A Portland native who just moved back home from the University of Oregon. I started editing here when I saw there were red links to The Song Of Roland ... for lo, I am a huge nerd for epics and verse romances. One easy way for a contemporary work of fiction to win my affection is to make use of the vast legendarium of the West.
I'm a traditional Christian. I'm a history nerd, and I get quite emotional about it. Of course, everyone on the fora now knows these things.
