That being said, I suppose that's a good place to start. My writing tends to be more formal than I would like. I have recently started incorporating contractions and less formal elements so that it doesn't come across quite as stilted, but I'm afraid the effect hasn't changed very much.

I am currently working on my Master's degree in English (specifically Nineteenth Century British Literature). Thus, it should come as no surprise that reading is my favorite pastime. I favor the English and European classics more than anything. Generally speaking I detest American literature for some reason I have yet to figure out. Well written contemporary historical fiction also holds a dear place in my heart. I have yet to tackle any Japanese light novels simply because I'm not sure where to begin.

My tastes regarding anime are constantly fluctuating. I find that recently I have become less tolerant of derivative and overtly trope-laden shows. I adore "grim-dark" and tragic shows. I do not watch shounen or "ecchi" shows simply because I find nothing enjoyable in them. This may be because I am very far removed from the target audience of those genres. Interestingly enough I gravitate more toward seinen than josei despite the fact that I'm a woman. That being said, I am currently following two shows this season: Psycho-Pass and Shin Sekai Yori.

What else, what else . . . I think that's about it. If anyone would like to know anything else please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting everyone

Welcome to the Forums Rosalena. You do sound formal but that can be a good thing.
I love reading too but I don't necessarily have the taste for contemporary historical fiction. I read American Literature but I try to open myself to other options. Like you, I have not read any Japanese Light Novels so I can't help you in that area but there are many others who can help you.

You have a very interesting taste in animes. I hope you find more of what you are looking for.

Nice to meet you Rosalena. I hope you have a good time here at the Forums.

Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you all.

My Name is Riandi and I'm from Indonesia. I'm a college student of computer engineering. In my spare time, I use to watch Anime, read Manga & Doujin, or occasionally play some Trading Card Games like Weiss Schwarz or MtG. About games, I do play some games like C&C, Oblivion, Skyrim, Dark Soul, etc but since life as college student prevent me to play, i can't play much....and yeah, i do play some VNs/Eroges, of course a translated version/patch since i can't understand much about Japanese. Hope someday i can have time to learn more about hiragana/katagana or even kanji.

For hobby, i love to collect Figurines. PVC, Figma, Nendoroid, SOC, SRC, Robot damashii, Composite Ver. Ka, and many more. Gunplas? I do have some but currently my study prevent me from building more Gunplas

I have known this forum for a year but since my language skill still need improvement, i restrain myself from interacting via posting in forums. Until not long ago i decided to register & take challenge to polish my grammar.

Thus, I'm still inexperienced but i hope we can get along as fellow Otakus. Thx

Hi

I'm new and hope to get along well with everyone!

I like long walks in the park, dogs, music, PS3, pool and exercising.

No shots at anyone here at all but...

How are the mods on this forum?

I'm too lazy to do anything worth banning or warning. However, I'd just like to know how quick they are with the ban hammer.

*EDIT*

I've lurked these forums for ar least 3 and a half years.

I'm not good at drawn out lengthy conversations on philosophical aesthetics in anime.

lol welcome ^^ I think you will be fine.

I'm not one for long drawn out conversations on that subject matter either, I'm more for inserting my opinion giving people kudos on theirs and getting the hell out of there.

Hi, just joined.

My username is inspired from a Christie novel, not the (admittedly great) Touhou BGM.

I've been described as an "Omnivore" when it comes to my taste in Anime, Manga and related media. Some people think I have terrible taste, other's think I have terrific taste. My profile has enough info to suffice for being an introduction if you are curious.

Nah your writing style is fine and makes for a nice read, and even if your writing was stilted you're hot enough that it can be forgiven.

After years and years of sorrow and lurking, the treads of madness and solitude carried me from west to east, from north to south, from TV Tropes to /AMP/.

But the time has come, I must settle down.
Life is too short to walk the (digital) earth, to lurk in numerous treads but post in none.

Thus has come the time when I shall joint your forum! Rejoice, commoners! Hide in the shadows, Waifu owners! Run, yaoi fingirls! Your greatness has come under the name of the great "Boke!"
