So, I've been reading VNs for the past few years but haven't really participated in any actual discussion about them before. Just a whole lotta lurking. I thought that was a bit depressing, so here I am. As for personal tastes, I'm down for any genre as long as the writing is decent, although I'm particularly fond of mystery and horror -- so, naturally, I'm a big Higurashi and Umineko fan. Anyway, good to be here.
