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, my primary focus on Wikipedia is likely to be sections of articles where the text itself is the major problem. I guess it's no surprise I got sucked into plot summaries right off the bat. I mostly play with movie plots but I've poked at plots for video games, TV episodes, and books, too.
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. That said, as long as Dane Cook is not involved, I'm willing to give a romcom a try.
Peeves (as in pet)
- Irregardless: If you use this "word" I will have a very hard time taking you seriously. I will probably mock you mercilessly. IMO, it's worth getting banned for it if just one person realizes they are speaking gibberish.
- 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.
Hacky McHackerston
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.
Stuff to poke
Misc.
Unless otherwise noted, these all need plot trimming and/or polishing.
