I have been using the Wiki as long as I've been playing LOTRO (since September 25, 2001). I would like to polish up some of the areas that I've noticed over time that are inconsistent with other areas. These areas include the resource instances in Moria, various crafting nodes for the different professions (not all of them are identical), and other areas I can be useful in.
Currently, I don't have Mordor, so I spend my time in game gathering resources, leveling alts, crafting, grinding LOTRO Points, working on reputation, and writing programs to calculate various things I'm curious about. I use a lot of plugins and plan to write one of my own eventually.
I have twelve characters on Laurelin, even though I live in Texas, USA. When I started in 2001 my friends I played with were in European time zones. All but one of them have left the game now and the last one is hardly ever on anymore. My husband and I have two characters that we consider to be married in-game and we are working on leveling our way through the game together. As of February 2019 we are in Mirkwood.
Outside of LOTRO I love to knit and write. I have published on article on vice.com and several short stories on smashwords.com and my personal domain for free, as well as several fanfiction stories for Supernatural and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have been knitting and crocheting since I was 12 but started getting seriously involved in the fiber arts in 2009. In the summer of 2019 completed a twin size Minecraft afghan that took me over forty-eight hours of actual crochet time. I also am currently a freelance test knitter and sample knitter for a yarn company. They send me yarn and a pattern and I knit the project for photograhping for publication.
I enjoy symphonic metal music like Sonata Arctica and Nightwish. I don't like most American metal as played on the radio. I prefer my metal to have melody (and in the case of Nightwish, a bit of operatic melody) as well as hard drum beats and electric guitars.
My three cats run the show in my house. We are just slaves to them.
