Elanor Cooper
A Vicious Circle - Writer, Editor
El (Elanor Cooper), meanwhile is not so good at drawing and has instead spent most of her time since the age of six writing anything that wasn't an essay and very little time writing most of everything she has ever written: essays. She first met JJ in York in 2001 and has been bugging him ever since. She is the co-creator of Between Two Worlds and the sole writer for The Broken Mirror, the idea for which first ambled into her head circa 1998, when she was trying to eat a 400g bar of chocolate. She has been actively writing it as a novel since 2002, and throughout 2006 devoted most of her time to looking at JJ with big, cute eyes until he agreed to collaborate in making the story into a webcomic. She has also worked with JJ on other projects; scripting comics to appear in the aforementioned Epilogi and Finnish newspaper Ilta Sanomat. Born in England, she studied English at the University of Nottingham before moving to Helsinki in June 2006. She now occupies herself with various writing and editing projects and can usually be found in front of a computer.
