Toni Lichtenstein Bogolub was a fan fiction writer and a frequent attendee and panelist at MediawestCon.

From her Quora profile:

I am a huge fan of Lord of the Rings an Harry Potter, both books and movies.

I have been a proofreader and copy editor for over 30 years.

I am also a huge fan of the original Beauty and the Beast series (from the 90s), including attending a lot of conventions and writing quite a bit of (sometimes award-winning) fan fiction.[1]

Some of her Beauty and the Beast fanfiction is archived here. In 1992 she and Jackie Paciello co-wrote the Star Trek: TNG novel Out of Touch.

A sample of the panels she led at Mediawest 2019 illustrates her wide range of fandom interests

  • Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald – Interesting new plot twists or hot mess?
  • Remember One Season Wonders? – Let's talk about shows that were here and gone
  • Close to the Vest – Do your Mundane friends and family know about your fandom activities? If so, what are their reactions?
  • Harlan Ellison and “City on the Edge of Forever” - A general discussion on his life and works, with emphasis on his contribution to Star Trek
  • What We Left Behind – The Deep Space Nine Documentary: General discussion about this new film looking back at DS9.
  • Marvel's The Avengers: Endgame + The MCU –Are you satisfied with the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame? Which of the first 22 MCU films is your favorite?
  • Movie Tie-In Novels – Better than the movie or worse?

She passed away after a stroke on July 3, 2023 at the age of 69.[2]

Memories/Recollections

[canellfan] She was so helpful in contributing programming ideas and sitting on panels. And SO knowledgeable about her fandoms! And, I should say on a personal level, she was a joy to just sit and talk with, especially about the elements that drew us into this complex world we call fandom. Fandom has lost a shining star.[3]
