Sara Chicazul

It is widely held that in the Beginning there was nothing, then there was some kind of large kerfuffle and existence came spewing forth like silty water backing up out of a clogged drain. These people are, of course, incorrect.

In the Beginning was Sara Chicazul, Maker of Things. There was darkness and void for a while, and honestly quite a lot of waiting about hoping stuff was going to happen. But Sara was procrastinating, so Creation just had to wait until she was done checking Twitter. Again.

And after Twitter came Facebook, and it contained cute pictures of fuzzy animals, and so it was good, and Creation waited around a bit longer. It scuffed its shoes against the dirt and asked what the deal was with all this weather?

And after Facebook came the design of fezes, so that Creation might look cute but also fancy, and could display its love of various nerd genres. Then came the foam companion cubes, that Creation may have a small chair or footstool that would align with its favourite video games. And after that there was the design and creation of clothing of all ranges of beauty and practicality.

During this, Creation eventually got the hint and took care of itself, and after seeing the bounty of things the Maker Chicazul had provided while ignoring Creation, Creation decided to put together things like PAX, Joco Cruise Crazy, and podcasts, so that Sara would have a place to show all the things she made, before retreating into procrastination once more.
