Hi, I'm a flying cat. I originally edited TV Tropes under a different name; I went back and forth between the two sites but left there permanently after the "gray is the new black" redesign. Despite its flaws, MediaWiki at least lets users change their personal settings to view the site as it looked in the past.

I edit things sometimes.

+I edit things sometimes.
-Hi, I'm [[Tomboyish Name|Spike]], [[Blatant Lies|and I'm a cat]]. I might be some kind of hybrid between characters from [[Tom and Jerry]]. I'm originally from [[TV Tropes]] but decided to come here under a [[Recycled in Space|shiny new name]] because this site has a less annoying interface.
+Articles I've created:
-Anyway, I won't be doing a whole lot on average--just spelling and grammar, mostly.
+*[[Strange Eons]]
+*[[The Electric Ant]]
-I am frequently guilty of [[Buffy Speak]] and [[Like Is, Like, a Comma]], though I recognise that "like" is actually an intensifier, or a filler word, or, anyway, some kind of thingy that you use for stuff.  Not a comma, though.
-I did [[Strange Eons|this]].

-'''The Electric Ant''' is a short story by [[Philip K. Dick]]. Garson Poole, the owner of Tri-Plan Electronics, wakes up in the hospital missing his right hand after losing it in an accident while flying his "mercantile squib". In this future it's apparently possible to graft on new hands, but the doctor tells him they can't do it here because he's an "[[Title Drop|electric ant]]" -- an "organic" robot with flesh covering the electronic components. This revelation is understandably disturbing, and after that point things get pretty weird.
-*[[Future Slang]]: "Going splunkishly" apparently means going well, and science fiction TV shows are called "captain kirks".
-*[[Tomato in the Mirror]]: Poole finding out he's a robot, though it's fairly early on and most of the story comes afterward.
-*[[Video Phone]]: Everyone seems to use these instead of the other kind. They're called "fones".
