I'm a 20-year-old man, and pretty new to the MLP fandom (I officially joined in... April? of 2016... I think?). I first got sucked into this community by YouTuber Vannamelon; specifically, her "Fluttershy Plays" series, and more specifically, Fluttershy playing FNAF. Basically, it was 3am, I was bored and curious, I watched it, thought it was funny, and as I kept watching, I heard the in-jokes and references and wanted to understand them. So I dug deeper. A week later, I was reading fanfictions on this site and watching the show, completely hooked. I'm still kinda in the closet about it -- only a select few people outside the fandom know, and only one is a family member. I'm slowly being more open about it, but social anxiety is a bitch.

Currently on track to join the U.S. Army as a Cavalry Scout.

I'm kinda everywhere in terms of other interests. I'm really into weapons and the military. I am also into some anime; nothing really mainstream or too out-there (specific titles that I follow are To Love-Ru, KissxSis, Monster Musume, and other weird ones along those lines). My main form of entertainment is YouTube, mostly gaming channels (Markiplier, Derp Crew, and many others). My music tastes are as varied as AR-15's (only gun nuts will get that joke). I'll listen to any genre, so long as the beat's good and the lyrics aren't just racial slurs, sex jokes or screaming repeated on a loop for four minutes. I'm also a gamer; casual for the most part, but I'm pretty into the table-top scene as well.

- Favorite musicians/bands (more YouTubers): Miracle of Sound, JT Machinima, Home Free, Aviators
- Favorite non-MLP TV shows: The Walking Dead (still need to catch up, on Season 5), Law and Order (any series)
- Favorite authors on Fimfiction: The Abyss, Nordryd, Harm's Way
- Best pony, IMO: It's a three-way tie between Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy, with Applejack at a close second. Outside of the Mane 6, uh... Luna's cool, too.
- Favorite games (video-games): Battlefield series, Civilization series, Fallout series, South Park: The Stick of Truth (can't wait for the sequel!), The Last of Us.
- Favorite games (table-top): Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, GURPS

This one's for the other gun lovers out there, my current real-life arsenal consists of:
- Swiss K31; all stock (no added accessories)
- S&W M&P15; Troy railed handguard, MFT vertical grip and pistol grip, 4x32 scope, Magpul QD 1-point sling
- Cimarron Model 1878
- Stevens 311
- Stevens 88D
- Winchester 1200
- Mossberg 500 Persuader
- Marlin Model 60
- S&W 686
- Remington 700; 30-06 Springfield, 3-9x40 sniper scope, bipod
- Glock 19, Gen 4
- Lee Enfield No. 1 Mk III, dated 1912 (her name is the Duchess Winifred, and she will be respected!)

If you're curious about one of the above, Google it, or shoot me a PM. I may or may not know.

As far as my writing's concerned, I mostly tend to write military or otherwise combat-oriented stories (I did so even before I became a brony. "Write what you know," I guess). I try to keep my stories as realistic as possible, but will sometimes go Hollywood for the sake of story. I'm not proud of it, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? I will admit that I'm not consistent when it comes to publishing, whether it be a new chapter for ongoing stories or putting out new content i have planned. I'm trying to get better, but life gets in the way. Plus, I'm lazy as hell.

I currently work in a cabinet-making factory, staining doors different colors. Before that, I worked at a McDonald's for a year and a half, and became a crew trainer before I quit due to money-needing reasons (the above weapons didn't pay for themselves after all. Well, okay I inherited some, but still...)

I'm single at the moment, and by the looks of things, that isn't likely to change anytime soon. I guess I'm too awkward, and way too shy. Like, we're talking Fluttershy levels of shyness, here.

If you need a proofreader, editor, or just another opinion, shoot me a PM. I'm always willing to help others with their stories.
