It’s been a while since we’ve published an edition of Better Know a Reject, our sometimes series that focuses on the personalities behind the wonderful content you read every day here on FSR, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just start up again. And as we begin a new year and get ready to celebrate the sixth birthday of this site, we can’t help but bring it all back around to the people who make it all go ’round. Our hope is to do one or two of these every month, just a little something to help you connect with the brilliant minds who entertain and enlighten you with their unending passion for the world of film. This time around we’re Q’ing and A’ing with Reel Sex columnist Gwen Reyes, who just celebrated her one year anniversary of writing for FSR on February 9th. My, how time flies when you’re having fun and talking about sexy things. Gwen became known to us through her work on the now defunct Gordon and the Whale and her personally owned site Reel Vixen, the latter of which continues to deliver amazing conversations with a female perspective from not just Ms. Reyes, but other names you’ll recognize from the pages of FSR. She’s multi-talented, incredibly bright and a key component to the success of this very site (apparently you guys like reading about sex — who knew!). So cuddle up and lets have some pillow talk with our resident sexpert.

As of right now, the name Nathan Adams might not ring a bell to you. No, he’s not a descendant of legendary United States Presidents and founder fathers John and John Quincy Adams — at least not that we know of. He is, however, a very talented writer who has just joined our team. If you’re lucky enough, you’ve come across his personal review blog, Nathan Adams and the Temple of Reviews, an entertaining read if there ever was one. We’ve seen it — and we were so impressed that we somehow swindled young Nathan into joining the FSR cadre of contributors as our newest news writer. I have no doubt that you’ve already been delighted with his sharp commentary over the past few days, as he’s already begun to work his way into your daily routine. Needless to say, we’re excited to have him aboard. So excited that we’d like to take time to help you get to know him in a little Q&A that we like to call Better Know a Reject…

One of the things we take great pride in around here is having a sense of community. We love the amount of discourse that occurs in our comments section, thanks in great part to the diversity of our readership. Another way we create a wonderful community is by bringing on some of the best writers around — fresh voices from folks who have an intense passion for film and all the things that go with it. They are the discussion starters, the instigators and (we hope) the reason our beloved readers come back every single day. And in order to help you get to know all of these faces of FSR, we’ve devised Better Know a Reject, our new series of articles dedicated to connecting you with our staff, both new and old. We begin with the new. And by new, I’m referring to our newest contributor Benji Carver.
