It's been a while since I've made an introduction post; I'm a bit rusty at it.
I've been reading VNs for who-knows-how-long. I don't remember what exactly was my first, but some of the earliest ones I played were Narcissu, Hotel Dusk, the first two Ace Attorney games, and Katawa Shoujo. I'm mostly interested in yuri, otome, and BL (usually in that order), but I won't turn down a well-written galge.
I don't watch much anime or read manga very often, and I don't read light novels at all, but I do listen to a lot of Japanese music, especially j-metal and visual kei. Both my avatar and signature images are from j-power album covers. I play a shitton of video games besides VNs (my backlog is embarrassingly large) and have a major soft spot for narrative-focused games, which is one of the reasons I'm so interested in VNs. I'll read just about anything put in front of me, which is both a blessing and a curse.
I'm a professional editor/proofreader and do writing commissions, including for VNs. Among others, I was a proofreader for Pairs and This, My Soul. I'm the writer of a yuri KN named A Tale of Two Extras; it's unfortunately stalled at the moment, but I'm determined to get it released someday!
I've been studying Japanese for a while now, though I still consider myself beginner-level (as in "not even N5" beginner-level) and don't plan on translating anything anytime soon.
It's nice to meet you all!
