RE: Why did you stay at PokéBeach?
I was a real lurker in 2009 on the Game Corner, enjoying the Werewolf competitions, YLYL, and everything else. Eventually I wanted to join in and created an account, but I got off after two weeks. Didn't really fit in. I would say that a year later (December 2010), I decided to come back, mainly because the Pokegym Fan Fic section was so limited. I used the Writer's Corner as an experiment for my love of writing, and I eventually made the acquaintance of Incinermyn, Zyflair, DNA and Zenith. Their encouragement and friendship and the rest of games forum made me want to stay. After breaking off from TPOR, I became on less frequently, but I started playing competitive Pokemon about two months before that and revived my activity in the RMT forum. My writing evolved further and started to become more resembling adult fiction, so I started working offsite. I remain very active in the video game and miscellaneous forums because they are engaging and it's a pleasure to offer advice with teams and opinions. I feel like I contribute to the community and get a great feeling when I do, and I return each day to see what more you guys have in store for me. I contribute as much as I can here because I'm glad to.
