[edit] Who, me?
[edit] The girl
Indeed your eyes serve you correctly: I am female. ;) I fell in love with Star Wars when I was eleven, but not because of Luke Skywalker or Han Solo (though their lightsaber and blaster skillz are to admire); it was the whole new universe, strange and exciting and yet familiar at the same time. And Leia Organa. No, I didn't have a crush on her either, but she instantly became a role model of sorts to me. And she does have some of the most memorable lines in SW (…nerfherder!). Whenever I feel unsure of have a lack of courage, I try to think, "What would Princess Leia do?" Usually it works. In short, Star Wars has helped me to become a better person. ;)
[edit] The name
As some of you who know your Tolkien might have noticed, I've snitched my screen name from the etymology section of The Silmarillion which explains the origin of Elvish words and names. Tinwe is Quenya for 'spark' or 'star.'
Tinwe Stargazer is my Mary Sue-ish fan fiction Jedi character. The last name is also influenced by Tolkien. He has a character whose epithet is Elentirmo (Elentirme in feminine form), which translates as Stargazer.
[edit] What I do here
I'm a WikiGnome, plain and simple. A bit of a lonely wolf, you could say. I mostly edit random things as they come along, though I'm aiming to write a couple of Jedi Apprentice related GAs, or possibly even FAs, Force willing. With my lazy nature, that will take a while. Possibly years. (No, I'm not kidding.)
I like to make sure that articles follow the Layout Guide, and one of these days I've learned the Manual of Style by heart. Recently I've been involved with the image categorization project, which I encourage everyone to take part in. And I quite enjoy referencing too. In short, I'm a nitpicker of the worst best kind.
I became a signed-up Wookieepedian on January 20, 2006. Before that I contributed under various IP addresses (1, 2, 3 & 4) for about six months. (I really took my time didn't I?)
