About the Author

You can call me Bianca Vacarescu.

I have been writing since I learned how to hold a pencil. As a child, I wrote poems and short stories, and even dabbled in visual art. While my academic background is in the sciences, I nevertheless maintained a passion for creative writing as a way to document the human experience. I kept private journals for many years, and as I came into adulthood, I began to take more seriously the prospect and importance of sharing my perspective through writing.

I created this website as a means to publish my stories while maintaining full creative freedom. I believe the line between traditional fantasy and science fiction is one that can and should be blurred. I also incorporate the real-life history of planet Earth into my work, and I feel many creations of fantasy can be just as impactful on our lives as the things we know from meatspace.

I am currently working on the eight-book fantasy series The Convergent Eigenspace, beginning with Book 0: What Time Cannot Touch. This project represents a transition toward professional self-publishing and establishes the foundation for future literary work.

My Process

My early work is posted on this website, generated from text files composed with Notepad++ and rendered with Jekyll on this GitHub Pages website. In 2025, I decided to produce a traditional series of novels in the vein of the great classics I had grown up reading.

I am using Novelcrafter to write my new series. I will not be posting the contents of the novel on this website, but I will create supplementary materials that can only be obtained here.

I maintain my own website and create all content as a solo project with some minor exceptions. Skits in the Femputer Manchine series that are part of the Book of Pidge are a record of a collaborative World of Darkness RPG conducted over Discord from 2022-23.

How I Use A.I.

I believe that generative A.I. and large language models, when used in accordance with law and morality, can help humanity and enrich our world. I also feel strongly that these are tools, like any other tools, and they must be used as appropriate. I would like to disclose the way in which I use A.I. to enhance my workflow and give credit where credit is due. I use Anthropic's Claude AI as an assistant to various facets of my workflow. While I often use traditional methods for research, including books, newspapers, websites, and other media, I may use Claude to expand upon these sources. When writing, I may use Claude to refine my word choices or to help with proper use of idioms. I use it only as a supplement, similar to how one might use a book on English style or a dictionary. I do not use A.I., either through Claude's desktop/mobile client, or the Novelcrafter A.I. integration tools, to write prose I intend to pass off as my own.

Art used in the Femputer Machine series may be my own original work, excerpts from video game screenshots, or A.I. generated. Images used in Warcraft may include screenshots I have taken while playing World of Warcraft. Screenshots in the Dark Shadows episode reviews were taken using VLC while watching the episodes collected on DVD. I may use A.I. generated art for future content related to The Convergent Eigenspace, but I will never use A.I. art in any product prepared for publication outside of this website.

I do use Claude to help me write code and maintain this website. I may use it to help me draft very small bits of copy where my intention is to optimize clarity for a diverse set of readers. I do not allow the A.I. to write blog posts, this blurb, or any other long-form content. What you read here is my voice, warts and all.
