Ohaio, people of Wikia (and, by extension, the Internet)! BlazingStar, a.k.a. Star-chan here, one of two admins of the Hellsing wiki. I'm actually relatively new to Hellsing- I just finished watching and reading it February 2010. But I love it. And Alucard, too. Because he's awesome. And the series is awesome. And it's probably one of the best vampire stories ever told. And...enough of my gushing about Hellsing.

When I joined this wiki, I decided I'm going to help out this wiki as much as possible. I mean, it doesn't even have 100 articles! For an anime that's this well-loved and this widely known, that's a serious issue. So what do we need to do? That's right, kids- we need to get to work. And work I shall.

I mostly specialize in the writing and editing part, but I'm good with formatting and code if I'm shown how. I'm quite the grammar Nazi, and I will edit the crap out of your article or section if it isn't grammatically correct, complete with proper English and all that jazz. So yeah- grammatical errors and typos, watch out! You will [eventually] meet your doom.

Me on Other Wikis

Here I am on the Change 123 Wiki. I'm an admin here, too!

And here I am on the Bleach Wiki. That place is amazing.

I only put my very latest projects and news here. The rest will be archived in my blog.

Argh...haven't been on the internet in two weeks. As one might expect, I am suffering withdrawal symptoms, and am also in the middle of vainly attempting to catch up on all the stuff I've missed. I am so sorry for abandoning you, Hellsing Wiki. Finals Week was a major drag.

So anyway, it appears I can delete pages now! As of...lessee, May 2, I have been given the power to delete stuff, and I think I can greet new users now, too. I never did get an explanation to why my power to delete disappeared with the arrival of Wikia's New Look, but oh, well.

Also, I'm going to be helping out with the startup of the Drifters Wiki, since Gamma Venom 567 kindly created all those Drifter pages and I wouldn't want them to go to waste. They'll find a good home there, I promise. ^_^

I'd like to give a shout-out to Hellsing Wiki user Gamma Venom 567 for creating a bunch of pages for Hirano-sensei's other works; way to go, dude! And thanks to all the other users who help fill out those pages. That entire category needs work, and it gives me something to do. Thanks, users! -mwah-

So apparently, any old user can edit a user page- I mean, user pages that aren't their own. Wikia treats those like normal pages (after all, they are unless someone's protected them) and just lets people edit them. I had no idea. Ya see, it happened to me yesterday when some unregistered user on here edited my page! I was all like, "WTF! How dare they correct my spelling of "Ohayo!" the bastards..." Until I realized they were pretty correct. It's Oyaio because technically, there's no "y" in Japanese. It's kinda hilarious how I didn't see that before (I've always spelled it "Ohayo", even after I started studying Japanese) so I'm not going to revert their edit.

And that's the story of how someone else editing your own page seems really, really funny in retrospect. But I'm still going to protect my page. >.>

P.S.  I have another reason to thank Unregistered User-san: they got me to come onto the Hellsing Wiki when I haven't had serious activity or updated my page in ages! Thanks, Unregistered-san! ^__^

Happy new year, guys! Yaaaaay! Oh, and I just wanted to note that apparently my 600th edit was reached without me knowing- on December 19. blows party horn Whoop-de-doo.

WAAAAAAAH! Earth-san's leaving me! Well, he's not exactly leaving, but he'll be going inactive! And now I'm alone! He says he leaves the wiki in my hands. It's going to make me sad and lonely, but I'll not going to whine about it too much, because I have to think about my responsibility to the Hellsing Wiki- and to Earth-san. -sniff- I'll take good care of it!

In other news, I'm seriously considering adding a whole page for Erin Ptah's And Shine Heaven Now. It's more than a simple webcomic; it has a serious plot, and follows canon "to a T", as they say. I'm such a fangirl for this series.

Favorite Hellsing Characters
In numbered order!
 * 1) Alucard. I mean, he's Alucard. Of course he's my favorite.
 * 2) Sir Integra Hellsing. I have the utmost respect for her as a woman. Not only does she command authority with an iron fist, but she is never weak, she's utterly focused, and did I mention she's a sharpshooter and a deadly fencer? Seriously, we need more chicks like that in anime.
 * 3) Schrodinger. He's so funny! I also had a really tough time determining his gender in reading the manga. I mean, he's a neko (a cat-person), so you usually assume those are girls, right? I know I do.
 * 4) Seras Victoria. She has guns, she has superhuman strength, and later on, she gets totally badass. She's a pretty good heroine, if I say so myself. (I wonder if her name is written in English as Seras, or Ceres, or Seres, or...)
 * 5) Pip. OMG, Pip is the man! He might be a bit trigger-happy, but the man knows his guns, and he's very honor-bound. He's actually quite the gentleman.
