It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment.-- Carl Friedrich Gauss

I'm including the pretentious quote above in order to explain my screenname - I usually use the names of mathematicians. That right there may tell you all you need to know about me. (I must admit that I was tempted to say 'poncey' quote, but since I'm from Ohio the whole UK affectation seems a bit ridiculous.)

Anyway, I originally registered here for one purpose:

(1) To be able to review geo3’s amazing stories.

At the time, I didn’t realize you could leave anonymous reviews, thus rendering my account inessential – d'oh! After my epiphany, I decided to add purpose #2 to the list:

(2) To use my (now unnecessary) account to list my favorite Star Wars stories, most of them involving Anakin and Padmé.

I reasoned that although I may not be able to write my way out of a paper bag (I’m much more comfortable with numbers), I can read with the best of them! And there are some excellent stories out there. However, recently I have been lured out of the comfortable world of lurkdom by the siren song of writing fan fiction. Thus, purpose #3:

(3) To list my own short collection of Star Wars stories.

We’ll see how long this exercise in vanity lasts. :-) If you're feeling indulgent, please read and review. Thanks!
