Introduction time I guess.
I'm Codoro, age 24. I've been writing short stories and poetry for fun off and on for about a decade, but college and then work kinda torpedoed my output. Did a few short films in college and consider dialogue to be one of my strong suits, though I'm likely a little rusty. Graduated last year in Communications with a focus in Radio and Television and currently work at a small local news station. I work the graveyard shift, so I'll likely post at really odd hours.
My interests are really ADD and jump around among video games, reading, anime, western cartoons, comics and pretty much every other stereotypical nerd activity. Really need to play more VNs, but I love the medium and think the industry could do so much with it.

Hey. /u/_thegrapesoda_ here. IT guy by trade, writer by preference, hopes, dreams, passion, what have you. Taking some time off from my normal horror/fantasy/sci-fi shtick to learn about other styles, mediums, etc. Hence: www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/2cpanp/pm_name_a_childrens_show_ill_tell_you_about_its/ along with a couple other upcoming /r/writingprompts threads I plan on creating. I'd definitely like to help out the writing team. However, I don't have the anime/manga theme/archetype/trope knowledge to be as immediately useful as some of the other contributors. I have played Katawa Shoujo (Rinnnnnnnnnn), have watched some anime with relevant characters (Trigun and Samurai Champloo come to mind), and I think tsundere sharks are some of the funniest things I've ever seen, but I'll probably be trawling/begging for read/watch/play suggestions in order to get up to speed with the tsundere "feel" (lookin' for mah senpai, bakas). Regardless, I'm here to help. And beyond writing and editing, I'd like to assist with project management a bit. Design document, timelines, motivation, etc...I really want to see this project become one of the bizarre Internet jewels that people will continue to stumble on for years to come. Oh, and as for the dirty stuff - 26, M, Southeast US. Enjoy reading, writing, gaming (my big 3 right now are SC2, LoL, and MK8, looking to maybe get into DotA and super excited for the new Smash Bros). I tend to work late nights, after everyone else in my household has gone to sleep (aka when husband/father duties have slowed down). I also love slashes, dashes, parentheticals, and ellipses way too much. |

I forgot to do this. Derp.
Hi everyone,
I'm /u/wait_no_really_what. I'm 23, and I study marine biology (my familiarity is mostly with invertebrates though). I'm signed up to help with the art for this thang.
I love anime, manga, drawing, X-men, and scienceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Science is the everything and takes up most of my waking hours. If you want to discuss marine issues with me, I am down.
I haven't played any VN's yet, but have been recommended to play Katawa Shoujo by some of the other forum members to pop my VN cherry.

Welcome aboard!
Personally, I tend to write a lot better when I know the topic well (various facts and whatnot so I can be more creative and don't get things wrong and look like an idiot), and since I don't know a lot about shark biology it would be really nice to have someone who does.
I've read a fair number of VN's, so I can recommend some if you want. I've never read KS though, mostly because of my entirely unfounded bias against it. You might like Ever17, though. It's about a group of people who are "accidentally" (they suspect it wasn't an accident) trapped inside a high tech underwater theme park. They have 7 days to find a way out before it collapses and they die. I can't really say more than that because of how crazy and mindfucky it is. It's the kind of thing that will confuse and mess with you so that you never know what to expect (you may think you know from the description, but trust me, you don't), and the true ending is one hell of a crazy ride. It's easily among the top 3 VN's I've read.
