Hey, how's it going? Name's Maxxus Herald, though I guess you knew that already, didn't you? Call me Maxx, please. Really though, thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. I'd offer you something to eat, but by the time it'd arrive in your mailbox you probably wouldn't want to eat it.

Ah! I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself, hm?

I've been on this site for a while, but writing has been slow-going. I signed up after several years of writing original pieces, some of which have been locally published. I had actually been thinking about it for some time, but it was another author's work that finally pushed me through that door.

Update: Admittedly, I've been signed up for a while now, but never got around to actually writing anything for the site. After a few years, I am very rusty, so please bear with me. Any assistance you could give as far as criticisms, likes, dislikes, and reviews are concerned would be greatly appreciated. Also, trolls and flamers will be promptly ignored.

(8/29/2012) Update: Added an easier to use OC template. Pretty much the same, minus stats and Jutsu list. However, so that I may develope the character I have added a small thing called Core Words. Basicly, you put in 5 words that are to be the core of that character's person. At least two of those words must be directly related to how the character fights.

(2/12/2013) Update: So... yeah. I'm kind of bouncing around between different ideas and fanfictions, so please try to not be too upset that I have this huge eyesore of a profile. I do eventually plan to come back to everything I write.

(10/31/2013) Update: Yeah... I'm tired of scrolling down so far every time I need to look over my profile, so I'm going to shorten this down. As for news, I'm currently working on "Cheat Codes: On." On the side, I'm trying to write "Critical Hit! It's Massively Effective!" However, my writing methods are much like method acting. Getting in the right mindset to write it is actually proving to be bad for my mental health, so I've been putting that on hold until I'd re-balanced myself. The third thing I've been trying to write is "This Merry Ol' Mercenary Band." Honestly, I'm stuck on this one scene. Bleh.

(7/29/2016) Update: Geez, it's been a while. Sorry for being gone so long. I've cleaned up my page, and can hopefully get back to writing soon. Delays have mostly been from college, and working so that I can afford to go to college.

More importantly, story statuses. Save for "Cheat Codes: On!" and "This Merry Ol' Mercenary Band," everything is currently dead. If I start writing them again, it'll probably be a rewrite as I don't like where I was taking the story. I'm not the same person I was when I was writing them, and simply don't want to make that kind of material.

Until such time, my main focus will, as per usual, be "Cheat Codes: On!"

(1/3/2017) Update: For those looking forward to "Cheat Codes: On!" I have to apologize. It's going to be a while longer. In the meantime, I'll slowly be posting whatever I can, whenever I can.
