It has been (nearly) 12 years since I joined Fimfiction. Once upon a time, I was the new guy, years behind the popular trend. Now, I could frame it as joining 'one whole MLP generation ago'.

I am very much not the most productive person on this site, but I promise I've been doing something with my time! Sure, I don't really have much of the next story I've been working on to show for it, but that's because I've been working on the research (if you could call it that) behind it a lot more than I have been working on writing it.
