About

[edit]

I'm a writer by profession. Pronouns "they/them."

Back when Wikipedia was new, and many links were still red (unwritten), I dabbled in crafting a few new articles, expanding subs, and correcting grammar and such. Then I stopped for awhile, but did a little work on several fairy articles when I was deep into fairy lore research. I got discouraged from that when a mythology expert contended with me a great deal, treating fairy lore as if it were mythology, suggesting we just delete all fae references that weren't recorded in ancient writing. (Fairy lore is/was an oral tradition and ancient writings don't exist. But there is plenty of 19th & 20th century secondary literature.)

Ever since, I've mostly just done on-the-spot corrections of obvious grammar or other errors. For larger edits, I've contented myself with making suggestions on the Talk page. Sometimes I think about getting back into serious Wikipedia editing.

My older notes are below.
