Educational shows and erotica. I'm not sure how to interpret that, but you sound fun.

Hello and welcome! As Psychospacecow pointed out, that's certainly an interesting combination but it's good to see a new face getting involved in the community all the same!

Welcome Samurai! Glad you could make it, I just pulled the toenail cake and spotted dick out of the oven! Hope you're hungry.
(Spotted dick is a real food, peoples).

For the longest time I kept reading your name as "SamuraiGaben" and my mind was filled with images of Gabe Newell in samurai garbs.
Anyway, now that my dreams have been shattered, welcome to the pack, new guy. Hope you have a lof of fun here, whether it was posting trivia or just dicking around on the site. Like I do. Just don't steal my show. I have none to begin with. I honestly have no clue where I'm going with this. Randomwelcomingguyawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
Yes the book wasn't necessarily planned. I felt my writing was getting stale so my wife challenged me to write something outside of my comfort zone. I told her to give me a prompt and she said, "Transsexual Erotica. Write a Futa Romance with a happy ending."
That was certainly outside of my comfort zone, but it was some of the best stuff I've written n a long time. I contacted a publisher and was told it was good...just not right for them (they dealt with different taboo subjects, like incest and polymorphism, not hermaphroditism). I contacted another publisher and they said, "Sure, if you can get a companion piece written for it, because it's too short on its own."
So after some time I managed to eke out a companion piece after almost a year of planning and starting different takes on a few stories and submitted them both to the second publisher as a combined piece. The submissions editor said, "This is great! Do you have a third one?"
I died at that point.
My ghost was able to jump into hyperdrive and I wrote for about 48 straight hours (I slept for 5 hours somewhere in the middle there) and spent a week editing it before submitting the third piece.
And that's where my first book, Escort, came from.
As for the webseries, I've been an avid scholar of Asian history for years. I got into it after reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and from China I jumped into Japan after learning about the samurai and getting into Jidaigeki movies and all that.
I've held a few panels on samurai at anime conventions the past few years and we had been thinking about, maybe when my books got to a bigger thing, starting up a webseries based on what I do in my panels. But this past year a lot of people approached us after the panel and said they wished I had a Youtube channel or something, because they liked my approach and thought I made the information interesting.
So a few months ago we officially started Samurai Gaiden.
So hopefully I can bring an overabundance of Samurai lore to VGfacts and DYKG. :)

Welcome to the forums :D

Hello. I recently made an account about a few of months ago. Someone told me to go to this forum to introduce myself so I decided to come here. I post facts on this website as a hobby and I became addicted to doing it. I like helping VGFacts get more trivia.

RE: Introductions! - Emanresu - 05-05-2016
Hey everyone, I'm Emanresu. I'm a high school student and I mostly play Nintendo games. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up but some things that interest me are journalism, theater, game development, and crime investigation. I look forward to being a part of the forums!
It seems like there hasn't been an introduction in a while so I'm kinda curious about that.
Also happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

I think you are going to get along just fine around here Eman.
Would recommend the forensics course if your school has it. If its anything like mine was, and you're not terribly accomplished in the sciences, it will be a very pleasant or revealing time for you.

Hi folks! VGChartz brought me here, still trying to orientate. Who knows, maybe I'll stick around? =)
