Crosby Dunn - Webcast
When I was born on the 10th day of March in the fine year of 1987, the wise sage of my quaint village approached my once-fetal, now a full-fledged human, and told me I was destined for greatness. It was foretold I would be a man with a plethora of great achievements and a cache of talents untapped by the common folk. I am now at The Fountain and I have a pretty smile.

Lillian Paige Turner - Minorities
"I refuse to be boring. Boring doesn't bring in a bankroll."
I'm the girl that goes by her middle name instead of her first name but still answers to the latter. I live to write and write to live. You can see my words gracing a page on The Scroll, The Echo, the inspirational page of Sanders/Wingo Advertising's website, my seldom-updated Tumblr account and, of course, The Fountain. Staff writer for all, copy editor, an admitted Drake fanatic, obsessed with the color purple (not the movie, but the actual color) and a lover of all things original. Expect to see me on the pages of a magazine one day. I won't be the girl in the photograph, but I will be the girl making the pictures come to life with my thousands of words.
