Originally known Alice in Stonyland. From 1997-2002, she was the webmistress of Stonyland, a resource web site dedicated to fans of the action-adventure book series, Mack Bolan. Her first foray into fandom was through Mack Bolan, then Highlander, then due South. In 2002, after deciding to stop being the keeper of Stonyland, she adopted the name Raine Wynd. From 2000-2010, she was the keeper of the Joe Stories Archive, a currently inactive archive of stories featuring Joe Dawson from Highlander as the primary character, which was originally started by Heidi McKeon. This archive has been offline since spring 2010 due to a perceived lack of interest.

From June 2014 to the con's end, Raine served as the social media coordinator for Shatterdome Seattle, a crowdfunded Pacific Rim fan convention held May 3, 2015.
