Hello, and welcome to my profile. | Hello, and welcome to my profile. I'm Smog, and I am a devoted student of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s work. I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri where I go to school as well as work as a T.A. for my department. Outside of school, I play video games (old school RPGs, [[Lord of the Rings Online]], Mass Effect multiplayer, and other various MMOs as they get released), bowl, write, and play board games or tabletop RPGs with my friends. | ||

I am currently working on my graduate degree with my primary focus in Tolkien's work: mainly the early [[The History of Middle-earth|History of Middle-earth]] volumes. My main interests, and the bulk of my writing, concerns the creation of his mythos, and the songs, music, and poetry that play such an important role throughout his writings. My expertise lies in anything concerning the [[Years of the Lamps]] and [[Years of the Trees]]. My [[First Age]] lore is better than most | I am currently working on my graduate degree with my primary focus in Tolkien's work: mainly the early [[The History of Middle-earth|History of Middle-earth]] volumes. My main interests, and the bulk of my writing, concerns the creation of his mythos, and the songs, music, and poetry that play such an important role throughout his writings. My expertise lies in anything concerning the [[Years of the Lamps]] and [[Years of the Trees]]. My [[First Age]] lore is better than most and (compared to other Tolkien scholars) I'm out of my league concerning the [[Second Age]] or beyond. I have a certain obsession with the [[Ainulindalë (song)|Ainulindalë]] and the [[Two Trees of Valinor]]. If you have any questions regarding the creation story of [[Eä]] or the times before the [[Years of the Sun]], don't hesitate to contact me! | ||

Mainly small edits, grammar corrections, redirects, and general cleanup. My personal belief is that the Gateway should be as efficient and organized as possible, so most of my time is spent to that end. I also keep an eye on most of the articles concerning my particular interests that I mentioned above. As I am still a full-time student as well as an instructor, my spare time is limited, so I am not currently able to devote as much time as I would like to the Gateway. | Mainly small edits, grammar corrections, redirects, and general cleanup.
