Author has written 8 stories for Mario, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Hey everybody! This is TheGameNguyener (TGN) here!
I am a huge fan of Nintendo, but I'm mostly a Mario gamer (especially in Mario Kart). My favorite character of all time is the man in green himself, Luigi!
After reading a bunch of fanfiction stories on some of my favorite video game characters, it inspired me to start writing my own, just for the hell of it.
If there's one thing that I like, it's the brotherly bond between two of my favorite video game duos: Mario/Luigi and Sonic/Tails.
If there's one thing I'm sadistic about, it's making or seeing my favorite characters suffer, most notably Luigi and Tails because they're the younger siblings (which is relatable to me). And yes, I know it sounds f'd up, but that's why I've been interested in stories that include this. I've done this myself, too.
I also like memes, preferably ones from SpongeBob.
General Stuff About Me:
Real Name: Not saying (just refer to me as TGN); unless you're a friend on Switch, I won't reveal my name.
Current Status: Employed; Back to School (trying to pursue a new career)
Education: Graduated w/ Bachelor's Degree in Pharmaceutical Health Care Studies
Gender: Male
Birthday: September 10 (9/10)
Age: Not saying (Legal to drink, but I HATE beer, liquor, etc. Almost anything alcoholic makes me want to gag.)
Nationality: Vietnamese (but I mainly speak English)
Favorite Colors: Red, Blue, Green
Favorite Sports Team: Philadelphia Phillies
All-Time Favorite Song: Phoenix - Lisztomania
Favorite Modern Song (2020): The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
Favorite Modern Song (2019): Post Malone & Swae Lee - Sunflower
Fun Fact: I am a former artist on Miiverse, known to draw tons of SpongeBob memes and connect them to video games (Smash Bros., Splatoon, Mario Kart, etc.). Over a year and a half's worth of experience, my account peaked over 2000 followers before Miiverse was shut down. I still saved my drawings, but sadly, they're no longer accessible on the Internet for me and everyone else who appreciated my art on the social platform.
Stupid Fact: I'm 5'3'', meaning I'm too fucking short to reach anything that people who are at least 5'8'' have no trouble doing.
Bad Habit: I can be easily irritable and express how low my self-esteem is. If I'm in a bad mood, I prefer to not have anyone talk to me until I cool down. You don't want to come near me if I'm ticked off at something or someone.
I (normally) DON'T take story requests, and I DON'T do RPs (roleplays). I also don't own some of the original artworks I have used for my profile/story images.
Note: I own a Nintendo Switch, and if you want to become friends with me online, I'll accept under several conditions.
1) I must know who you are on FanFiction, and you have to be someone I can trust.
2) I won't accept requests from Guest users due to the lack of communication and inability of sending private messages. You must have a FanFiction account for me to speak with you.
3) If all of the above work out, send me your friend code via PM. I will not release my own code to others unless I personally get to know you.
What to Expect from My Writing:
I tend to write themes based on Adventure, Friendship, Family, Hurt/Comfort, and Action. I also have a serious mindset when it comes to developing ideas for the plot. Usually, I'll focus on Mario stories since it's my favorite video game series, but I have an interest in Sonic because of Sonic and Tails' relationship. I occasionally implement humor here and there, but I'm not the best at it. I'm also not great at writing romance either. Plus, you might notice some tidbits of OOC moments for the characters I write about.
For all stories on my profile, if you're interested in any of them, be sure to follow/favorite for updates, follow my profile for new story introductions, and leave reviews so I can receive feedback on whether you like them or not, or to help me improve my writing! A list of my completed and current fanfics are shown down below (under the next horizontal line and at the very bottom of my profile). Click any of the links to access a story!
One thing, though: Please do NOT leave flames. I only accept constructive criticism. Any spam and disrespectful comments might result in getting blocked by me. (No, I'm NOT kidding.)
As a trivial side note, I also hate the formatting of this site because it resets bold, italicized, and/or underlined font for no reason... Happens every time when I'm editing my profile description or the pages in the Doc Manager. And when I see my profile, almost EVERYTHING is underlined and italicized. Not only that, but the bullet points are messed up as well. Admins, PLEASE FIX THIS.

What I Look into Stories to Read:
I generally like the themes I mentioned above, so those are my top preferences. To reiterate, I enjoy Mario and Luigi stories a lot, whether it's from the Mario genre or Smash Bros. I also like fanfics with Sonic and Tails where their close friendship/brotherly bond is accentuated. But I'll look at anything else that might catch my eye.
Sidenote: I don't remove favorites or follows on other people's stories unless I genuinely do not have any interest in the fanfic anymore or if it hasn't been updated for a long period of time (at least 1 year, minimum), unless I really like it. I've had my fair share of losing favorites and followers on my work. If those people do it for the same reasons I mentioned, then I guess it's understandable. But it would mostly be for the former because the longest I've gone without updating a particular story is about three months.
