Anna has written and run three short-form games: “Secrets of the Seelie Court: A Sapphic Soiree” (Intercon W), “Plantscendence” (Intercon W’s Iron GM), and “Before the Ink Dries” (Peaky Midwest). She was a dealer and crewmember at Indenture by Atropos Studios in November 2025 and will serve as a facilitator at Conscience USA and at the Denmark run of Dresden Files, both of which are being produced and run by Mooney Bin Entertainment in 2026.
In her rare spare time, Anna writes novels, binges TV shows, collects vintage books, babysits whenever possible, and lives and dies by the works of Jane Austen (obviously).

They’ve written several short-form games, including “Queen of Queens” (Intercon S + T) and “Eden on the Yangtze” (Intercon U + V). Photography credits include Together at Last (Reflections Larp Studio), Indenture (Atropos Studios), Monstrosity (Sinking Ship Creations), and, of course, all Secret Garden Studios productions, including this website.
Outside of larp, timothy works as a software engineer in their day job, plays a bunch of D&D and map games, and becomes an unskippable ad about Russian literature at a moment’s notice.
Interested in Volunteering?
Dearest Debutante is looking for volunteers to crew and play NPCs!
We are recruiting three volunteers to serve meals, set up decor and scenography, call out dance instructions during ballroom scenes, edit and organize the distribution of Talk of the Ton, serve as NPCs, and generally assist in the running of the larp.
Volunteers will receive free lodging, meals, and an NPC spot at the larp. Volunteers will not receive financial compensation, but will have their flights/transportation paid for and provided. If an interested player would be willing to crew pre-game (as a scenographer, marketer, and/or workshop facilitator), they would be offered a discounted ticket and guaranteed spot at the larp.
There are two types of NPC roles that volunteers fill, one for daytime scenes and one for evening scenes. During the day, volunteers will play generic maids and servants with minor or no character ties. In the evening, volunteers will assume more plot-relevant roles as foreign nobility, long-lost relatives, wealthy merchants, etc., and be encouraged to attend the balls for a fun reprieve from their off-game duties.
VOLUNTEER APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN.
Please fill out the volunteer application form whether you’re interested in both playing and crewing, or exclusively crewing: https://forms.gle/zNH1pFKSFvUZZMwN7.

Credit to Atropos Studios, Lu Larpová, and Iva Vávrová for creating Mayfair, a Bridgerton-inspired larp that made Anna so angry she had to create her own, but actually Bridgerton.
(Just to be clear: this is a joke. We love and appreciate our dear friends for creating Mayfair, and for allowing us to include this spicy, distasteful credit on our website.)
