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.
Bragging rights
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
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.
Stuff to poke
