Greetings comrades

Name: Most of my buddies call me Moxxi. If you've known me for a while you may still know me as Black(Lightning). Whichever. Kevin is also acceptable if you want to be boring and call me by given name.

Status: College student working towards a degree in Computer Science while balancing the fractured relationships of my family members and health issues. I am a busy, busy man.

About my Writing: I've been writing for personal entertainment probably since I was 9 or so. I started off with little FanFictions of Teen Titans, but once I actually found the FF website, I posted some of my better writings (which are still abhorrent compared to anything I type now... given, this is 10 years of experience ago) on the site. I was surprised at the immense satisfaction I felt from every single review, no matter if it was a simple smiley emoticon or if it was a drawn out essay offering up improvements and feedback. I really tried to hone my skills, to become better for the people who enjoyed reading my work, and to become better at simply expressing the fantasies and ideas that battered my mind 24/7. What you see today, anything within the last few months, is the fruits of my progress so far. I'm always trying new things and trying to improve. I go through phases (comedy phase, writing with no sleep phase, headcanons, serious phase, one-line paragraphs, etc.) and I even have these odd little stints I get in where I just say 'forget it, no more writing' but in the end I always come back. If you're reading this, I suppose you came to my profile either to browse my other stories or to know a little more about the author of something I wrote, so I suppose I should just thank you dearly simply for reading my work. I don't care whether it's loved or hated, laughed at or bringing tears, in the end... I really just love to know someone's looking at the hard work that I've poured my heart and soul into.

Thank you. Thank you dearly.

This section down here is for any personal notes I ever leave on my profile. Sometimes I date them, sometimes I don't. They shift and change with my mood, and my personal life.

Today, I felt as if I needed a name change. While Darkflames and Fire was kind of iconic for me for like 7 years in many variations, I wanted something different. Totally wanted to just go with Mad Moxxi, but hey, M0xxi works too I guess. This is just here to confirm that I still am the very same writer in case you already knew me by DFaF. I'm working on a really big project right now, actually, as well as a few small stories. We'll see when (if; life is troubling at the moment) I get a chance to put them up.

Also, Katawa Shoujo. Life-consuming work of beauty... and it may or may not have something to do with the project I mentioned *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Whoah, I'm not dead? What a surprise, or something.

I stopped writing seriously a few years ago now (My profile still mentioned I was 17 not but a few moments ago... oh my). Today, as I felt the itch to put proverbial ink to metaphorical paper once more, I noticed something very unsettling.

My Fanfiction folder is gone. Like, all of it.

The laptop I had formerly used for writing needed to be wiped, and so I had transferred the folder and everything in it to a flash drive, which apparently no longer has any files for no good reason that I can decipher. That would be approximately 10 years of writing, both stories that I've posted and those I decided against posting, gone, like they never even existed. It's a strange feeling to watch something that had been such a large part of my life in my early teen years disappear like that, especially since any stories that I had been working on at the time have disappeared with it, including a larger project that I had been working on, which will now never see fruition. Ye gods.

Now, to be fair, a setback like this isn't the end of the word, simply very disheartening. Many people over the past couple of years have reached out in reviews and PMs looking for me to continue some of the pieces I left on less solid endings, or those I made tentative hints towards continuations for, and although it pains me to say it, I really have no interest to continue the majority of the works from before my hiatus. "Hello, I'm Your Stalker" will likely be the only story, if any, which receives continuations, and even then I'm not expecting a full-blown adventure out of it. College is sucking a whole lot out of my existence, as well as just keeping myself happy, which usually involves copious amounts of video games with my friends. Not to mention I barely even want to see MSWord after hours of writing for essays most of the time. It's easier just to relax.

Without continuing the pity party more than it already has, and to sum up all of these points, I'll leave you with this:

tl;dr All the writing I've ever done is gone. I'm in college, and while I'd like to write, I don't have much time or motivation most days. Continuations and new stories may be in the future, but that is tentative, and not a promise.

Also, I'm Moderately Mad Moxxi now. New name, new man.

Smaller update this time, because indecisiveness is a point I've been working on.

I am hereby guaranteeing a minimum one extra chapter to "Hello, I'm Your Stalker." Look forward to it. I've been reading Koharu no Hibi (Manga) at the behest of a reviewer and am thoroughly enjoying the experience as I work to draw some parallels, if not give me the motivation to work the chapter outright. Don't expect it in the next few days, but know that I'm working on it, if that was something you're interested in.

Right, so uh… please don’t hate me! I swear to god I’m going to make a sequel to “Hello, I’m Your Stalker” just… you know… someday. SoonTM and all that. I fell off the wagon with college and life in general and I really just don’t have any inspiration for how I’m supposed to continue it.

I do, however, have ideas for a new Teen Titans fic, and maybe a few other things if I get around to them. My free time is currently split between making a somewhat-simple text-based RPG that I’m coding (and writing) from the ground up as I learn programming. If you’re unaware, that means it’s basically a big virtual choose-your-own-adventure book, with a little RPG combat on the side. Expect cheesy romance and needlessly complex relationship systems whenever I actually manage to get passed making combat work properly.

And, y’know… writing the content for the rest of the game.

Just here to make people aware I'm not dead, just frustrated with my inability to cope with a college workload. I'm trying. I really am.
