User:LaesaMajestas
I'm an intermediate (I hope) Wikipedian who's eager to continue learning, and also in getting more involved with the community. I'm an overachiever with the time-management skills of a caffeinated ferret, so please bear with me as I disappear for months at a time, then return with spurts of prodicitivty.
Topics I like to write about and contribute to:
- Fantasy/science fiction lore
- Geekery/gaming community
- The aquarium hobby
- Places I've visited and stuff from them
- Companies and industry niches
- Feminism and political causes
- Stuff about cats
- My curiosity flavor of the week
That being said, I've been here for some time (see below), but this whole thing is still fairly mystifying for me. I would love to have a teacher/mentor, but I don't know if that's a thing here.
Stuff for me
