+ | I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm using this page to keep some resources. I also have a few [[#Subpages|Subpages]] for working on big changes to articles that aren't ready to go in the actual article yet. |

||
− | I often take inspiration for edits from things I see in [[Special:RecentChanges]] so if I edit something you just did, it's probably not because you did anything wrong, I just saw something else on the page that I thought could be improved. |
