Rebecca C. M. (she/her) has been active in fandom since the conception of Sold to One Direction, though she has written stories for as long as she has been able to. Whilst many of her earliest fanworks have been lost to time, she occasionally still posts fanfiction whenever inspiration strikes. She joined the Organisation for Transformative Works as a Fanlore Social Media and Outreach Volunteer in 2025, transitioning into a Chair Track Volunteer role that same year, before becoming a Fanlore Co-Chair in February 2026. She previously volunteered for a local children’s nonprofit. Rebecca describes herself as a “bilingual mess”; she’s fluent in both English and German, yet sometimes can’t remember words in either language. In addition, she also speaks French, Spanish and some Korean. Outside of the OTW, she works in marketing and follows various academic pursuits, including marketing research, with the ambition to pursue a PhD. She completed her Master’s in Management in 2026, with her thesis focusing on one of her current fandoms. In her spare time, she enjoys baking too much sourdough, reading, and playing story-heavy RPGs.
