About the Contributor

Winchester Ackerman, Standing Webmaster
Hello, newfound Dear Reader! If you stumbled upon my page, you are doing one of two things – A) You are looking through every staff profile, I’m nothing special, you want me to get on my crossword hobbled knees and beg for your interest as a viewer, or B) You’re wondering who put together those absolutely beautiful website ads / homepage / calendar events / a million other things, and that’s not just me running out of examples. Either way, you are on my page, you have kept reading rather than turning away in disgust and moving on to Leighya’s bio, and I am nothing if not a gracious host. In the metaphorical house that is this website, this is my little bedroom, so I’m going to scoop all my metaphorical Fallout merch and various other nerd crap into my metaphorical closet, and give you a non-metaphorical explanation of who I am.
I am a dedicated writer and website manager for Tiger Tribune, and I also draw all my own thumbnails and ads! The tigers, calendar, reformatting, ad placement, restructuring, and construction and fixing of pages were all done on my own time, and I do not regret any bit of it! (okay, maybe a little.) Also, they are NOT furries, they are TIGER MASCOTS, BECAUSE IT’S TIGER TRIBUNE! I am tired of having to explain this! I break my back to make fun thumbnails, and people call them FURRIES. Grumble.
As a writer, I go under the pen name Crossword Guy, as every good writer needs a pen name, and sometimes it makes the articles more memorable than the person that wrote them. Because let’s be honest, would you remember the full name of the kid that peed himself during Prom 20 years later, or will you just remember your intense giggling as the puddle spread? That is the mindset I have for my writing. I hope I do not have to pee myself in order to become famous as a journalist, but if it comes to it, you gotta do what you gotta do. As for my writing voice, I have always found that readers love a guy who’s charmingly condescending.
As for the other things about me, I am a Freshman and avid [METAL GEAR!!!!!] fan, who is a thoughtless and complete awkward ditz in real life. You might see me in plays, hanging around awkwardly at FFA events, at the library doing D&D sessions with my group, or, if you’re a CREEP, at my house! (You know who you are. Just know that I know, and thought to mention YOU specifically.) I like cats better than dogs, my favorite food changes with my mood, and favorite colors are for wusses. My favorite color is purple, I am a wuss. If I think of anything I will also not hesitate to update it. This is, like, Bio Attempt 3!
