Hello everyone! Regarding "The Leader's Origin," I have scraped what is currently here and decided to begin rewriting it as a new story. I realized how many opportunities I missed when I wrote the first one, and decided that the only way I would ever find enough inspiration to finish it is by rewriting it. I'm so exciting. My motivation has come back in full, and I think this will be a success. Of course, you can read my full detailed description further explaining why I'm doing this in the "old" Leader's Origin story, as it is the remaining chapter. Thank you for understanding.

Little bit about me: I am nineteen, I attend a really cool university, my major is media and communications, and I double-minor in creative writing and photography (if you'd like to view my photography portfolio, send me a PM!). I'm part of the Fine Arts Honors College, and really proud of it. I've written my whole life, and it was this craft that I've honed that allowed me to be part of the Honors College. Otherwise, I'm incredibly average.

The dream is to become a published author. I love writing Fanfiction and everything about this website that allows aspiring authors, like myself, to have an outlet for their work, and one that actually allows their work to be read. I've learned a lot from this site that has helped better my writing, and for that, I'm really thankful. Critiquing reviews fuel my ambitions, so keep them coming. Any feedback is welcomed with opened arms, and I usually reply through PM. Granted, if you review my firstborn "The Champion's Beginning" (Cynthia's trainer story) I might not reply because I am well aware of the shenanigans that is that story. It's a hot mess, but I'm insanely proud of it. That was the first time I wrote a novel-sized story. I never gave up on it, and I wrote it every day with a passion and drive until it's completion. After that story I wrote "Snake Eyes," which is Champion Lea's (my OC from "TCB") story. It's my first and only villain story, and I'm proud of that hot mess, too. I proved to myself that I could write a story from a villain's perspective, yet have people sympathize with the villain. Even though the writing quality is rough, I'm proud of the story and proud I successfully did what I set out to do. Now I'm writing the third story of my little saga, Volkner's part in all of this. (The Leader's Origin) I'm proud of this one as well, even though it's sooooo stubborn sometimes. It's coming together not as I planned, but I have grown to love it.

On the side I write a series of Cynthia one-shots called "Cynthia's Letters" that ties in with the story I've crafted. I try new styles and new genres, and I'm really happy with how they've come out!

I have many more stories planned. After The Leader's Origin, I plan on writing The Champion's Beginning official sequel and the ending to my saga, "Losing My Ground." I'm working on a lot of non-Fanfiction as well. I'm so excited for what's to come. Take a peek at my work if you're interested, it means the world to me. Thank you for reading.

Affectionately,

One Dapper Mudkip
