Hurray! I finally got to updating this profile of mine. Reading my first attempt, I can only conclude that I was high when I wrote that one. High and young. Well, carrying on, I guess I'll imitate other profiles and not blab any attempt at handling personal information. I'll just be referred to by my pen name, Tantei1412 or Tantei. I don't really know why your visiting this profile, but welcome nonetheless. Here, we have a Favorite Stories list that is somewhat large (I have seen some that has single digits and one that reached up to three thousand), the reason for that is I use that to check for updates so... Well, I'd like to think that the list has some semblance of standard, but to each his own, right?

A little rambling from me, I stumbled upon this wonderful site while looking for Sly Cooper comics back when our year number only had two non-zero digits, weird huh? It was then that I realized the wonders of Fanfiction, here I immediately jumped into the archives and encountered stories like Ascension of the Kitsune, and other entertaining stories and the series that inspired my pen name Tantei, Ysabet's The Window, The Longest Hour, Second Wind up to the Windfall, which is unfinished and probably going to remain that way. It reignited my adoration for the show from childhood, Detective Conan, it stood out to me because it was the only show at the time that didn't involve super powered people, another world or mythical creatures. The protagonist only had his wit and the nifty little gadgets that made me drool at the time (I still do sometimes) Of course, this does not mean that I was not fond of other shows, Pokemon and Card Captor Sakura are also fond cornerstones of my childhood.

shakes head* Enough reminiscing from some random person, some random facts that people usually point out and/or ask eventually. No, English is not my native language. Yes, I am, in fact, male. No, I am currently in college right now and finally, no, I do not know where they hid it. (Questions to these answers may vary but are usually logically comprehensible)

Now, onto ranting... I am currently burning all my time playing Rune Factory 3 (Seriously, I am always late for these things) and moping about the early and utterly cliffhanger-ish end of Mahou Sensei Negima! Other than that, I currently follow the animes, SAO (Kirito for the win!) and Kokoro Connect. I am up to date with SAO's light novels, or as up to date Baka Tsuki can be (which is stressing, I tell you, following the story at a hair's breadth) Oh, and I follow Hayate no Gotoku right now, and currently reading some manga on and off, depending on my mood, including some mainstreams.

If I had been involved with a franchise, chances are there is some story favorite in my list. Though these days, I encounter the fanfics first before looking at the actual show and/or whatever form it takes.

Some sites I stalk... Might be interesting to you guys, TvTropes, Beast's Lair, Gamefaqs... well, other than the usual Youtube, manga site and anime streaming site.

Web comics are awesome, try Giant in the Playground.

Tried writing a fic once (as can be seen below) DON'T READ IT. I was young, high and incredibly unprepared for such a large scale fic (if it even lifted off the ground) Probably some sort of twisted sense of pride and achievement, coupled with chronic laziness keeps it there. I can only have some peace in deleting it once I post a one-shot (even something like this, I will do ONE DAY, dammit!) but all my ideas continuously morph into either incredibly lengthy ones or warped beyond recognition.

Ah well, I'll cut off here, and it'll probably a long time again before I update again.

Thanks for visiting!
