Hi there, call me Shrub please. I know my user name says Shrub420, but someone already had Shrub so I had to make due.

I started writing The Legend of Zelda: Empire of Darkness July 29 of 2004. It's been five years since I started writing this fanfiction. Since then, I have been developing my writing, my characters, and my plot. Thus, I have discovered dozen of plot holes, unrealistic events, out-of-character behavior, and just my sheer crappy writing. I am rewriting it into a final and complete version, edited, and hopefully in its perfect form (as perfect as I can get it to be). So I can understand how others can find the beginning of this story ... unsatisfactory. I find it that way as well. I hope to improve this story tremendously and, therefore, making it enjoyable for all.

And no, I haven't given up on it. I've spent too much thought, time, and effort on it to abandon the idea now. I'm stubborn like that. Even if it takes me years, I shall prevail!

Even though I've worked hard and for a very long time on this fanfiction, I'm okay with the fact I would never be able to publish it. I write for me. I write because I like it, and I love Zelda so I combined the two. The weird thing is that I'm not even sure if I'll be a writer after this. Maybe for like a hobby. I've put a lot of effort into this even though it really doesn't get me anywhere other than just enjoying the activity myself, which is what counts.

Anywho, reality check, I'm a girl. I'm nineteen. I hit a very big streak of writer's block that has lasted for two or so years (I know. It's painful), but I'm starting to slowly come out of it. Right now I'm working on a short story to get me warmed up again. Some practice for these writing muscles that haven't been used for a while.
