Tapestry is a fanfiction writer and artist from the 1990s and 2000s. She specialised in X-Men fanfiction and was known especially for her original character, Dawn Embers. Tap's treatment of Dawn (and her many deaths) became a community joke.[1] Tapestry was also one of the younger members of ACFF, being in her mid-teens when she joined in 1996.[2]
Tapestry was one of the founding members of the Subreality Cafe and an enthusiastic participant in the SC round-robins. She is also an artist and provided art for Subreality as well her own and others' fanfic, as well as publishing a web-comic in later years[3].
Currently Tapestry is part of X-Project, an X-Men Movieverse RPG on Dreamwidth.
