1 | Hello World! |
2 | |
3 | Now that I got that programming meme out of the way, let me talk a little about myself. I love daydreaming about storytelling and worldbuilding; the nitty-gritty of actually putting words on a blank screen, not so much. This makes TV Tropes perfect for me. |
4 | |
5 | I created a TV Tropes account because I want to help go thru the backlog in the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=renames Trope Repair Shop]]. Cleaning up any minor problems I find is also a bonus. I probably will not write any new work pages anytime soon. |
