While most native english speakers think of my username, particularly the last 4 letters, as being some kind of bastardization of sexual intercourse, it is indeed a bastardization, but rather of the german word for "fox", "fuchs". So Aetherfukz is a fox that hails from the aether.


What do you want? (the Shadow question)

edit

As altruistic as it may sound, I want to help make Wikipedia a better place. It has helped me so much with studying, learning new things and understanding old things better, so I just want to contribute my little part to this wonderful place.


Why are you here? (Lorien's question)

edit

At the moment I specialize in removing vandalism in all its forms, because to but it bluntly, I am not comfortable enough yet to write new entries or rewrite huge blocks of old entries. Part of that comes from me not being a native english speaker, and another part from getting aquainted to wikistyle.
