted it on Twitter. She also did a podcast called Imogen Watches Classic Films for a few years. She probably lives with her family

"Ulrich is a formalistic poet, known for his "sophisticated rhyme",[6] "technical virtuosity",[9] "rich use of metaphors and images"[8] and preference for "highly conventional thematic" structure.[7] The style of Ulrich and the other late Minnesänger has been called the "flowery style" (geblümter Stil).[8] It is "affected, even mannerist".[7] Even more than his fellow Swabians, however, Ulrich's poetry is "an expression of his artistic skills" that establishes the role of the artist in courtly life.[12]
Ulrich can at times be crass and sexually explicit.[4][12]"
