Writing is my first love. Which is not to say I'm great at it. I mostly just don't suck; I can string a decent sentence together, but I am the queen of typos.

I welcome suggestions on my [[User_talk:Millahnna|talk page]], if you know of a plot that needs whacking. I'm mostly a genre nerd so the odds of my working on an article dramatically increases if it involves [[time travel]], [[Space_battle|space battles]], [[zombies]], or [[Wizard_(fantasy)|wizards]]. That said, as long as [[Dane Cook]] is not involved, I'm willing to give a [[Romantic_comedy|romcom]] a try.

WP has kindly informed me that there have been several failed attempts to login to my account here recently. Not sure if the intent is to access my actual WP account or to use that to breach my passwords elsewhere but for those of you who have known me for some time, if you see my account doing weird stuff, shoot me an email or drop a message on my talk page. I'll get the message either way.

The editor who started that whole mess has since been banned. And I still get mad when I remember this incident. I've never seen an ANI I've been involved in handled this poorly.

Been awhile since I've played with these but it needs reception and box office fleshed out enough to be able to kill the tone problems in what little is currently there. SHould be able to get at least a bare bones paragraph there. Ask for extra eyeballs when done to make sure I don't go against standards or bork a ref tag.

About Me

I come and go in extremely long stretches. I get email if you drop a note on my talk page, though.

I can has words

Writing is my first love. Which is not to say I'm great at it. I mostly just don't suck; I can string a decent sentence together, but I am the queen of typos. Consequently, I mostly fix text problems like awkward and repetitive phrasing. And since I'm a huge nerd, this means I mostly end up polishing plot summaries, primarily for the Film Project. Bonus: it means I don't have to try and hold too much wikicode in my head.

I welcome suggestions on my talk page, if you know of a plot that needs whacking. I'm mostly a genre nerd so the odds of my working on an article dramatically increases if it involves time travel, space battles, zombies, or wizards.

Stuff I've done

The biggest plot trim I ever finished.

Peeves (as in pet)

  • Irregardless: No.
  • General consensus: Redundant redundant
  • It is shown that "it is shown" may be one of the most abused phrases in the fiction related articles on Wikipedia.
  • The film begins is no way to start a plot summary.
  • Mixed to generally positive reviews is sort of to essentially meaningless.
  • He is the secondary antagonist of the film And wikipedia is not your book report. Reverted.

Why people quit editing
