Who is IGP?IGP came about from the brainworkings of founder, editor, writer, gopher Shiromi "Nicki" Arserio. She started IGP because no other scifi magazine would hire her. That, and her position as a blogger for Illusion TV dried up, (and even when she was with Illusion, she was stuck talking only about scifi television and there's so much else to talk about!). After months of driving webmonkey and copy editor, Rob, crazy, she finally decided to create the Inter-Galaxy Portal. Shiromi "Nicki" Arserio, Editor and FounderBioAlong with writing for IGP and IllusionTV, Nicki has written short stories and novels, travel articles, articles for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer site, as well as being a regular writer for DISfunkshion magazine.SciFi FavouritesToo many to list. Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Joss Whedon is God. Heroes, V, Star Trek, Star Wars,Babylon 5, LOTR, wait, that's not Sci-Fi!DislikesAgain, too many to list, but reality television and rude drivers are definitely amongst the top 5.If your name is Shiromi, why the alias?I could tell you why they call me Nicki, but then I'd have to kill you.Rob, Co-Founder and Copy EditorBioOur very own web monkey Rob is another long time member of geekdom. After many a day at the coffee shop with Nicki pouring over the latest sci-fi magazines,they decided to co-create the Inter-Galaxy Portal as a place where they could use their geek powers for good. Rob is retired military. He's seen a lot of action, but luckily, no xenomorphs.SciFi FavouritesStar Wars (original trilogy, original version!), Aliens, Star Trek IIDislikesMilitary inaccuracies: poor weapons handling, etc.
