Xenon here.
Most probably don't know me, but I've been a member since the beginning of 2008 after finding out about Fakku from a thread on 4chan's /h/. I finally became active on the forums at the end of 2010 because of the Fakku Seasonal Writing Contest. Ever since then, I've been very active in the Writing and Fanfiction section and pretty much no where else. I'm too long-winded, serious, and genuine a person for IB so I steer clear.
After the Seasonal Writing Contest, the people who started it took off from the section so I took it up as my own and have been hosting it every winter since 2011. I look forward to it every year.
In that time, I enrolled in college, and subsequently graduated with a bachelors degree in psychology but unfortunately can't use it on its own and I didn't want to go further with it.
After graduating and failing to find relevant work, I ended up taking a job in a graduate studies library for two years. I'm a pretty quiet but highly organized person so it fit pretty well. I've enrolled in a program starting this fall to get a masters degree in library and information science. It would be nice to work in a public library, utilizing my desire to help people directly.
Just a month or so ago I decided to give back to Fakku and help out, so I've been on the tagging and uploading team with Misaki_Chi & Co. Plus, it fits well with my professional development in information keeping. It's been nice so far.
In my spare time, I avidly play video games on PC. I typically love "triple-A" single-player adventures and moving onto the next title after completing one. However, I have played various multiplayer games intensively, namely Team Fortress 2, DotA 2, LoL, Street Fighter 4, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. My latest love is The Witcher 3, a damn fine game. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to add me on any PC gaming medium.
TL;DR: I'm Xenon, a writer from the W&F section, been here since 2008. I run the winter writing contests. I'm trying to become a librarian. I'm a tagger and uploader now. I have played PC games my whole life. PM me if you want to friend me and play some games together.

Also, Gambler, it has indeed been some time. I hope you have been and will continue to be well. My sincere regards to you.
