Hi. I'm SnowyCinema (formerly PseudoSkull), and I find this site to be a source of endless enjoyment. Old books, old movies, and the public domain are my life.

I very often write software to help me and other users here at Wikisource. You can find the software projects I'm working on or have completed on my GitHub.

Some works that hold a special place in my heart:

  • Waylaid by Wireless (1909), by Edwin Balmer, my first book transcription
  • The Fighting Coward (1924), one of my first proofread films, not my first, but is the one I remember more than the actual first
  • Jalna (1927), by Mazo de la Roche, a very popular novel in its time, and also the first transcription I ever completed using the QT (QuickTranscribe) system that I'm currently developing
  • Fighting Back (1924), the 100th completed QuickTranscribe project

Nostalgia (from my younger years)

edit
  • Fantasy Writing (c. 2009), a cute short story I wrote that I only recently discovered in my trove of old papers
  • Armaneens, an unfinished comic book I made cumulatively when I was in middle school
  • Revengers of D'Equois, an unfinished novel I was writing in a notebook in around 8th grade

Modern

edit
  • "Only My Heart", a poem I wrote haphazardly, and I'm using it as a sort of placeholder poem in coding routines
  • Public Domainism (very haphazardly put together, only a draft now), a joke religion

Reminiscence

edit

"Didn't go to the theater? Well, why not? Oh, I did wish you'd gotten home last night. There was the best movie at the Palace—Charlie Chaplin in 'Shoulder Arms'—he's in the army, you know, and of course it's screamingly funny, but very touching, too. One place everybody gets packages from home except Charlie, and he turns away so sadly and eats the cheese out of the mousetrap."
